Admag 0 Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) I'm struggling to find a database with commonality of parts across Engine codes. I basically need to build another engine from what I can get hands on So, I have carravelle /Ev with 2.8 auto AES which the head is shot! But my Thoughts are whilst at it , and the current motor having covered (200k miles) I may as well look at bottom end at same time. From various sites I have deduced any 12v head can mate a AAA Block , all I'd have to do is change the oil pan pick up pipe from my AES etc (Right? ) But the hard part is getting another head. I think I'm right in saying, the AMY head is the same casting as AES? Then in theory I just need to swap cams etc and manifold and hey presto newish engine! Is there a physical difference between automatic engine blocks and manual? As most modern Engines have different bell housings on auto to hold the torque converter and from photographs this doesn't seem the case unless my eyes deceive me, So, am I right ? Is there an easier route? Different engine codes , etc Edited October 4, 2016 by Admag Can't spell ;) Link to post Share on other sites
