    I was just wondering if its possible to fit the vs ecotec head on the vr buick engine and if so what things would have to be done to make it fit..
    also does anyone know if that would give any increase in performance or even reliability??

    thanks =]

    can be bolted on. custom camshaft and intake manifold need to be made up. its much easier just to use the whole motor. theres no real advantages bar keeping the vr block.

    oh okay.. i guess that would be quite expensive.. so i wont be doing that lol... the reason i was thinking of doing that was i seen 1.98 ratio roller rockers for the ecotec engine for around $650... but i havent seen any for the buick engine... do you know of anywhere i can get them for the buick engine?

    cheers mate =]
