The bolt pattern on the Ryan Falconer head is different and some go into thin parts of the block. It will need to be sleeved so I cant bolt the plate on. Furnace welding is actually brazing the plate on and it's done in an oven over an extended period of time. I think they put a layer of brass or bronze between the 2 pieces and bake and press them together. I'm not sure. Ryan Falconer told me about it and said that's how I should do it. Ryan and his son Erik have helped me a lot. I'll let you know when I find somebody to do it. I'm just starting on my chassis so I have some time.
