I am currently stuck while installing the intake runners onto the cylinder heads.

My engine number starts with "GC," so I believe it is a 2.0L engine. However, the cylinder heads have a 4-bolt intake pattern.

I suspect a previous owner may have swapped the cylinder heads when converting the engine to dual carburetors.

Can I simply look for 4-bolt intake runners to match these heads, or is there an adapter available that would allow me to use the 2.0L intake runners?

From what I have seen, the original 3-bolt 2.0L cylinder heads are rare and expensive.

Has anyone run into this situation before? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Billy

One more thing. If you originally had a 2 liter motor and have replaced it with a motor with 4 stud cylinder heads, where are your spark plugs located?

Lots of 4 stud cylinder heads have the 1.7/1.8 spark plug hole locations that are in a different location than the 2 liter cylinder heads. If this is the case, it will affect performance and you will need the correct tin.
