are they the C heads? (check casting on them should have a C somewhere in there)

edit: or a b idk if they are c or B

BlackStang31

it has to be. so if its not b or c them im screwed.
if its not b or c then wat is it then

uhh i think its gotta be one or the other, they have different flow/ intake port just trying to figure out which you have, yes it can be done i'll leave the details to someone with a little more experience with the swap, a few on here have done it.

sweet. so then if its b or c an they have diff flow/intake do they have diff horsepower peaks or same performace

you will need all the cobra timing chains (4), secondary tensiones unless they are already on the heads still, cobra intake manifold (they go for roughly $400-$500 for lower and the hat), cobra intake, (you can use your stock MAF. a cobra throttle cable and cruise control cable, DOHC coil over plugs and will need to lengthen and reverse the polarity of the wires going to your COP's. also a coolant crossover tube and the coolant hoses for a cobra. cobra headers, and larger injectors but dont upgrade the injectors until you go to get it tuned. also a metal piece that goes on the rear of the passanger head for coolant flowing to the heater core. i have one of those for sale that is new. you will also need to get a tune or else it will run too lean at high RPMs.
that is everything that i can think of for now.

what year aviator is it?

well thx for all the help but me the maste rtech at work decided that the heads off the aviator engine had been run with low or no oil for jus long enough to make it a risky decsion for me to take the heads off the engine. ughhh

sounds like a lotta work... but would be worth it...

mustangman36578

deffinately well worth it. the sound of a 4v (especially with longtubes and full exhaust) sounds amazing. lol
