The head won't work- different exhaust outlets. Still, the rockers,
supports, etc. will work.
On a similar note- I've thought about putting later model heads on my
eldo if the eldo exhaust threads ever wear out. I don't forsee any
problems with this- are there any (exhaust pipe issues aside)?

Good plan, but one of the guys here is going to sell me a T3 head and
cylinder that is in good shape. Seems like a good plan given i have
stuck piston ring and a fair cylinder.

It sounds as if you might stick with the cylinders you have. In that
case I will reiterate what has already been said about keeping an eye on


the oil for chrome flakes. Obviously you do not want hard little flakes
of chrome riding around every journal in the engine.
