Head question...

Someone I know is selling a worked head from an early engined XR2 (hemi) and I'm wondering if its the same as an RST head...

I know the chambers are the same, but is there anything else that would change the characteristics of it to make it unsuitable for the ERST...

Thanks

I I remember correctly the RST heads have sodium filled exhaust valves to keep them cooler. Just swap the valves over and you should have no problems!

the RST head has the fuel pump outlet anyways, and thats blocked off with a cap so that won't be a problem...

What do you mean about the ports? just the square and round zorst?
