I was just wondering if anyone had any info about this, or could point me somewhere to see what all would be involved in creating such a hybrid (ie. 5sgte). I have a 5sfe engine and came across an auction on ebay for a 3sgte head. The thought was, larger torque with the higher cc block, along with the extra performance and mod capabilities of the 3sgte head.
So far the only thing I've found about this was: here (scroll down to the "5sfe build up" section Thanks, PS, I just registered, props to the site, great info. |

I researched this project for a while and I've concluded that it wouldn't be feasable. Apparently you'll need to machine the head for more coolant ports. Plus there may not be enough valve clearance. It is possible, but there are too many questions that need to be answered before it is done by an amateur like myself. boring out a 3sgte to a 2.2 would have the same effect.
