cylinder heads?

Post by kds19 »

is there any differences between the b200 and the b19 cylinder heads??
i have a b19 that im going to fit twin 40s to an have bought a k cam
but was thinking i may get a b200 head and build the 40s onto it and fit the cam and maybe get it skimmed and ported and polished
so is there any differences between the haeds that wont allow this idea to happen
also is there anywhere i can get other uprated head bits ie springs bigger valves or whatever?
wouldnt mind making my engine a screamer?
also what engine is it that has the thicker con rods b19,b200??? any particular year??
cheers

Yes, the B19 head is better... I think you'll have the 405 head (like my GLS) whereas the B200 will have the 530 head... I don't think theres huge differences but I think the 405 has bigger valves.

BTW, not to steal anything that kds wants but Adam you don't happen to want to let the cam cover go seperately do u?

will it be just the same head as the one on my 85 b19e?
