3SGE Head Fitting onto a 5SFE Block Options

[ST-204R]

Gday, on a regular debate at the pub of a friday evening on ways to get more power out of my mates car and my 5sfe powered silly car, my mate keeps telliung me that he heard that a 5sfe will take a 5sfe head, thus having off the shelf adjustible cam gears and shafts to my car. It jsut doesnt sound right but then again it wouldnt suprise me for the fwd gear boxes are changable between the 2, or well so ive heard (again)

any help would be apperiated and hopefully the question will have one of us doing a shout this wknd lol

you know you wrote "my mate keeps telliung me that he heard that a 5sfe will take a 5sfe head" but i knew what you were asking. to answer your question, i think its possible and its the same process as the 3S-GTE head. is it worth it? i dont think so. its easier to just turbo the 5S-FE

I think he ment to write 3sge/gte head

Here's some info building a 5S-GE/GTE. I haven't add it to the sticky's yet

From what i remember there needs to be some machining to line up the oil ways, bit of fettling to get the transfer box to fit, it does run into a lot of money. However is it Pat Chinsue has a 5sfe block running 843whp thru is gen5 st185, amazing power and has done a 200mph run. The 5sfe block is a lot more nails than the 3sgte but from what i have come to understand a lot of running a block with high power is really good cooling mods.
