I have used the search function but am having no luck seeing how to switch my head from a 8 valve to a 16 valve using my stock common block. My car is a 89 dodge shadow and i want the instructions on exactly what i would need to put the head on my common block.

I see in the FAQ that everyone is just swapping the whole engine out. Or am i just reading it wrong?

And i seem to remember there was someone out in AB that had done it and had all of the instructions on how he did it step by step but i can't find it. Thanx for the help.
