February 8, 201015 yr comment_308983 You could probably get one out of an engine that wasn't just running for $100 or $150. The question should be how many miles are on it. If it needs a valve job because it has 80K miles, you might as well start with a cheaper one.

February 8, 201015 yr comment_308987 Those are some big questions. I would suggest you take some time and search and read, search and read. And when you've done that for about a week, do a little more searching and reading. Try searching hybridz.org too. Lots of good info about heads over there. $250 for a head with 160K on it is too much in my opinion.

February 8, 201015 yr comment_308988 Where would you get the pistons to make that combo work? There is a 5.3 mm difference in stroke as well as a 3 mm bore difference between the two engines. Jon is right...you need more research. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/34692-n42-head/#findComment-308988 Share on other sites More sharing options...

February 8, 201015 yr comment_308994 Don't forget about the bronze valve seats depending on what year it came out of. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/34692-n42-head/#findComment-308994 Share on other sites More sharing options...
February 8, 201015 yr Author comment_308995 it came out of 1976..they said the block N42 also is good to use on stroker motor..due to thicker better metal than F54 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/34692-n42-head/#findComment-308995 Share on other sites More sharing options...
