yes if you change the pistons to the 16v ones too. the 8v ones will hit the valves other wise, also there are a few other changes that need to be made, such as mounting a position for the crank sensor and all the loom

that is ofcorse asuming that he is planning to keep it on injection, might be easier to put it on some T40's in this particular case
