    The basic head and engine are essentially the same. You can swap out the longblock and use your original wiring and parts. I would however make sure that both heads have the same number of ports. In the 1sg gen the 2.7 came with either 4 ports or 8 ports in the intake and head.

    I was only able to tell after I unbolted the intake manifold. I am sure there is a way to tell without unbolting, but I don't know what it is.
