I have a spitfire head on my 251 (rebuilt as 265) It looks cool, but the head has the same volume as the standard head, based upon my cramming modeling clay into both. There seems to be no difference other than the cast name and lightning bolts. I don't think the spitfire was necessarily a 265, as the one that provided my head was a 251. The conversion used different crank and rods, all else the same. Rob
