    Head Swap?

    I have heard that you can swap the b18 or b20 head onto our cars...is this true?

    It is absolutely not true. The "A" blocks are not compatible with any other heads. I'm curious though; where did you hear this?

    sorry, not gonna happen even if you get a wizard to do it for ya. if you want the head then your gonna have to do a full engine swap, and if u do feel the need to do it b20 would be better. boosted crv-tec is jus soo sweet. but theres nothin wrong with the a20 its a hell of an engine, u just might want to keep it.

    sorry, had to.



    and even if you could, parts to build up the bottom end are not always available let alone cheap, your probably better off just swaping to b series or h if you have knowledge+time.

    i think i can bolt a20a head onto a b20a block, but io said bolt cause the head studs are the same layout, no ideas whether the cylinders/water./oil will line up haha
