So my engine blew a head gasket. it ended up warping the head and i took it to carquest to be milled. they ended up shaving off so much that the valves were hanging open. so I junked the head and went to the junkyard. ended up pulling a 80 mustang D8 with push rods. being as wary as i was about milling decied to ignore the posts about low compression and just bolted everything together at stock hight using a felpro gasket. Well then i figured out the intake hole on the d8 is bigger. not wanting to mess with swapping to another carburator being as i would then have to change ignition system too. so I thought about it and figured out that if I were to slot an ear on the 1100 it would work as long as i used a washer. i used an egr spacer from a 250 and took off the air pump thingy and was left with the two egr holes i plugged those and used the bolt holes for the air module to mount my linkage. its been three months and the engine runs great i use 87 sometimes 89 octaine and its great. other then choke problems wich i remedied with a choke cable
Stragely my compression is fine even without milling the head or decking the block
