RWDboy Forums Junkie Location: South Australia Registered: July 2002	Re: 5S & 3S blocks Mon, 10 May 2004 06:55 Yeah, so far my investigations haven't lead to anything conclusive. I can say though, that I'm sure the 3S-GE/FE heads will fit onto a 2S block...however, the 3S-GE pistons must be used (again, to suit the valves as the 2S pistons are 'dish' type) this means the 2S block should be bored. Also the correct gasket must be used. If the 2S is in a RWD car though, you may struggle, as the intake manifold and dizzy/water junction will all probably foul on the firewall or brake booster stuff! As for the 5S-FE/3S-GE combo, it may be possible. I have found an ST184 in a u-pull-it wreckers and the car is absolutely burnt to the ground yet the engine still looks like it may be useful for test fitting stuff. The only question mark so far is that in a catalogue for the head gaskets, the 5S-FE head gasket seemed to be the upside down diagram of the 3S-GE gasket (slight water gallery differences, but they are head related I think, not block related), so who knows whether that means anything or not I guess I'll find out soon enough as.... ....I'm pretty confident this will work, on Thursday I'm going to spend a few hours at this wreckers trying to convince the engine to come with me then I will once and for all know whether this is possible. At this stage, I'm saying 'yes' it is. As for the compression issues? I'm hoping that maybe a 1.5mm copper head gasket can help, plus maybe machining some of the piston? (can this be done with pistons with the valve cut-outs?) Will give more info on this on thursday! [Report message to a moderator]
