nope-
you need to make some spacers out of iron pipe, tho. your pipes slide
into the heads, the spacers go on, and the flange bolts up, pushing
against the spacer, which pushes on the pipe flange, keeping everything
nice and tight. did that on my eldo while the origional heads were
getting new valve guides.

The head won't work- different exhaust outlets. Still, the rockers,
supports, etc. will work.
On a similar note- I've thought about putting later model heads on my
eldo if the eldo exhaust threads ever wear out. I don't forsee any
problems with this- are there any (exhaust pipe issues aside)?

case I will reiterate what has already been said about keeping an eye on
the oil for chrome flakes. Obviously you do not want hard little flakes
of chrome riding around every journal in the engine.
