    Default 3.8 Heads question

    I would guess its possible to take the heads from a 3.8 S3 and put them on a S1 block. My 93 olds with 230k on it has worn out heads with a good bit of valve float. I was going to rebuild my L26 heads that I have from my top swap, put the original springs back on with new valves and stick them on the olds... Just want to check if it was do-able.

    Sorry, they dont' fit. S2/S3 are symetrical and your S1 isn't. People have tried/researched it and found that they can't make it work based on pushrods etc. Placement is off


    If Dave feels 60% throttle is 100%, what does he tell his wife.
