3L Head on 2lte Block

[eejay99]

Hi Guys,

Got the head off the Surf, showing some corrosion damage and cracks through the valve stems surprise surprise...

I am looking at putting a 3L head onto the 2lte block, does anyone know of any pitfalls or things I will need to watch out for, or take into account in my budget?

I.e Are timing belts, drive belts, gaskets interchangeable between the 2lte and 3L? Or do I need a new setup

The replacement head I am looking at getting is fitted with camshaft, valves and precups. The 'Auto Parts Distributors' one from Auckland off Trademe.

Cheers team, you guys are always helpful!

he will bolt straight on, need to change the exhaust studs around a bit.
only thing was which headgasket. i think some mod the head gaskets to help with cooling of the head.
