Do you still have it for sale? Thanks for any reply. Chad [Reply]  [No Email]

I would also put in 5000fT FIRE CRATER, (or other popup piston and sleeve kit) in it, and increasing the bore with thin sleeves. Jim [Reply]  [No Email]

Take them to a good head shop. The guys there will say go or no go. I had three magnafluxed and they had small cracks. I had a fourth one done at a different shop. It had small cracks. He told me he had rebuilt at least 10 heads with worse cracks and they were all still running well. I do have an H head that is not cracked that I wouls sell if it will fit [Reply]  [No Email]

To have about the same power use a cast # 8043DC gasoline head if you don't find a SH 8043DD head. 300 and 350 heads work but all won't have the opening for a vent suction line in the head casting rear. They used a vent line out of the valve cover. No problem to get the valve cover with the head and use PVC hose from it to air cleaner inlet pipe. [Reply]  [No Email]

It is the same as a regular gas only H. You would loose efficiency and 5 to 8% Horse power with a distillate head. Flat top pistons can be replaced with domed pistons (originally for higher altitude) that will perk it up. Jim [Reply]  [No Email]
