DX cam in an 2H Digifant head ???

Post

Hi everyone. Can anyone tell me if i can use a camshaft from a DX engine in a 2H head ? I'd like to give the Digifant engine some more power and the DX cam produces 112 Hk where the 2H is 95 Hk. The reason i ask is that the 2H head only got 4 cam "brackets" to hold it down, but the DX headhas 5. On the location of the nr two 2 bracket in the Dx head there is a sensor on the 2H head, otherwise they are very close to be identical, and the DX cam actually fits very nicely into the 2H head, but the cams are very very close to the edge  of the buttom of the head just before they turn to push the valves down.  IMG_9085.JPG IMG_9085.JPG IMG_9085.JPG

Heads with 4 cam brackets are later heads with hydraulic tappets, head with 5 cam brackets are early heads have solid tappets with shims.

I thought you needed to match up the same cam as original but not 100% sure?
