James there is still confusion.

I agree that the G and J are what you want for a motorhome.
The G and J heads have a 2.000 intake and a 1.625 exhaust, except the marine G had a 2.070 intake.

However the 1973 and 1976 Ka had a 2.070 intake but the 74, 75 has the same as the J and G heads, 2.000.
And the Ka DOES HAVE hardened seats. The Ka has a 79cc combustion chamber which is the same as the J while the G has a 80cc chamber.
