It'll take a little welding and grinding to get it to work, my friend told me that the reason why he removed it was the intake valves were hitting the head, which you can see in the combustion chamber pic. It looks like there's enough metal to shave enough off of the inside of the chamber to get the clearance needed. There's also a little corrosion around a couple of the water passages that will need welded up, so we'll see if I can even use it. If not, then it's back to a stock cast iron head. Judging by the looks of it, I think I can use it. We'll see!
