Default HEAD SWAP

Has anybody heard of doing a head swap from the standard 2V to the newer 3V setup. Have any idea what it would cost how much hp increase can you really expect?

not really worth it, it would be better to go to a 4V if anything

Your biggest problem is going to be in the wiring. The 3v engine uses a variable valve timig system.
