Default Swap or conversion?

I've been thinking about finding a 4V engine and swapping it into my car but I was wondering what's less costly and more worth it.

4V engine swap?
Or 4V head conversion?

I was also wondering what all is needed to swap 4V heads on to a 2V 4.6 in the way of engine parts.

If it's cheaper for the 4V swap to get the same power I may just have to buy an engine.

Default RE: Swap or conversion?

They'll both cost you about the same, getting the engine will be easier as you don't have to fab much up. Your better off buying a built block and supercharger as it'll come out to the same as a 4v swap and you'll end up with more power.
