Default How do I put a 16v head on my 8v block?

I bought a 16v head from a guy on ebay for $1,000. Pretty good deal, huh? He told me that adapting it to my existing 8v engine is pretty easy but how do I do it? Will I need to remove the timing belts? I just paid like $1,500 to have them and the water pump replaced and it'd be a bummer if I had to redo them. Thanks guys!

Don't know but be sure to check your TPS and DME relay.

I find WD40 does wonders.

they bolt right on but you can add a 8v on the underside of theoil pan and it does the same thing but you need twice as many muffler bearings and blinker resevoirs
