Replacing 2.0L cracked head with 2.2L ? Help
I have a 2006 SS 2.0L with a crack around #2 cyl.
Can I put a different kind of head on it maybe an after market head.
Price is a concern. Its my son car and I am teaching him how to cuss at a car.

Does anything run off of the drivers side of the exhaust cam on the LSJ? If not I would think you could use a 2.2 L61 head. I'm assuming stock tune? Iirc the L61 valve springs aren't as stiff as the LSJ and I think they are only safe to 7,000 rpm.
I'm running a Frankenstein LSJ/L61 build with LSJ block (but L61 crank rods and pistons) with L61 head. I know they are interchangeable from that aspect as far as bolting on.
