just looking for ideas here......

i have a 96 that i am dropping a super charger on...only after i bore and stroke it..

but i was wondering if the 4.0 heads were the same as the 3.8

i mean i know the 4 liter is steel and the 3.8 aluminum.. but will they bolt up the valves in the 4.0 look bigger will they fit in the 3.8 head? just looking for junkyard mods..
my stroker is a junkyard stroker kit as well...sorta...just not sure if i need to use the 4.2 crank or not
