Can I use the Cyl head from my 1994 850 turbo wagon to replace the one on my new 99 XCV70? 99 broke tbelt and got the car for 1100.
Is the casting the same? Im thinking cams are different and wondering about valves too. anyways if it will work Im parting the 94 out anyways =) Thanks in advance

True but the later model has CVVT (constant Velocity Valve Timing) which the earlier model does not so the head is different.
