Good point about valve clearance, I did not consider that.

A 915 head never milled is frequently about 84 CCs, theoretically a .062" cut would bring it to 74CCs. A 906 head never milled is frequently about 88 CCs, theoretically a .058" cut would bring it to 74 CCs so your valve to piston clearance would be similar but could go either way depending on the casting. A nice set of 915 heads will cost 500 and up, 906 heads are like grass, they are everywhere and can be had for nothing sometimes.

Thanks for that information, this sounds like it may work.
