CA18ET question

[92gvr4#333]

could one use a DET head on a ET block? I have a chach to buy a S12 for 50 bux but the head is in sad shape but I suppose it could be re-worked. But I rather upgrade to the DET head and use the ECU from a DET as well or could I just get by with just the head swap?

It can and has been done, takes some work. People have also swapped the DET crank girdle onto the ET block.

Check out http://www.club-s12.org/forum/ for more info.

^^^^thanks, we try

even though to put a det head into a et block would be kinda difficult since you need 2 tensioner pulleys, the et releif valves are different etca lot of headache was tried but too much got in the way and still is in the talksnothing concrete so far, or at least nothing i have seen
