    Early euro 2.7l questions

    Hi folks. New owner of a euro imported 4/85 build date with a 6KA stamped block. From what I read this should be an 11:1 compression motor

    I have read a few posts on this forum here and one had a chart with the different piston configurations.

    Car runs and drives great right now but I can see wanting to head swap and raise the RPM and have more fun while keeping the “stock” m20 motor.

    Am I correct in assuming this would make an “easy” swap as I wouldn’t drop too low CR using an 885 head? Very little info on the early euro 2.7s that I can find so far.

    I’m a motorcycle guy and have a done a lot of my own work so I’m fairly mechanically inclined.

    you might wanna check the uk forums like e30 net as they have piles more experience with that motor. there are other euro forums as well but you generally need to be fluent in other languages.
