yes it does but it is also sohc and much different from the dohc 6g72 found in the tt 3/s's... im not sure if a dohc swap has been done on a 3g v6?

could you just swap the head off of the dohc 6g72. More than likely im wrong but never hurts to ask.

You can make a V12 3G using a tube chassis, Dave. lol. Theres a lot more to that than just a head swap. THe motors dont even mount up the same way. If you really want to do an engine swap with that car, why dont you look more into the 6g74 swap. Its a lot more plausable.
