Hey guys, I searched and googled but have not had any luck.
Is there much difference between a 1750 and 2000 head?
If so can you visually see the difference, like you can between a spica and a bosch?
And I guess while I am thinking what about the cams can a core 1750 be ground for a 2000 or vice versa.

2000 valves are bigger and bores are on different centers, so there is some misalignment if you try to use one on the other.

Thanks Andrew. Is there any marking that you can determine between a 1750 and 2000?

On the front of the head as described here:

Cylinder Head/Engine Displacement recognition

Thanks Aggie57 and papajam.

I knew there had to be some Divincian type coding.

Neat thread.

I have a Sperry ported 2L head that I was hoping to use on a 1750 block. Is there any way to get the bore centers to line up? I thouhtt I had heard of others doing this before.

I had planned to keep the 1750 exhaust valves stock (37mm) or get the upgraded 38mm and try to get the intake valves as large as possible via the performance upgrade (42.5mm).

Any thoughts at all would be greatly appreciated on if I could acomplish this?

no, it won't fit and is not worth stuffing it up to make it so

just sell the head to somebody with a 2.0 and build a 1.8 head for your engine - that will be cheaper and better

if you simply must use this head, fit it to a 2.0 block and don't tell anybody
