8060 vs 400gas head

lilmackinawfarmall · Feb 2, 2009

have a cracked head on super M have a neighbor that just had his 400 head redone before it blew...now if i got this head any real benefit and what if anything needs to be done to bolt it up directly?

If the head # is 362173 the combustion chamber is not as deep and shaped a little different than a 8060 DC. 362173 will give you more compression.
400 head doesn't use the ventilation pipe over rocker arms or have the hole in back of head for pipe to air cleaner like you SM head. Just use the pipe thats in 400 head, 400 valve cover and rig up ventilation pipe from valve cover to air cleaner. Rest is straight bolt on. Clearance on most pistons to head or valves won't be a problem, but always pays to check.

Checked my memory and its not to good the head # in previous post should be 372174 R1 instead of 362173.

DSLATER I'm not here to criticize you but you still have the numbers fliped. the 450 head is 362174 and a late super m or 400 head could be an 8574 I'm getting old also. good luck Gene

Thanks for pointing out the mistake on #. Since he mentioned 8060 head, I just figured he had looked and thats what he had. Think I'm going to have to look at what I type better.
