Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the KB #1 and maybe the Weiand / Yunick intakes will work with the older heads plus the "newer" high port heads. I thought I read somewhere that the KB #1 will even work on the 225. I wonder why most of the old timers used a square bore carburetor instead...

No wonder why I can't find a KB #1, your friend has them all. I guess I have been shopping at the wrong places.

That what I thought. The opening on the intake is large with just a small platform to put a carb or adapter plate on. I heard the Weiand DID make adapter plates for the 7541 intake but I think getting one is "Good luck finding one". What did you use between the intake and the plate you made...

Sorry that you can't use it. I guess the other Weiand input is scarce also. Anyway, thanks for the heads up. Just asking, do you have a recommendation for a 4 hole adapter to use with the Q-Jet? The only one I can find online is the Edelbrock. I guess I would need to flip it over and grind a...

Water outlet is on the top. Inlet is on the front. It's the "Street" version, especially since there is an EGR valve on it instead of a blanking plate. The EGR is just a "bolt on - bolt off". I don't have the blanking plate for it nor do I have any adapter plates.

Okay; I finally received my copy of Pat Ganahl's book. I read the page that ek02 had so nicely scanned for me. As a matter of fact, I re-read it several times. I have come to the conclusions that I am not a very good grammar student, and maybe, just maybe, Pat could have chosen better wording...

Hmmm, some type of fuse deleted my post. Anyway, using my current block seems to be the easiest way to go. Finding the correct head gasket could be problematic, especially after doing a quick google on the HG part number that Pat refers to. I'll give it a shot and if I have major problems I'll...

Gold!!! Thank you very much. That is the Exact information I was looking for (but not the results). I really, really appreciate the effort you put into this. So, I think I'll get the 86 block and use that as my base build. That way I should be insured that any machine work done on the heads...

I don't know if I can or can't. That is my question, even part of the title of my original post. Do you know for sure that the 1254083 block will work, without hassle, with the high port heads (79+)? If you know, puulleez inform me. I have given the 4.1L some consideration, but as I mentioned...

Maybe I didn't clarify my intentions enough. I want to use a higher duration cam (either a 260H or 268H grind or maybe a custom grind), larger valves (1.770 I, 1.50 E), port & polish heads, port match, headers, single plane intake, 4BC, high compression pistons, upgrade stock oiling system, and...

There was a post earlier this year about the 1254083 block, but the answers really didin't cover my question or maybe the thread go a little sidetracked. Anyway, I have this block in a 71 Jeepster Commando. The engine is an Odd Fire (yes, it is an Odd Fire) and I would like to keep the Odd Fire...
