O-ring blocks have taller decks to achieve correct squish clearance being the head is sitting directly on block (piston not coming all the flush to top). The use of a gasket will give you excessive squish clearance. Some machining can be done to make it possible, but not a direct bolt on.
Forbes is dead on , the mach shop guy that's knows what he doin can cut block for gaskets but other than that u cant run em
How does the 200 efi o-ring motor compare to a FF 200 efi. Power-reliability-fuel.Quote:

Put switchboxes on it and you’ll be surprised at the improvement in holeshot
