    Wtb: #200 2.7 head, or complete ETA 2.7 engine. northern california.

    My head decided to be a dick an now it won't be in working condition. So I'm on the look out for an eta head or eta longblock. Possibly interested in complete 885 head swap if it's cost effective. Please post in here or PM me of your looking to sell. i'm located in northern california and willing to pick up, anywhere further than that im willing to consider shipping if the price is right.

    Thanks fellas.

    I have a spare eta head I got out of a 135k junkyard car. I bent 1 intake valve and 1 exhaust valve moving it around, otherwise its really really clean. From an inspection there are no cracks and the coolant tracks are super clean. I can take pics if you are interested.

          To be honest I think the head was rebuilt at some point. The valve cover was gross on the inside but the head looked very clean. So either it was a valve cover from a different car or the head was rebuilt

                            I'm an "i" guy but I was under the impression that an i head was a straight swap\upgrade on to an e block, so for the same amount of effort why wouldn't you go that route ?

                              he still needs the manifolds, throttle body, intake boot, the whole shebang.
