Yippers .
I almost bought a 256 engine just to have the 4 round tappet cover head....then I realized the shitty amount of work to make it work...need 447 cases as the front engine mount casting is different and won't work in later frames. Can't use the head on 447 jugs due to head gasket surface differences. Thought to myself. ..why not throw the jugs and head on my 447 cases....Cam chain tensioner won't work with 447 cam chain....new 447 rods on that crank is the only good way to do it. So I said screw it. Ha.
