CARB'S 32 to a 34 adf

If you want to interchange them you can but you are now modifying the engine so a bit of knowledge and engineering is needed but can be done

So I was right; they are not interchangeable. Anything can be done with modifications and engineering but that's not "interchangeable".

no worries the red fella is honest & wont sell you crap.

There is no benefit in fitting the head onto the 84mm bore block, smaller valves and ports negate any possible compression gain and the story that 1608 cams are better is an urban myth.

now please someone explain to me, how can a head from 1608ccm (80mm pistons) be fitted to any engine block with 84mm bore???
head from 1608ccm is shorter and spaces between bores in a 1608ccm block are smaller! just compare the headgaskets from 1608ccm and any other 1.6, 1.8 or 2.0 else and you'll see that 1608 block is shorter by at least 1cm

It will fit with some modifications. From Guy Crofts first book, head from "1608 124 sport" - "early - needs coolant gallery mods to fit 84mm bore engines".

even than combustion chambers will remain offset to cilinders. nuts!
