The integral head is not considered. The combustion chamber CCs change a bit, there is a list on inliners.org The exception is the 194 head. The combustion chamber in the 194 is IIRC 62-64 it will bump your compression a bit. I've also read there is no other advantages.I have a collection of heads if your interested in looking at them send me a PM.

The exhaust valves are sodium filled & have rotaters on them. Through the years they have been switched around so one might have the lighter duty valves. The large opening straight down ex. manifold was used on the 1 1/2 ton & larger trucks. The 1 ton & smaller ex. manifold was near the same as the smaller engines.
