To keep it simply and avoid a long story,I am trying to find if J35A4 (2004 honda Odyssey) Heads and intake can be installed on an L66 (2005 saturn vue) block. If so which head gasket? Any info would be great,Thanks

To be clear. The L66 (I had to look it back up) is the same as a J35A3.  You wish to slap heads and intake off a A4 on a A3?

 

Head gaskets interchange.

I imagine the heads would as well. IDK about the intake. I mean sure it would fit the heads your swapping on, I just dont know if they will bolt up and fit wiring wise? Both engines are the same so far as compression and power.

Whats the end goal? Your Saturn needs heads etc, and you found a deal on A4 stuff?

In reply to bonylad :

I bought the A4 to put in a dune buggy .Then the adapter kit,high torque starter,wiring harness and custom ecu ,custom exhaust.The engine had only 47K but since it had been sitting decided to install a timing belt kit with water pump.When I removed the water pump,I saw the water pump housing /block were cracked. Tried to have it welded twice by a fab shop, still leaked now no one else wants to touch it. So I bought the L66(the  lable on the block says J35S1 which is the same as the J35A3 (03-06).The L66 has single port exhaust and electronic throttle.That's why the head swap, use my existing exhaust and wiring harness.The head gasket part number is different ?
