B21F head on B230FT?

[chirish1234]

Okay. I had to sell the two heads for a 530 I had. I have a B21F head off a 1980 244DL and was wondering how well it would work? Also planning on running a b21F intake which would make it easier since I can put the EFI injectors in the head.

Thanks,
Nick

Yep works

Well I haven't personally done it but I have read many times it works

YEs, but how well lol. It's going on a 1992 B230FT block with a fresh rebuild. H-beam rods, bored 60 over. new bearings and going to be abused. I'm wondering how much the compression ratio will be upped as well

They will bolt on. If you're running EFI, then you get around all the issues with a 2.3 k-jet setup.

it will work just fine, just make sure you get a small coolant port head, not a big coolant port head

Unless you are running K-jet it isn't going to make it easier.

awesome, but which coolant ports are you talking about? I've never noticed a difference. It's from a 1980 B21F[/I]

Yes it will, because I'm running a B21F manifold. So instead of modifying the manifold I will be modifying the Kjet injector holders and running EFI injectors in there instead.

Take a pic of the head surface and send it to me

I have done what you have planned for the fuel injection on my B21, it should work on the bigger bore, it's only 4 mm total difference in the bores, so 2mm larger on the edge of the hole. Just use a B230 head gasket.
