head question

**selliott** · 06-09-2009

Will heads off a 97 3.8 NA fit on a 95 3.8 NA without any modification? I wasn't sure if there was a lower intake manifold difference.

The '95's are the Series I motor and the '97 are the Series II...I think that the head pattern is different...but I know for a fact that the heads are...

Thats why I was asking I know they are to different series, what do you mean the head pattern is different?

i think they are incompatible.

actually, some of the 95/96 cars already came with a seriesII.

a seriesI would be completely incompatible with anything from a seriesII or seriesIII, but you can interchange most parts on a seriesII and seriesIII.

yea the 96 has a different cam though i believe. i think he already said that it was the series 1

so whats different about the head or is it that it just wont match up with the intake?

If we're talking about a Series II, which is very possible in 95, they would probabaly switch just fine. If we're talking about a Series I, it's really a very different engine, even the deck height was changed significantly, so it's not going to swap.
