Who really knows the B6 and BP

Post by Phat93Mx3 »

Okay check it out...I work for a speed shop here in central VA...long story short we we're cleaning out the "junk trailer" and among all the carbs and big blocks/small blocks there was this little head, off in the corner... I instantly noticed it was a DOHC...(I have a 93 SOHC by the way) So I figured what the hey, I wonder what it is...Much to my suprise in big lettering all over that puppy was "BP 05".....Now I'm somewhat familiar with the BPT swaps but from what I understand the BP head is actually stronger than the BPT head....SO ANYWAYS NOW TO MY QUESTION...Would a BP head fit a B6 block? I know doing the traditional BP swap would make more sense but I found this puppy yesterday and I can't stop thinking...."will it fit, will it??" so if anybody has a clue please inform me....thanks and sorry for the story...lol

the bp head will not fit the b6 block as the bp motors are physically longer.

The BP is a stretched version of a b6 i think its like 22mm longer. Not 100% sure on that my memory is foggy.

Thanks guys for the 411 on that... So essentially if I got my hands on a BP block the head would then serve a purpose....but what about the tranny? Wouldn't I need a Pro Lx tranny for best results? I just have a hard time throwin this thing away... :shrug:
