86 block 73 top end
Hey guys,
I have a full top end(heads, intake, manifolds) from a 1973 460 truck motor. I can get a pretty good 460 short block (I'm going to rebuild the short block if I get it) from a 1986 truck. What kind of issues would I be looking at to try and use the 73 top end on an '86 block?
I'm thinking deck clearance on the block could possibly be an issue.
