It may work with what u have, block wise ,but u may need all the rest of the goodies.
Yep you are 100% correct about that i totally forgot about it!!!!
I pulled those heads before i could ever do anything with them the compression was through the roof. i didnt have any problems with temp though....but i can see where there would have been i mean they were ony ran for a total of maybe 20 minutes to a half hour when i realized it was way too much comp, i mean it was pre-igniting at idle. but yeah that reverse cooling issue would have become a problem, thats why the front cooling passages on the heads were blocked off thats the only thing i saw that was different though. Whatever i wouldnt use them anymore anyway.
Good looking out shawnlee!!!!!
