B23 head on a B21? 200

posted by  someone claiming to be tony66_au on  Tue Aug 30 03:51 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Question

Can I use a B23 (Blacktop) head on a B21 engine?
Im assuming it will give me higher compression but will it fit and what am I likely to experience.

Heres the drum,
After a brief period of Volvo Abstinence Ive bought an 82 245 Manual.
It has a cracked head (Summised by the water that pours into the combustion chamber when the car sits still so Im guessing its not just a gasket)

I also have a 79 245 auto, poor body with a late B23 in good nick and I would like to have a play without having to bugger around swapping complete engines hence the head swap idea.

Cheers,

Tony
