The ports on the heads are different. The n/a block is missing the oil squirters AND the girdle stay brackets. The cheapest way to do a conversion is to buy a crappy vr4, use all the parts you need, and then sell the rest. Most of the time you can do it for free if you do the work yourself.

God, thank you matt. I hadn't checked back. I didn't realize the cranks were the same, as someone posted, altho I thot they were different. I thot I understood somewhere along the line that NA rods are different, as in weaker. I'm thinking this is from way back when chris was first doing T2 on his own, or maybe right after going to 3sx.
Anyway, the point that the heads MAY bolt up to a tt block or vise versa, is fuking stupid. There is absolutely no reason that would make sense for what he is looking to do. I'm sure 2.8L chevy v6 heads might bolt up to a 3.8L v6 chevy, but they arent doing anything in that condition. If there's some info you wanna pass along, thats fine, but make sure it isn't in an assbackwards direction, just to show you know something.
I'm not sure if this was intentional, or unintentional, but the way some of the posts were made, you'd be putting pistons thru heads and other assorted stupidity.
Best of luck on the swap and/or conversion
