The pistons will have cut outs for the valves.

But why not find a 2.3 16v Granada engine and use that.

Or a possibility is the 2.3 galaxy engine just remove balance shafts.

Will make a good car great with that combo imo also seen turbocharged ones aswell.

I seem to remember a mod where the 2.3 head is fitted, which increases torque.
