    We're looking at finally getting some BAE 5 heads to replace our old beat up BAE 4's. I have a couple questions.

    - Do the valve covers from a BAE 4 head fit on the 5's?

    - Do the rockers and rocker stands from at BAE 4 fit the 5’s?

    Also, is there anything else that we may run into other than headers that will be different???

    Thanks!

    Thanks Lee,

    I was originally told the header flanges had the ports in a different location (higher or lower I can't remember). We actually got some flanges sent up from Brad and they do look different than our current ones. If they're the same then that’s even better, we still need to build another set of headers anyways and needed flanges. Just means we'll have an extra set of headers which I suppose is probably a good idea anyway.

    One more question to all of you - do these heads want more or less fuel than the 4's?

    The chamber is smaller on the stage-5, (about 10cc.)

    Because of the raised exh. port the hearders from fours will bolt on the 5's but the ports in flange will not match up. I have both fours and fives and have to have headers for each.
    Everything else is interchangable.

    IF i remember correctly the header pattern on both heads are the same but the angle is different.
