cylinder head interchange - possible future project

Fordfarmer · Sep 2, 2017

Long story short... 7600 Blue Power Special (268 turbo) is missing the head, and is priced right. I have a 256 or 268(not sure - haven't opened it yet) naturally aspirated from a series 10 that I bought a while back as a rebuildable core. Aside from the valve face angle, are there differences between the NA and turbo heads? (ie, will the head from that core work on the 7600's block?)
Thanks.

I can't imagine it wouldn't work, given the head bolt diameter is the same. And that is a function of build date, not how it breathes.

Thanks.
That's kinda what I was thinking. I can't remember offhand when the head bolts got bigger, but it should be obvious when I open up the potential donor.
I'll probably go look at the 7600 in 3-4 days.
