560D,

Early heads had small valves ,but can
be changed to larger by machine shop ,I have
done it.

Early blocks have light press sleeves (flange
type ),later ones have heavy press ( no flange,
but have flare at top ) worst idea IH had. It
can be converted to early style by honing .001
out of the block and machining a counterbore
in the block . have done several.Blocks and
heads all interchange.

check the part number at the end of the head part no there is R1, R2 etc, some have a pair of holes drilled for guide dowels, some don't. Don't ask me how I know this.
