Hi Guys and Girls (???)
Cant remember???
can you slap 1.5 shim type heads (1.5) onto a 1.7 block???
rebulding my old engine (1.5) considering upgrading the cc.
Also.. how available are the parts to make a 1.6 l or upwards of a 1.7L
Hmmm..
Rich... p.s. are Federal Mogul Gaskets good??

I can't comment on how good the Federal Mogul gaskets are, but as they are the company behind Champion spark plugs, I doubt that they are rubbish.

As far as I know you fit the solid lifter cam boxes to the 1700 cc heads( bigger inlets etc) and the shorter solid lifter belts.
