You will need to notch pistons with the 185 heads.

Thanks for the info. I new I should have went with Twisted Wedge heads!
I didn't want to get too involved with this motor. I just wanted to slap a H/C/I combo on the shortblock to play around with. I am going to buy a 393 shortblock this summer so I don't want to invest much into the stock timebomb shortblock. |
