To return to the OP's purpose in starting this thread (above), this writer is of the opinion that the cylinder head that the OP has located, which will provide the SLS pump drive, is a satisfactory replacement for the present non-SLS, NA cylinder head.
- There are no physical constraints which would preclude the use of the SLS-turbo head on the lower end of the NA engine.
- The flame tubes of the prechambers in the turbo head have a 1mm larger bore than those of the NA head. It has been hypothesized that that distinction will cause a loss of performance. The hypothesis remains just that; a hypothesis without support.
