12V vs. 24V cylinder head

Hi all,

I'm working on a project for a class, where I'm trying to do an airflow study using the CAD model of the cylinder head to define my flow paths and areas. I have sort of already committed myself to doing a 12V cylinder head because I thought I had a CAD model for that head available. Now I find out that the CAD model is actually for the 24V.

My question is, can anyone tell me the differences in the air flow passages between the 12V and the 24V cylinder head, or at least point me in the right direction so I can find the information. Is the portion of the cylinder head from where the air enters the head the same on both heads?

I'm sort of bummed because I was hoping that I could find some worthwhile improvements that I could make to the OEM intake manifold that may be a cheaper alternative to the Banks Twin Ram intake. But if the cylinder heads are vastly different, then I don't know if improvements made using the 24V will transfer to the 12V.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
