will a big bore head fit on a small bore engine? hey, will a big bore head fit on a small 3.9" bore engine. i see thunder racing's 383 running trickflow 225's, how does this work, because all the trickflows 225 and up are for the bigger bore. or did they start with a ls2 block and only stroke it to 383?
thanks, curt

well if the bolts line up and the vavles dont hit the block you can run any head on a engine . might not be i deal but will work.
hell ive notched block (think micky mouse ears )so the vavles will clear the block. you can google it for unshouding the valves

you can order different valves sizes to suite your needs.on a ls1 bore 2.02 in and 1.6 ex are the best fit ,any thing bigger will fit but will hurt flow and power.if the valve is too close to the cylinder wall it effect and hurts port flow.

I was wondering the same thing I bought some trick flow 220 as cast for a ls2 with a 4.0 bore.Will these work on a ls1?I got them cheap.I got the 6 litre head gaskets.
