That's interesting, I've never seen them but always assumed the heads were the same, so that they could save money using just one casting for both heads. Are the differences something that was machined differently on the same casting? Otherwise I'm struggling to understand why they would design an engine with one timing chain on the front of the engine and the other at the back.

I have a complete set of 2004 heads off a 3.2 they look almost the same and also could not be switched for the same reasons.
