instance?
The rest seems staight forward enough. I may have to go look at some parts in our warehouse ; )
With that CR, and a cam change .. me van will be quite nippy ... I expect this conversion makes quite a difference to torque ... and I like torque
Cheers 4 now
The heads swap over with no problems at all with oil and water ways.
Best thing to do with the balancer shafts is to throw the complete Galaxy sump/shaft assembly in the bin. The half moon casting on the front of the 2 litre block has the oil pump chain tensioner, so all you need to do is use this with the 2 litre pump chain. You will also need the mains studs and oil pickup etc from the 2 litre.
If you decide to use the 2.3 head on a front wheel drive you will need to get a waterway welded up that is used for the thermostat housing on the Scorpio.

2.0 head
welded 2.3 head
The RS2000 inlet does not seal against the Galaxy head because of some cut outs on the Galaxy mating face and the plastic isolator will need machining for individual O rings or you could just use gasket paper.
