Ive been told that the F head block can be used in place of the L head with some mods. Is this true?
ANSWER 1: The F-head is a different animal than the L-head. By most accounts the F-head won’t fit in a low-hood flat fender without cutting a hole in the hood or putting on a body lift. ANSWER 2: Using a carburetor from an early Ford Falcon (144cid engine) will provide clearance for the hood to close without cutting a hole in it. A low profile air cleaner is required though.
