Lets think about this though... Some E motors have higher compression pistons. And if you just swapped the head, you wouldn't have to redo the PS and AC. Hmmm....

You may run into problems with the timing chains.

Actually the PS couldnt work because of the intake manifold on the dohc.
But who cares.....
