Hey guys, just wanted to ask a theoretical question. Can 6G75 Mivec heads bolt up to a 72? Will the oil and coolant ports line up? Will these heads raise the compression? I saw a claim on here that all 6G7x heads are swappable between the engines and it made me curious. Any thoughts? Has this been done? :dunno:

Thanks in advance for the info

Um what? Of course they'll bolt up. All USDM 6g7 24vs use the same head bolt pattern.

The car won't even run though. The 72 makes like 8.95:1 stock... With the 3.8 heads it's like 6.9:1. It wont run at all.

It'd be a useless endeavor either way. 3 liters isn't enough displacement to do shit without boost and you can't spin it any higher so there's literally no gain. Aside that the 3.8 valves are so big you'll LOSE power. Just like the 3.8 guys who do oversized valves.
