530 to 531 head swap anybody?

Post by **Black_360_GLT** » 15 Jan 2006 01:54 am

There was a few posts and alot of confusion about the 531 head in past posts. Can someone give me a yes/no answer if it is possible and easy to swap a 530 (B200E) head to a 531? and, has anyone done this?

Cheers,

Al

There is a question regarding the exposed non-fire ring section of the head gasket, given that this is a B200. I'd not consider it worth the risk given the 530 is a fairly generous head for the B200 (unlike the B230). But then I said all that on MSN

I'd start your work elsewhere, for example with a 960 or 850 throttle body.
