I read that the B6 motor is basically a bored out B3. IF this is true, will a B6 head & turbo fit on my B3 block?

how diffrent? can you drill them out? do they go in to the oil ports?
I sold a early model head to FFW, and he said something about the ports being different...
That's what I'm going off of.Last edited by festivaWES; 07-07-2009, 09:40 PM.

Once again "The Search Master" comes through. Jeez guys it isnt difficult. You just have to ignore your ADD tendencies and be willing to do a little reading.
Heres one where ketchup was wondering about doing the opposite.
Looks like early 1st gen B6s will work though. I think if I remember reading correctly on later ones the cooling and oil passages dont line up and arent even very close. Theres a thread around here somewheres that has some comparisson pics and it was a pretty noticeable difference.Search Master - Honorary Member of Midwest Festiva Inc., Gulf Coast Chapter

OK, here's an update. The head does not have a turbo! It's just the head w/ intake. Does that change anything?Comment
