m30b35 Head on m20b27

[Swerve]

Hey guys just wondering if someone might have a bit of info for me.
I want to swap my m20 head as it had a broken timing belt.
So! Would a m30b35 head fit on an m20b27?

Thanks!

m30 head is hardwood, you need wood glue to seal it to the block properly, but m20 block isn't porous enough so you'll blow headgaskets a lot

Look at M30. Look at M20. One of these things is physically much larger.

So what you're saying is that it will bolt up.

I used a s54 head on a m20 block and m30 intake manifold.
All bmw shit bolts up.

I used a new head off the new 335i head from the dealer, gained all the horse power. Got a blue powerband out of it too, its got wicked nos.
