He used to terroize the import races because his engine block was a South American import. My memory is fuzzy, but I believe he used the American head on the South American block. If there are differences then you could feasably use an American head on a European block. Now, the accessory drives wouldn't match up but that can be solved with electricity.

Is anyone following me or did I just talk in a circle.
