The heads on my '91 350 SDL need repair. The engine was replaced with a 300 TD engine, after the 350 developed a knock. So I have a 350 SDL with a 300 TD engine.


Can I use the 350 head on the 300 engine? My understanding of the engines is that the 300 was stroked and bored to get the 350. I would think that the 350 head shuld be a bolt on swap. When I did the engine swap I had no issues. Anyone see any issues with a swap of heads?

Yes they are interchangable.

Thanks for the reply. Do you know offhand if the 350 has larger valves?

Valves are the same size. Cam shaft is improved on the 350s 2 more hp.

Again, thank you.

Head off the 350 is far superior. In combination with the 3 liter engine block The pair are almost bulletproof.

Actually in my mind also increases the value of the vehicle. If I ever had a car with the 3.5 diesel engine. I would buy a three liter lower block and keep it in storage.

me too.
