Re: Would a B21/23 head fit on a B20? 120-130

posted by  someone claiming to be Pete Fluitman on  Thu May 17 12:57 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Never tried but why bother? The B21/B23 generation of engine is a development of the earlier engines and the blocks are very similar. However say an overhead cam head were to fit the earlier block, what about the waterpump, or distributor and oil pump drive from the camshaft.

If you want this head in an Amazon or 1800 fit the whole shooting match. Canted over engine, bellhousing and appropriate gearbox. It can be done, I've seen one in an 1800ES. The turbo am told is very difficult. I reckon the whole engine gearbox route would be much easier than re-engineering the the engine.

Regards
