Long story short I was having issues with my motor.
I have a few bent valves.
Now I have a 1g head with fresh valves. Guides ect. Can I swap all that into my 2g head ? I would run the 1g head. But dont have a intake for it.
Stem heights the same ? Everything the same ?
The spare 2g head I have I bought from lkq I dont really trust the light rust in it.
Please help me out guys.
Call or text me also. Im in a crunch here. Dont want to have wasted taking time off for pg and everything I bought for the weekend.

I'll buy beer and pizza if anyone is willing to lend a hand :)

Get a 1g intake. With bent valves you can have cracked or messed up the valve guides on the 2g head.

its a spare 2g head that I pulled from the yard to hang onto for times like this, but looking into the exhaust housing and intake housing on them I see some rust on the valve stems,
plus on cylinder ports 1 and 2 on the exhaust sides I see old oil residue.
I would really like to just take the 1g parts and put them over. I think the 1g head I have is warped because I had a hell of a time pulling it off my old 2.3 block when I blew a head gasket.
im trying to part together parts from 2 bad things and make one half way decent bad thing . :seeya:
which sounds stupid I know, but I have to get the car there or lose a huge bet made to my 5.0 mustang buddy who was talking shit all year long predicting because its a dsm I wont make it to proving grounds

Swapping valves and especially guides is not a simple process. Like tkr mentioned, it'd be far easier to use your 1g head, I've even got an extra intake. Throw a straight edge on it and see if it's actually warped.

How many bent valves do you have on the head? If you only need a few and the guides aren"t cracked I have some 2G valves you could have. I swaped out 2 bent valves in my head last year with no issues.

He just left, his spare 2g head was pretty decent.
