Head Swap 2V to 4V
Possible? I've dug and dug and can't find any reference to it being done aside from entire engine swaps, so I'm thinking no?

It's doable. It requires a large list of swap parts though.

Awesome. Thanks, guys. This isn't something I'd do anytime soon, but I think it'd make a good project and help me lay down some decent n/a rwhp.

Now I just gotta find these parts, and from the looks of it, I'll have to get them from an assortment of websites.

Just buy the new trick flow 195 heads. No part hunting or all the other bs. You will make more power with the trick flow heads any way

I'd imagine machined and cammed 2V heads would outperform the 4V, but what about machined and cammed 4Vs? Also, the dual cam would allow for more precise tuning, imo.
