Its gonna be more than you want to do, it would be easier (maybe cheaper) to buy a 4v motor, harness, and ECU. You can google it and it will more than likely bring up some results from this site.

Yeah.
The 4v Heads won't properly fit a 2v cylinder block(which is too small I believe). Your better off buying a 4v Motor like 35th said.

Like Sxynerd says, the heads are direct bolt on's, but that is the easy part. $$$$$

THE HEADS DO FIT ON THE BLOCK!!. The engine will be low compression though. You need fuel rails,injectors ,wiring ,ecu ,mass air ,2 secondary timing chains ,2 secondary cam gears 2 secondary timing chain tensioners, 32 valves ,32 springs ,32 retainers 64 keepers the intake manifolds, and throttle cable thats all I can think of off the top of my head.
