i think i might buy it anyway and try it. then if it doesnt fit ill buy the bottom end aswell
adam

not sure ,
some say yes some say no !
why not buy the whole lot in one go,
then if it does not fit you have the lot to change over if needed
let me know if it does fit !


cheers paul

The heads are different, but I believe they'll both fit the same blocks. The blacktop head uses solid followers and shims, whereas the silvertop is hydraulic.

The headgaskets are the same, which means that they'll at least physically bolt together.
