145 Head on 135 Block?

[Chuckha62]

As the title suggests, can an F-145 head be run on a 135 Block? Obviously, the intake and exhaust ports are different and the manifolds will not interchange. Do the water passages align? Oil drain back? Bolt holes? I suspect the 145 head will raise compression, but given how low the 135 compression ratio is, it could only offer a performance increase, right?

Thoughts?

It can be done. There is a thread on here. Could be ten years back, but I remember contributing to the discussion.

I’d rather not repeat myself when we have a really good search function.

Define “really good”. I searched before posting. But I definitely will again.
