i belive there is more to a head swap than that. do a search on the site and you shall find crazy amounts of info on it like what years match up to every thing else what you need blah blah blah.

i have seached and found the info for the head swap i just wanted to kno if it was VVTi or not.

It wouldnt be VVTi if it is an older model GTE, assuming it does has something.

If it has anything, its TVIS, the predecesor to VVT and VVT-I.

The 3SGE has TVIS, but you cant swap heads with the FE, if thats what your planning on doing, the valve clearence is different. would work.
