C head Swap
- Thread starter 1998BlueSVT
- Start date
C heads are great if your running a high boost setup, but the intakes (exhaust too I think) wont match up since the ports are all different though.
whats required for the swap... any other benifits other than for high boost? better to do a 03/04 swap if you can get the motor easy
Well yeah an 03-04 swap will be better than just throwing C heads on lol. N/A though the C heads will make a little more peak, but more throughout the whol rpm range as well. There are a few people who have done it and they will come on here and tell you about it sooner or later.
In both n/a and FI combinations, C heads (99/01 and 03/04) will make more power throughout the entire range and a lot more torque also. C heads do not need high boost to make power.
the 03/04 heads are a little better but all the C heads are better than B heads.
You will need:
heads
intake
TB
Coolant crossover
Intake tube
cruise cable
throttle cable
the 96-98 fuel rail and the 99/01 coolant crossover will both have to be modified. The coolant crossover to accept another sensor and the fuel rail will need the hold down brackets moved.

Sounds like alot of money. Is it worth it???
I would say no in your case, for mine: probably. Because I am building mine from the ground up and don't have any heads to start with yet.
sorry to revive the dead but beats a new thread. Im currently shopping for parts for the swap im hooked on a roots blower so this is the route i gotta go and it will be worth it in the end i think... atleast to me... but on the fuel rail and crossover tube... will a 03/04 tube work or does it have to be modified. and what do you think around 2500-3000 for the swap if i can get ahold of the non vital parts used with probably new FRPP heads
