Think you find it will be a tight squeeze as the lump is longer and taller - the sump would be dragging!!

Anyway that's the extent of what i would know - The Oracle (MJ) might be along later to put you right

Yeah the Porsche V8 is a big lump of stuff and shares nothing with the Audi V8s. The Audi V8s are wide but very short due to being derived from a FWD platform and having the whole engine in front of the front axle. None of the other manufacturers have similar constraints, all having started with RWD so they're generally quite a bit longer, and usually taller as they sit further back in the engine bay. The LSx can just about be made short enough with cunning combinations of accessory drives from various models, but thats practically impossible in the UK since we just don't have enough of them to play with.

Lol. Just weighing up transplant options before I consider a rebuild of engine. As will have to do both heads really if I do one. Not what I was thinking when I brought the car back..
..Guess experience tells me that anyone says they can weld a head to repair and not even removing it from the engine is full of poo. Real shame as I felt I had made the right choice buying the car back on the 200 mile journey home.....well until smoke poured out of the bonnet when I pulled up outside the house.
Annoyingly the car also needs two wheels respraying as well now.
