Don't give up , if it is an 'itch' that you just have to scratch !

The fellow who made the great chev four head to A block, died a number of years ago. His creations are sometimes available at swap meets. I've passed on several at Bakersfield. He made a steel plate which made the job easy ! Having had / owned the 4 cyl chev...I would pass for the minimal gain, IMO. But it is an option, eh.

I cannot think of the members name, right now, but he is/was on the model A side of Fordbarn. He is a VERY smart engineer type A/B builder for self use.

He used a modern V8 head and modified it for use on his model A engines. Made all/everything himself on lathe ! Powerful builds that he raced hill climbs ! Amazing talented guy.

You might want to ask there. If his threads still exist, you will learn a LOT. He was not shy at posting pictures of his work...how to, and answering Qs.

I'm losing memory and cannot think of these two guys names....
