>5 bearing or 3 bearing, are heads and trannies a straight forward switch?
Yep. Basically the Factory wanted to add a turbo to the deisel version
of the engine and the 3 main bottom end was not strong enough. So they
reworked the bottom of the block to make it a five bearing engine. Of
course this means that you can build a turbo version of the five main
petrol engine as well 8*)
The heads are intercangable among the IIA, and III engines. If you go to
purchase a new head for IIA engine today chances are you will be sold a
2.5L head and a metric stud kit.
>ensure that my ACR head and series IIa tranny will bolt up.
There should be no problem.
