I don't think the bottom would work with sporty cylinders as there is no provisions for a fan/ fan tower. The sporty cylinders would probably run too hot as they were designed for a different source of cooling then the free airs.

i guess what i was thinking was that these cylinders would work on the sport bottom end and offer an upgrade in performance with more aggressive porting and the dual carb flanges also wandered about the dual plug heads being used in a fan situation with some mods dont know maybe barking up the wrong tree here ?? wade

Wade,

"I think" those cases would accept a Sporty fan tower and such, by removing the 4 bolts that hold the flywheel cover on. The cranks are about the same, but Deere used larger lower rod bearings. Not sure about the top. Base gaskets on all T-7's are the same and Sport jugs will bolt right on to that bottom end.

I hope this helps,
-Joe
