predator clone 212 block ?

[bagger]

Can anyone tell me if there is a difference in the hemi, vs non-hemi block? I think there is a difference in the side cover in the cam bearing.

Yes , the hemi cam journals are sized same as a 196 clone cam . The flywheel also has the same taper as a 196 clone .
Head dowel pins are slighty different, bigger or smaller can't remember which way .
Interchanging pistons also creates differences in piston height .
All laid out in predator section .
