Thanks for the reply.. Are the timing covers / chain the same? Do they make an intake for W8 heads that will work on the tall deck block? If not who would be a good resource to make spacers?



Timing chain is the same. You must have a modified or short deck timing cover now. A stock one will work with the 9.6 deck block. So that is no big deal.

This is pretty simple everthing is the same except the deck on the block. So intake manifold has to be wider, valley pan has to be wider. Pushrods have to be .600" longer if you run the same lifter and camshaft base circle. The timing cover or belt drive plate will have to be taller. It is really pretty simple.
