    What do the b34 swap people do?

    So i just found out that the B34 motor needs the b35 HEAD to work.

    but that will lower compression.

    what did you all do about that?

    also what about your oil pans?

    i'm going to build a b34 block with a b35 head. i'm going turbo, so going to run a shit load of boost. i have a fully built b35 head with a 290 bmp turbo cam all ready to go. i'm picking up a b34 block sunday. i think going turbo is the way to go with these combo. i've heard that a stock block can hold up to 600 hp.

      The b34 head works perfectly fine, you just need to hit the firewall a bit.

          the b34 head i think is longer or just bigger then the b35 head. so you have to bash the firewall in a little to get the b34 head to fit in there right.

              There's a water fitting on the back of the B34 head that requires clearance. The head is the same size.

                      Yes, you should be able to see the water fitting.

                      E32 and E34 oil pans (from the B35) are needed to clear the steering rack on e30s.
