Re: 1.8L head 2L block? Mixing Hydro + Solid Lifter Parts

["Wm. Josiah Erikson" <josiah@gsinet.net>]

A hydraulic lifter engine is purely a head issue. Doesn't have anything to do
with the block. You can put a solid lifter head on a block that originally came
with a hydro lifter head, no problem, assuming that they bolt up, etc (I mean,
obviously you can't put a JH head on a 200T engine.. hehe)
