I *Was Not* kidding when I said the it *Will Not* work on an 83 block. AS SOON as you even think about turning it over, the domed donuts on your 83 pistons will try to shove the head off the block, resulting in the need of very most likely another new head, new pistons, probably new rods, maybe a new crank, and if you're really unlucky a new block..

*****DO NOT PUT THAT 85 HEAD ON AN 83 BLOCK WITH THE DOME TOP PISTONS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY*****
