The 5 Gordini was n/a. Do you mean the 5 Gordini Turbo? ;)

I think the gordini turbo head has better material of valve guides (copper color) than the n/a.

I thought the heads were the same, the differences in compression ratio were done with pistons. Can check part no's when I'm home

John it would be fine to use na gordini head it's all about getting the compression ratio right for turboing matey. Look at the 172 turbo cars no head work just a case of sorting compression ratio out I.e skim the pistons crank stroke etc
