I figured the heads would fit, but I didn't know anybody made the intake spacers, cool. The truck intakes are 4 bbl, but they are very big and heavy. Then they have a dual-thermostat housing with about a 2 1/2" water outlet and the by-pass outlet is about 1 1/2", so it would be hard to use the passenger water pump. I wonder if they make special pistons, or if you have to use the tall-deck 4 ring pistons. Regular 427 pistons would probably fit(same bore) but they wouldn't reach the top of the deck, unless the truck uses longer rods.
