One I can think of off-hand is Richard-screen name Barefoot. He's gone from na dohc to awd 16g's and such. I will be doing one (or rather finishig one) soon, but haven't started on that project yet. BTW, if I'm correct, its Rolland, right? Applebees3/s FTW lol! Shoot me a pm and let me know how ya been. And then again, if I'm wrong, you'll read this post with a WTF look on your face  |
The block and heads are physically the same, as in how the bolt up. As in NA heads will bolt up to a TT block and the other way around. Yes there are differences internally between the blocks and heads. Rods are the same, pistons are different due to different CR's between the two, and obviously the TT heads flow more than NA, none of which did i deny. However, in relation to his answer, yes the will physically bolt up with each other...

Well the bracket that mounts up to the engine is different yes, but the motor mount itself is the same. Sorry should've specified.
