97 5.7L head casting#

[dolphin1]

I have a 1997 2655 with a mercruiser 5.7L 2bbl OK199098 The previous owner had it rebuilt and replaced a head.I'm putting a 4bbl on it and noticed the head ports were different. The casting #'s are 14102193 and the other is 14028217 which is the correct one? I also noticed it has a hyd roller cam, thought it was suppossed to have a hyd flat tappet.

Go to the link below, scroll down between 1/3 and 1/2 way down till you run in to SBC heads. Then compare your numbers.
