Kendall:
Your later cylinder head will fit on the earlier block without
modifications. Probably the easiest way to go. The later intake manifold is
superior in terms of its power potential anyway. Before you strap the later
head on, consider having it shaved 0.120" or so and then use the earlier
pushrods. That will get your compression up to about 9.5:1, get you about 10HP
with slightly better fuel economy.
Cheers,

Hi List,
A bit ago I was on here asking where I could find a crankshaft to
replace the badly damaged one in my 74 TR6. I found a few in the $250 range
that would have worked ok.
<snip>
There are a few possible
courses of action. I'd like your thoughts if you're in the mood to share...
1.) Have a down pipe made up / modified to fit the old manifold single pipe
exhaust to my dual exhaust.
2.) Put my 74 head on the 1970 block and run it
like that. Will this work?
3.) Pull the crank and finish building my original
engine properly. Then part out the rest of the 1970 engine.
4.) Amazing ideas
I haven't thought of yet?
