I have a spare stock engine, since I have had the problems with the engine I'm building etc, can I bolt my head, which is .100 shaved, onto the stock engine? and also can I put my 4 barrel and headers on it? I don't have a one or two barrel. I am putting this in my dart for the mean time til my other engine is done.

What issue with drivability? I can get shorter PR, but I don't believe I need those for .100 off the head. I think there is enough adjustment there. Can anyone verify this?

Depends on the cam. If it is a reduced base circle your pushrods will probably be OK. If it is a stock cam they may be too long.

Sooooo, the only correct answer is you will have to check when you install the head. :D

As far as installing a "rebuilt" head on a used engine, is that ok?

So long as the bottom end isn't on its last legs it will be fine.

Will it be fine with the four barrel since it really isn't a "hopped up" engine?

Maybe. Depends on how good you are at tuning. I put a ported big valve head on my stock '67 engine with a Holley 390 on an Offy intake. Worked fine.
