Heres a pic of my old 202.
The 12 Port head has 12 ports 6 inlet 6 exhaust
The 9 port heads have 3 inlet & 6 exhaust

I dont have a 9 port head pic to show you the difference maybe someone else here has a 9 port head pic

cheers
Scott

Hi guys
i was wondering if someone could tell me the differences in a black and a red 202 because im trying to figure out wat mine is...i know that sounds silly lol but the original red 202 in the vb sl came out with auto trans it had a single barrel stromberg carby and mine has a manual m21 trans it has a varrajet 2 carby and it has the 4 bolt patern on the side for i think its either power steering or aircon and i dont know if it helps determine if its 12 or 9 port but i took the rocker cover off today to respray it and it has 12 rocker arms
thanks guys

look in the ports, a 12 port has each port properly divided, a nine port has siamese intake ports, ie there's a cast iron column (where the headbolts go through) in the middle of each intake port.
like everyone else says, buy a written off VK EFI, that way all the fiddly little bits you can swap over, rather than paying and scrounging wreckers to find odd bits. You can then swap the fuel lines, fuel tank etc straight over, sell the rest and get some money back on it.

Being that we are dealing with a VB with a red motor it will take any V8 donar and its pre pollution so mods are nearly endless.

cheers
