Default Head Swap From a 2v to 4v Anybody have any Ideas

I am the owner of a 97 mustang gt and wondering if I swap the cylinder head on my car with maybe a cobra head per-say with 4v per cylinder is it possible? More importantly would I have too change other parts as a result of a head swap. Thirdly dose anybody know how much hp I would gain or torque Thanks for replies

Im actually planning on doing the same thing on my 03 GT. I think it would be worth it, but im sure many will say just go buy a Cobra. Its really up to you and how much you want to spend. I know that a built aluminum forged bottom end, ported heads, cams, FR500 intake, and all the other 4V components will cost me over 12K, but I love my car and want to keep it but just change the motor...
