cross-flow vs g60

[sad_rocc at yahoo.com (Dan Smith)]

Really? Cool, contact me off list to sell me one. Are x-flow heads digi 1? Can I use a g60 intake and exhaust mani without problems? Does the TB of a x-flow have all the sensors that a g60 has? Can I swap them if not? I've spent like a month learning about the g60 head and now I feel obligated to do the same with the x-flow.

Well, as I said in my original post, I have no shortage of Turbo Diesel 
manifolds. They're not considered "rare" in the Great White North - I 
probably have about 8 of them.

I could buy an entire turbo diesel parts car for the price of a 16V 
turbo manifold.
