The water crossover pipe is what concerns me a little. But The Diamante DOHCs are plentifull in the yards here and easier to find than a DOHC Montero. Also are the left and right banks interchangable on the DOHC engines? Since I'm lazy, It would be easier to pull two different front heads off two seperate cars maybe not the best idea, but a thought...


IIRC they are the same casting front and rear but with different bosses drilled etc.

no matter how you look at it you will need a rear head for the cam sensor mount. ill check my early DOHC heads when i get home to double check that theyre the same front and rear.

FWIW its pretty easy to pull the rear head out of a diamante. i havent done it in a yard but it could likely be done in about 90 minutes since you can just cut the belts instead of take everything down to the bare block properly. it took me 2 hours to pull an SR engine out of the yard since i wasnt going to be reinstalling it.
