Have some more questions for you guys

[texas_rat_trap]

I have 2 questions:
1. Anybody know if a 223cid piston .040" over will fit in a virgin 215cid engine?
2. Will a 61'-64' 223cid cylinder head interchange with a 215cid without modification?
Just tryin'n to make do with what I have.............

Standard Bore Diameters:

215 = 3.560"
223 = 3.625"

If I'm not mistaken, the later 223 engines used 1/2" head bolts, and the early engines used 7/16" head bolts. That's probably not much of a problem, but you may have to pay a little more attention to the head's alignment during installation. Maybe some bushings could be pressed into the 1/2" bolt holes to take up the extra clearance around the 7/16" bolts?
