How much for the head you know of?

yes it will fit, you'd need to block up the oil way in the head as the feed for turbo is different, and you'll need a complete head with camshafts as these are different also, and it will raise the comp to about 8.2:1, due to you using 2wd pistons and a 4x4 head


if you head is @138.4mm and is perfectly flat at that it will be fine to use just fit it with a Group A gasket and standard head bolts and you'll be fine

I've used a 138mm 4x4 head and ran it at 360bhp with no issues and i used the car real hard
