So I got my vp head,
cr tubes are longer from tip to o ring, also the alignment pin gives some grief but I believe they could be machined to work.
Yes I am avoiding the intake clearance issue, I don't want to patch it up or mill it off. I was given 800 for the
cr head and got a really nice vp head for 200 so figure why not. I drilled the steam holes and opened up the one coolant passage and it's good to go, headed to the machine shop to get decked tomorrow. Oh and the reason I wanted to use
cr tubes in the vp head is I already had a set of p pump to
cr lines and didn't want to buy another set lol
