There was a thread on a while back about fitting a dx head to an ex block. I was wondering if the exhaust and inlet from the ex would still fit? And run on carb?
Thanks for any help :)

Yep and yep
You will need to block up the injector holes on the back of the head tho. Alex (risocco) has done this to his engine if i remember

Re: fitting a dx head to an ex block
I saw a thread somewhere about this (caddy with a dx and twin 40's springs to mind for some reason lol)... I think he put 1p pieces under the injector collars in the head to block them off.
Did that dizzy solve your problems Ben?

Re: fitting a dx head to an ex block
Is there a good reason to use a carb on the DX head ?
I would be getting the injection kit of bits and putting them on = more power and more MPG - unless you are planning twin 40's or similar of course.
Just my two pence worth ;)
