cylinder heads

[mchirella109]

whats up everyone? I am a little new to the vg30e but got deeply interested very quick. i got alot of hours invested on reading forums and digging for all of the information i can. I have a 1990 maxima that i picked up for $250.00 in fair shape it runs great and it just passed inpection as it was sence i had it the only trouble that i am having is that someone must have broke all of the exaust manifold bolts so that they can change the gasket because there is all new studs installed, but they must not have drilled straight on the bottem right and slightly drilled threw the coolant tube in the head because i can hear hissing and antifreeze dribbleing from tne bolt. I also picked up a 1993 villager for $100 dollars because someone was thinking of scraping it, so my question is how different aare the heads from the two cars and will it work .

The heads will be the same but the cams will be different so you can swap the heads, just be sure to swap the cams as well.

thank you for your reply , from what i understand ford use a different cam so that the valves dont open as far as the maxima. so can i use the villager heads with the maxima cam or are the valves and lifters differnt too?

Should just be the cams. If I remember correctly they have slightly less lift but the valves and rockers should be the same.
