One of the blueprint things you can do is verify that the cylinder head is centered on the cylinder by mounting the head on the block with no crankshaft or pistons and rods in it and mark the cylinder diameter against the combustion chamber and then decide if you need to or want to move the head around on the cylinders (all four on that bank ) Castings vary Let us know what you find Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

Like I am building. 2.25 intake on a 4.35 bore. Realisticaly you might pick up a few CFM of flow. if anything.... it wont hurt, for $12
