Mark, You want an 82 and later head with fuel pump provision. Buying a used head which hasn’t been pressure tested can be problematic.

This head came off of a euro 2.8l that was tested and was a very strong motor if the op needs a 82 and up I also have a e28 b34 head that can be pressure tested for an extra 30$ and I have a 3.0 cs head out of currently running motor just let me know thank you
Chris has made the point- the goal here is a later head with a fuel pump fitting.
Later head has the improved coolant passages that seldom crack.
Fuel pump head means no electric pump hassles.
You can buy one or you can make one.
Never buy a head without knowing the thickness and never buy a head unless it’s been checked by a machine shop.
A warped head can be impossible to take apart or machine.

I didn’t know the op was
that is true but an electric pump does have very quick starts, and less cranking time means less wear since a very substainable amount of engine wear happens on start Ups, I personally had a good reliable experience with a 30$ pump from eBay I did run fuel returns at the weber Dgv dual carb set up , b28 does bolt up to 3.0 and could raise compression some since it has a smaller combustion chamber

I agree b34 head is recommended even though all b28 heads I have are tested on running driven By me cars with working temp guages, however I have heard about early heads having that issue! None of mine have had it , and it is always a good idea to check for warpage with a good straight edge and a feeler guage for warpage
Hello, I have 1973 3.0csi I am not using the engine If you can use the head cylinder I can give that to you what do I have to look to see it is what exactly is the one you want let me know
I have a new one with valves if you , or anyone else is interested .
I think it is the AMC brand but need to verify .

Thanks for the reply and option. I'm going to revert to Chris and determine best choice. I'm grateful for the reply from this forum.
Chris, Thanks for the heads up. I will add this to my search and hope to have my 3.0CS up and running by HB Car show.
Thanks for the offer Bavarian. Please advise the the condition of this 3.0 CS cylinder head. How much does this cost?
The Csi does not have the pump opening on the head. Your head belongs on a fuel injected engine.

someone local just called and said they wanted to take the whole 3.0 cs motor sorry... i have 1 2800 head for 150$ plus shipment and a 1000 miles head that received a full rebuild 500 plus shipment , i believe you'd use the stock 3.0cs head gasket not the 2.8 ,fuel pump electric of drill a hole, can also wait for the right head I'm sure there's a 3.0cs one out there
Thanks again for the expert insight and feedback Chris and sfdon.
Thanks for responding with this part. I’m very inverted. Does it need to be machined? What’s the price for this part? Thanks
