I have a 1944 H with a cracked 8776D head. I have located a 361479-R1 head for sale. From what I have read here, the head will work. Which pistons would be best to use with the 361479-R1 head and will I have any valve train problems with the change over?
 
Yes it will work with the H block. REally just about any off the shelf piston for the H will work.

will the stepped head piston clear if I run that head and will it make that much difference on compression? I"m not going to use it for pulling but just want a good dependable runner.
 
Yes you can run a stepped or domed head piston and it will not hit. You will gain around a point to a point in a half with that set up. or about 4-8 more hp.

Thanks Andrew,and one more question. I know the distillate head had shorter valves and I assume the gas head has longer valves. Is there anything to worry about for adjusting the valve clearance? different length push rods?
 
Also head 361479R1 has no place in back for the ventalation line to the air cleaner so try to get the valve cover with the head. Run a PCV hose from valve cover opening to the air cleaner.
362479R1 doesn't use the vent line over the rocker arms, just a short pipe in the front hole that the over rockers line went to.
