&M-GTE head on the 7M-GE

bioskyline · 10-21-2010, 07:33 PM

the heads are the same. the gaskets for intake and exhaust are the same for turbo or non. even a 5m head will fit the 7m (and thus the 6m), but i believe you have to change the pistons to match the head.

both cams (IN and EX) are different from what my interchange is showing me. from what ive seen around and heard, the ge cams on a gte give you about 15-30 hp gain, i guess it depends on if using new cams or used cams.

how can the heads be the same if the GE uses a distributor and the GTE has coil packs...? would there be any issues with the GE if you put coil packs on it instead of the distributor?

glad to help, but the valve covers are different from ge to gte aswell, but they are swapable. the diff is the gte covers have the mount and indent for the coil packs and the "3000" pipe, where the ge covers have the indent for the ACIS manifold
