300SD cylander heads swappable?

Hi. Are cylander heads swappable between the different years? Specifically, will an '85 fit an '81?

Thanks!

Randy

I'm fairly sure that you can swap heads on all the 617's of that vintage. I did have an issue......easily resolved..........with one of the ports for a temperature switch on the driver's side. The '85 had an additional temperature switch whereas the '84 simply had a socket head plug.

I removed the boss for the temperature switch and got the plug from the dealer after a struggle to get the part number...........thanks again to Ray for that.

Are you saying that turbo and non-turbo heads on 617's can be swapped ?

I was hoping that they could.
