you're right John.  You need an E12 head.  BMX directed you to a 121 head.  Apples and Oranges. 

 

......a few more days, someone will respond with the correct head...

 

Where are you?  couple of shops in SoCal might be able to help you out too.  .Have you called 'em?

Hello

 

I have an e12 head, I would need to check it over, measure it. ..maybe even pressure test it before I would ship it....$300 plus shipping.

 

You can contact me at 324tdi@gmail.com

 

Honest estimate would be right after Thanksgiving.

 

Thanks

Just to be clear, bmx316 has an E21 head currently. The E21 head was Introduced on Euro-spec e21 cars and was installed on all U.S.-spec 1976 model-year, 49-state version 2002's.  An E12 and an E21 are somewhat similar and might work with the same low-compression (8.0:1), flat-top pistons, but they are not identical.

Agreed, I havn't seen an e21 head up close and personal but in pictures it appears to have a lot of e12 characteristics.   heres a link to a good discussion pistons, heads and blocks.

I have an excellent used 1979 casting E12 head that was pulled from a running engine.  It would work fine with your flat top pistons.  Located in Vacaville,CA.

I am hoping to stick to original so the E21 is the one I am looking for.   BTW you guys all rock!

If it came off a '78 320i (e21), it won't likely be drilled for a mechanical fuel pump, but any machine shop can easily rectify that.
