Hi there, does anyone know if a Twin cam head off a F5B Turbo motor will fit onto a F6A single cam turbo block?

Unfortunately not. The F5B is a strange motor in that it shares almost nothing in common with other 3 cylinder F series motors.

An F6A twin cam head would fit though.

F5B head is the same as the Cappa F6A Head

F5B gasket kit (whole motor) is also the same

I'd certainly try it - and if my thoughts are correct, i'd be suprised if it didn't fit

They look similar, spose i'll measure the head up on both where it bolts to the block, cant see it being different. i have a complete F5B (with computer) and complete F6A (it's in the car) where is the best place to get a head gasket if i was to attempt it? I have a Suzuki Cervo Mode, and i want to get the most power out of it.

Is there much difference between single cam and twin cam power wise?

No difference in factory power output, but you can stretch the legs of the twinkie head further if you want to seriously mod it.

You bought the black Cervo off Yahoo? I was SOOOO tempted to buy that - would love to check it out sometime if you wanted to catch up?
