Head swap information..

Hi,

I got an used head. This is "supposed' to come from a 5.9l 1993, but the guy wasn't sure.. Can somebody tell me if this head will fit on my 1994?



Cheers,
Marc/

check out the injector holes, like where the stick out. the early heads have a bigger hole, 9mm if i remember right and the 94 to 98 have a 7mm hole.

RedRotors looks like according to this web page the '93 and '94 head should be the same. One thing you don't want is a head from before Jan. 1, 1991.
