If a Ford 1400 CVH cylinder head will fit on 1600 sub assembly what management mods do you have to fuel it?

The Ford CVH engine is a crossflow design, which means that the intake and exhaust ports are on opposite sides of the cylinder head. The 1400 CVH and 1600 CVH engines have different port sizes and shapes, so the cylinder head from a 1400 CVH will not fit directly onto a 1600 CVH sub-assembly.

In order to fit a 1400 CVH cylinder head onto a 1600 CVH sub-assembly, you will need to make some modifications to the intake and exhaust manifolds. You will also need to use a different carburetor or fuel injection system that is compatible with the 1400 CVH cylinder head.

Here are some of the specific modifications that you will need to make:

* The intake manifold will need to be modified to match the port sizes and shapes of the 1400 CVH cylinder head.

* The exhaust manifold will need to be modified to match the port sizes and shapes of the 1400 CVH cylinder head.

* The carburetor or fuel injection system will need to be changed to one that is compatible with the 1400 CVH cylinder head.

Once you have made these modifications, you will be able to install the 1400 CVH cylinder head onto the 1600 CVH sub-assembly. This will give you a higher compression ratio and more power, but it will also require you to use a higher octane fuel.
