3. I'm sure someone swapping to a TT engine would not care if NA parts work on the TT engine if it means a performance "DROP" and that said people responding (I thought would) should assume that I or my friend wouldn't want to put NA heads on a TT block if they do not FLOW as good as the TT heads do. So please if there's a performance drop or "strength issue" using NA parts on the TT engine setup I or my friend would not want to use those parts or know about it. When I ask what NA stuff can be used on the TT engine I'm asking about stuff that can move over without concern and with the intent that it will perform the same exact task the same way. If not then its of no use.
The main thing I was hoping to accomplish with this thread was really a "swap list" in LIST form, but I'm not even sure which of you guys is right vs wrong and while I'm inclined to believe some of you more than others there is still a lot of overlapping information here.
I have personally never done this and I'm not even doing it to my car. My main concern up front was that the frames on the TT vs NA are in fact different and I didn't think the TT block would mount up at all. The rest of the stuff ..... please let us know if you done this or if you are just reporting info you've read up on.

Do some searching and you can come up with your own info, my info is correct and im not sure what vrfury is even arguing about it me. He seems to just be covering himself with the things i have corrected for him. Yes i have done many of these swaps and just about anything else, so yea my information is correct. This info is coming from personal experiences and information read and told to me. But like i said, if you dont beleive me or want to know for sure, just do some searching on it and you'll find the exact same info i posted, but said by other people.

I have rebuilt both engines, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see they are VIRTUALLY the same. However, there seems to be almost no sense in doing this cost-wise. Yes, THE DOHC'S BOLT UP TO THE DOHC, N/A OR NOT. But if your doing one setup, there are certain parts that are necessary, you can't just bolt some of this and some of that and make it work. Just saying, "yeah that will work", is like saying you can bolt a caravan motor into this car. Sure it will bolt up, but try closing the hood over that huge intake.
So check your ego at the door. Trying to help so there isn't half-info being given to a good guy. Enough of us have gotten fucked by half-info, we don't need it in our own forum.

Hmm, swearing huh? The sure sign of a desperate man. My chemistry teacher once said that people swear/cuss because they cant think of anything better to say, which i think still holds true in this case.
But....Thank you for regurgitating information i posted in my first post, and i do agree that spreading misinformation is definitely NOT a good thing. But my info is correct(unless i've missed something browsing over what i posted, which is possible, but the info you've chosen to quote there isnt any). Soooooooooooo thanks for you input. This paragraph can also go along with you next post
Back to the OP. I thought i answered your list pretty well, but apparently not well enough. So, post up a list of all the questions you want answered again, and me and mr. fury can answer them im sure....
