The 2.7L big Type 4 had/had funky heads on it that were customized for the 6 stud case.
Can you do that with 1.8 or 2.0L 914 heads as well? Anyone been there, done that, figured it out? Thanks and hope Monday has been a good one. |

I suspect that someone esentially built a one off science project. From what I've seen so far it seems like some one spent a bunch of time a money on it already. Is there a reason you can't simply rebuild those heads? |

Good morning and thanks for the response.
I was asking mainly to see if I could use 2.0L to get more stock exhaust. Basically making it less unicorn. Grin. |

That is the intake. What do the exhaust ports look like? If modified you probably cant adapt a stock type exhaust. And if you do it may restrict the breathing of the engine.

The heads that came with it have bigger valves than Tyep 4 heads, 40 and 48 which is pretty significant than even the upgraded 2.0L heads.
