Swapping to a 6 bolt motor, can i use my 2g heads? manifold? intake? clutch?

Thanks in advance!
 
You can use the 2g head but you have to drill the bolt holes larger to fit the 6 bolt head studs. If you are using a 2g head you can use the 2g intake manifold. The clutch is the same but flywheels ate different.

What about the 7 bolt internal parts? i.e. crank, pistons, rods? Would any of those be of use in a 6-bolt? Also the Exhaust manifold should be ok?

A little research would go a long way. As for internal parts, the only internal parts that are usable are the pistons, and you really don't want to press pistons off old rods and install on new ones when the price for a new set is so cheap.

I have been doing so much research and reading for the past month, a little help from a community goes a long way. Thank you
