Shouldnt be a problem. Same 88ci fuel injected twin cam touring motor. Obviously no performance benefit, but itll work for a repair or any other reason

damn, thats a tough one. I was in the same boat a couple months ago. I ended up borrowing a JIMS fixture to drill the entire stud out of the head. Then you just clean the threads in the head out with a tap. I was to afraid to break an easy out off in there, ive broken them in less critical places before and your not drilling those things out.... Just something to consider if you're ever there again (hopefully you wont need to though).

I don't know if you just have the replacement head or if you are buying it, but since you are removing the head anyway, if you take the head with a broken stud to a machinist they will be able to remove it, even with the ez-out broken off in it. I would go to the dealer to pick up a couple new studs so they can install them while they are at it. Probably won't cost any extra. I have done this a few times, last summer the latest, and I have never known a machinist to not be able to remove the broken stud, ez-out or not.

If you want to fix it right, the only thing to do would be drop a 124" in there
