use a b7 belt
i recommend a mls head gasket as well.

mls head gasket is just the material not the thickness
mls mean multi layer steel
as opposed to a graphite or a single layer steel head gasket
get a z6 head gasket and shave the new a6 head .020
and get an adjustable cam gear :thumb:
why are you swapping heads if you have an a6 head just take that cam and put it in the b7 head
