In Reply to: Project 83 320i - 2litter head on 1.8 block???? posted by Aris on February 19, 2000 at 10:48:02:
Sorry, I am a little confused, 1.8 head on 2.0 block? If so that will work just fine, in fact the 1.8 head flows better that the 2.0 head. When rebuilding the bottom make sure that you have the crank turned etc. I have a 79 with a new bottom end and have done work to the 1.8 head that should be going on next week, I have it on for a while and the car definitely felt better that with the 2.0 head. Once I do the swap I will have the 2.0 head done completely and see what happens.
: Hello, this is only the 2nd time I posted in this board. I just purchased an abandoned 82 320i. The previous owner left it to rot with a leaking clutch master cylinder (now I know why, considering how hard it was to change). The leak was so bad that it has soaked the cars' entire carpeting and floor insulation with brake fluid. I was told the car has not run in two years. Surprisingly, all it needed to run when I picked it up was a new battery and air in all four tires =). It ran fairly well considering everything. It is quite a bit sluggish on pick-up but runs well over the 85mph spedo in the fwy.
: Since purchasing it I have replaced the clutch master cylinder. I have also replaced the cars' entire interior insulation and carpeting with original items from the dealer(parchment interior). With a little cleaning here and there & taking the old tint out, the car's interior looks great.
: Now, for the question. Since I am rebuilding the engine. I need to know if it is possible to mate a
: 2.0 block from <79 model to an 80> head??? Thank you in advance for your help. I will post pictures of my project car next time.
