Can I swap the whole head b7 head on b2 block?

Everything seems to be the same except the pistons and camshaft. But, since I don't know what the differences are......

 

i dont think there is any difference in the b15b2 and the d15b7, except for maybe the different obds.

Why do you want to do this, is something wrong with your head??

 

double post...sorry

 

I took the head off my 88 b2 for a head gasket job and found the valve seals are bad and some scoring on the number one cam lobes. I have a 92 b7 motor that has 2 burnt intake valves. Instead of replacing the seals and cam, I wanted to just replace the two bad valves using some from the b2.

That way I'll at least have a score free cam and 30,000 less miles on the valve seals.

I just don't want to make the engine run bad or slower by saving $40 on the seals. I would just use the cam with the scores if I had to because they're not that bad. I do have another b2 motor to steal the cam from, but it's still in use until I get this car ready.

Just going by part numbers the cam and pistons are different, I just don't know why and what will happen if I use the b7 cam on the b2 motor.

 

Too much work- I ended up using the B2 head as is, except I had to use my B7 cam. The B2 one was scored on about 6 lobes. The B7 valves were CAKED with crap, even scraping and wire brushing didn't removed it. Plus it had the two burnt valves to begin with. Screw the valve seals, screw everything. The head is back on. I have to finish bolting stuff up, then fire it up.
