4.0 /4.2 swapage questions

[Zorm]

Not doing a stroker yet, I am gonna wait till this 4.0 starts to die but a few questions.

1) I had a 4.0 head modified for my 258, the extra water pots welded and 3 angle valve grind. Can I put that head back on a 4.0 block with no problems?
2) Is there a bell housing I can use to go between the 4.0 block and my T176 that I can bolt the 4.0 starter to and either put the CPS in or have the bellhousing machined for the CPS?

You should be OK on the head, if it cooled on the 4.2 block then it will cool on the 4.0 block. You can get the mopar cps kit for an automatic transmission which moves it to the balancer. Tim

yes you can get the kit to move the cps to the balancer. LOTS of people do that. another option, if you are quite meticulous you can just mount your cps in the old bell, just have to get all the measurement crap right. takes a bit of monekying to do, but many have done it, some just drill a hole, some make a big hole and oval out the mounting bracket for a little adjustability. both ways work well, balancer or modding the bell.
