Re: Cylinder spacing on 4.0 block
Isn't that the same bore spacing as a SB Ford?
runs to drop a pair of Dart Windsor heads on the band saw to create the awesomest 4.0 crossflow head.

Head bolts don't line up.

Re: Cylinder spacing on 4.0 block
Maybe you could buy the heads directly from Dart and ask them not to drill the head bolt holes. A welder does wonders with an aluminum head.
I wonder if they kept the same spacing with the OHC motors?

Re: Cylinder spacing on 4.0 block
ooo... OHC would be interesting... probably start running into limits on the strength of the block and parts there....

Re: Cylinder spacing on 4.0 block
The Ford modular engines use a 100mm cylinder spacing, that is less than 4 inches. I wonder what the spacing is on the Chevy (4.3?) inline 6 they use in the trailblazers, that is an OHC motor.
