I would have used the 8BA heads except that I already had a carefully prepared set of Edmunds finned aluminum units.

Yeah seems pretty straight forward now that I have everything apart. I did have to change the oil pick up though.
The only thing I’m still wonder is if the crank pulley will fit. They are two different size belts so it does need to change.
