yes i think they are.the block is the same so the sump should be.and the head is the same so the inlet should be too.the only difference there may be is where the power cap/let top hat goes on

i'm pretty sure the inlets are the same.daz 1985 has a f28 fitted he will know how to do them.you could always use an f20 they are a stronger gear box and less hassle

they are a bit heavier than f20 but wouldnt waste time fitting something that will need changed often and go for an f28

inlet is same, head is near as damn it the same just had sodium filled exhaust valves, inlet manifold is same, throttle body is different, cams are different, afm is different, loom is different etc

f28 is not really harder to fit gearlinkage takes a bit of shortening and welding, but its far better box than f28. i dont know many people to have destroyed an f28
