Will the inlet manifold and induction pipework on the car (for blacktop head) fit the mk2 head? Any bits that wont fit? that I will need to get off a breaker?

Race car was running a black top mk1 head have now built up a new engine which has got a silver top head, getting the engine back next week to fit want to have all the bits ready.

Inlet manifold is different, different spacing.
induction pipe work should be very similar if not the same, so this should be able to be made to fit.

Just out of curiosity, how come you're ditching the black top? With the rollers and softer springs the silvertop isnt going to be quite as up to the job as a blacktop.

only ditching it as it melted piston 3 and the head last time out.
