16v head?

Post by kds19 »

right i know there is a 16v head that fits onto the b230.
but doest that mean it will fit the b200 and b19 due to it being a redblock?
if so what car can i find the heads in?
cheers

2.3 combustion chamber is different size from 2.0 so the 2 don't like mixing together.

B204GT and B204FT are 2.0 16v heads but if you find that engine, it would be stupid not to build in the whole unit (best equipped redblock there is)
