I would like to get my hands on a cast iron head if it will bolt on.
Does anyone know? What, if anything, needs to be modified and where can
I get one?

Folks, believe me, you do NOT want a cast iron head, unless you
plan to figure out a way to turbocharge your Alpine. I have the cast 1725
head off my Sunbeam camper, and let me tell you, the ports are SMALL!!!! NOT
the best thing for performance! Add to that, the fact that you have to use a
camshaft for a cast-head engine, and you wind up with a 60 hp Alpine.
I did just the reverse. My camper now has an Alpine head and SerV
cam, and a SerIV GT intake with a 2bbl Weber. She'll be up and running this
spring. I'll let you know how it goes!
