Best head for a g60 16v conv

[busterdub]

Hi all

After some info building a g60 16v engine what's the best head to use?

What are planning for the bottom end.

I think you will need to run an 8v head then

ABF cylinder head wins hands down IMO 

has the best ports in std form not the biggest ports but they flow,  the early BIG port KR heads (027)  have big inlet porst but the exhaust ports are just f**king horrible.

Yes but will a ABF head fit on a G60 block

[danny_p]

yes it will.

g60 block is near as dammit the same as a KR block, some use fatter head bolts 1N ( i think ) but you can just drill out the head bolt holes in the head a littel if needed the PG uses same diamiter bolt as everythging else  just use 16v bolts.   

obviously for 16v g60 you need diffrent pistons and iirc some or all g60 blocks will need a rebore to take 81mm pistons
