202 Head on 179

Hi all,
I've just been given a yella terra head and hot cam for a 202 & I was wondering if it would fit a 179. I've a fair idea it won't but have not taken all that much interest in the notion until now. Because you see, I've also got a big bugger 2 barrel Weber on a great looking manifold to bolt onto it.
I have a vague recollection this topic was discussed before, but I've just spent ages searching for it without any luck. If someone can remind me where it was on this forum, or if they know the answer, I'd be most gratefull.
cheers,
Leigh

this has been posted in this part of the forum before, but the short answer is if its a red 202 head it will bolt straight on, if it is a blue 202 (12 port) head it will fit but there is a minor modification that has to be done to the water jacket (can't remember whether it's the water jacket on the block or on the had that has to be modified)
Cheers

Check out Yella Terras website, under heads it tells you what mods are required to fit heads to different motors.
Hole sizes where to drill etc.

had my 179 HP block re-con'd bout a year ago and had a hard time finding a 186 head to replace the existing.
from memory
I ended up going for a 202 head with harded valve seats to run ULP. pretty straight forward swap.
if thats any help.

Thanks for the info guys.
I'll stick it on & hopefully will get some performance. I've just got to contact a cam shop & find out what sort of hot cam I have before installing that. It'll have an auto behind it, so don't want it too lumpy.
cheers,

With the 202 head on a 179, you may want to check how the compression is going to end up. The performance gain may be negated by the comp drop, or you could add one of those dinky-di $300 Jap blowers!
