<div>If your going to go down that path and throw away all the parts from the
block acquire a new head etc. why </div>
<div>don’t you bight the bullet and acquire both an alloy block and head from
DMD Australia parts from the </div>

<div> </div>
<div>Then you would have something really special I believe there have been a

<div>happy to provide you with references.</div>

<div>Good luck whatever you decide to do. The DMD engines are pretty special

<div dir="ltr">A westy block is identical to a later motor, the only difference is
the head. If you want to convert, you need to get a new head.
Honestly, for most levels or road tune, there isn't a huge amount of difference
and one nice thing about the westy head is it is less thirsty with the fuel, and
if I recall there isn't much penalty on torque, most of the penalty is over
3,000 rpm, which for a road car really doesn't matter much.</div>
