You can't move the cyinders to an 038 or 026... each is unique..
If the cylinders are o.k., you re-ring or piston them..

somebum,

Just to make sure I read your post right, your 038 and 026 are both running fine and your wanting to know if the 460 p/c will bolt up to the 044 (right?)

I read it as he wants to put the 046 onto the 044, the 044 onto the 038 and the 038 onto the 026... Hmmm....

Takes some work, but it can be done. Just did it on my 044.
