Roger,
I believe that the 260 and 289 heads are very close together, although the later
ones had a larger exhaust valve. The REAL question you should be asking is
whether the even larger exhaust valves of the aluminum heads will hit the
piston,
with what maximum lift cam. And all these aluminum heads are reputedly thicker
than the iron originals. So, what is your clearance on the inside rear valve
cover and the fire wall?
