Default Differences between 12v and 30v 2.8s

What are the differences between the two engines other than the obvious difference with the heads? For example would I be able to just swap a 30v head onto my 12v block? Thanks.

Default Durch die 90° -V- Konstruktion wird eine geringe

Durch die 90° -V- Konstruktion wird eine geringe

Bauhöhe erzielt. Das lässt zwischen den Zylinderbänken

gleichzeitig viel Raum zur Anbringung des Schalt-

saugrohres. Der Motor hat den gleichen Zylinderwinkel

wie der V8 Motor.

Ohhh, sorry. That was meant for somehting else..But it looks cool.

No, yould have to swap the engine management system as well which would cost some bucks..
90% of the electronics in the 12v are made by Hitatchi and the 30v are from Bosch.

But mechanically they are mostly the same or no? Meaning the block itself.

Default No. A friend and I just looked into this........

We happened to have a pair of 30v heads, and were thinking about putting them on his 12v. The oil passages do not line up correctly...specifically, 2 passages near the back of the head won't line up.
