Default will 4x4 cossy head fit 2wd block

can someone tell me if a 4wd cossy head will fit on a 2wd 205-block, if you change the water pump to 4wd is that all or.......any other problems to fit head.
cheers

it will fit but there is no lip for the turbo damper so you have to fit an after market type! also a couple of miner changes water temp switch and oil feed need relocating!

ps water pump is on the block NOT the head so you can still use the 2w/d one!

obviously only with the 2wd thermostat housing, which will fit onto the 4x4 head

also using a 4x4 head with 2wd pistons will also increase the compression ratio, which isn't good
