hey i have 1994 suzuki sidekick 16v (no body) and a 92 tracker8v (daily driver)
now can i jus swap the heads..???

If the 8V has valve relifes in the pistons you should be ok. If they don't you'll have to swap the motor because the 16V engine is a interference type.

The 8v pistons have reliefs for just the two big valves. I doubt they would work with a 4 valve head, plus aren't there differences in the alignment of the cam belt and oil/coolant ports?

Probably easier to just swap the entire motor.

The 8V pistons don't really have reliefs as it's not a interference engine but your right the 8V pistons wont work. There are no differences in cam belt or oil/coolant ports. Just don't installed the wrong head gasket or install it upside down as it will block a oil passage.
