will an S50 head fit onto an M50 block? If so, is it an easy swap? I know I owuld need upgraded software, but im concerned whether this is doable. Thanks
fitment is a direcy swap, in fact all e36 cylinder heads are the same (obviously not the 1.8). ONly differences are the cam sizes.. this should bolt right on and you MIGHT need a chip upgrade to work with the new cams
alrighty then. I can get a head from a 95 LTW for $950. Is this worth it? oh and what about the timing? The chain from m50 will work? Will it be hard to time with this head?
ics performance is gonna hook me up with the install and they are going to burn custom software using the dyno. Now im excited.. They said to do the whole motor if I could tho..we'll see
