Default does a y8 dizzy fit on a z6 head?

so i bent a bunch of valves on my y8 head, found a z6 head locally. i'm gonna swap all the stuff off the y8 head onto the z6 and run it obd2.

but some people are saying that the y8 dizzy won't work with the z6 cam ... any truth to this? anyone put a y8 dizzy on a z6 head before?

are you serious

ok it's no big deal though

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by shifty35 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">He is correct, a Y8 dizzy will NOT fit on a Z6 head. The talk about Y and Z cams being different (smaller?) is also incorrect - Y8 and Z6 cams are interchangable, the only difference being in the keyway for the cam gear - a Y8 cam must be used with a Y8/Y7 cam gear, and a Z6 cam must be used with a Z6/B7 cam gear. Otherwise, a 4 degree correction must be dialed in using an adjustable cam gear.

You can MAKE the Y8 dizzy work with the Y8 head, but it is a hack job, and not pretty - involves hacking up the mounting arms. Your best bet is to pull apart the Z6 dizzy and transplant all the Y8 guts into it.</TD></TR></TABLE>

it'll work but you'll have to "modify" some of the holes to make it line up. Its no big deal just get a tubular file and mod it.
