Heads

Postby fiat218 » Fri Mar 17, 2017 11:20 am

What I have is a 1608 in my garage with a 1438 head attached
I turn over the engine by land with ease, no catch no where

I also have in my garage is a new head 1756 , I did some checking with the casting numbers before I decided to ask on this

What I am wondering is, can the 1756 head be placed on the 1608 block, does the water passage line up and or everything else

Thanks

From all I have read and what randy has told me that the 1608 will slip right in to the 70 engine bay with out any modifications,and housing will all bolt up from a 1438 ( that what in the 70 )
So I do have a engine for it
