Slider v/s Roller (not usual ?s)

I cant find a non cracked head for the '87, so I am thinking I will order a rebuilt for $300, pull the cam, and put my Crane in. The I can take the cam that came in the head, and my new HLAs and rockers, and put them in the '85 since it is sounding very much like a VW TDI.

My other option is ordering one that is roller, and making the '85 a roller setup.

Will this work? What has to be swapped?

I have a head that just came outta the shop still wrapped with paper work. Didn't know you were looking for one.

price shipped to 19015?

Any other input???

Typically the reman heads are n/a heads not turbo heads (heart shaped chamber, no sodium filled valves, etc.).

I understand that, and have already spoke to the rebuilder about the chamber shape. How do you verify the valve type.

According to Bo, the turbo valves will not draw a magnetic pull but the NA ones will slightly.
