SWAPPING HEADS?!?!

Post by Gods Father »

ok so i have a 93 gs and the kid i bought it from said the guy he bought it from put the klze in it...which i highly doubt seeing as how the heads on it right now read K8 101 so im guessin its a K8 but even though im 99% sure it is i just wanna know if people actually swap heads off of K8s onto klze's cause i know a lot of parts are interchangeable...and if you were to do it...why??

hey either way its a running driving MX-3 for 200 bucks!!! :D

Noone does that, sounds like you got a k8 for sure. No worries, just swap a ze in. 200 bones is a good deal

It could be a KF-ZE they use the K8 heads as well.

Well a KFZE will be a 2L with a different Intake mani, it will have KF31-101 heads to IIRC. I doubt it is a KFZE, that motor is not really used that often, post a pic of the motor and we can confirm it is k8

u can pull the valve cover and look at CAM codes...
I still cant find anywhere in the shop manual where it says there should be a 1in hole in the side of the block. (Blown K8) #6 rod thrown through block.
