Default cylinder head swap

I have a 96 mustang gt. I was wondering if it is possible to swap the cobra's heads with the gt's. I know you'll need the cams to go with it. But are the bolt patterns the same and would they fit?

It works, and it's really not that much trouble. I just finished the swap on my car, and cranked it over last night. I still have some vacuum lines to fab up and other minor ****, but it runs. It doesn't idle at all, but that's cause of my cams.

I have some I need to sell quick! I bought my cobra a month ago and it threw a rod on my way home. I bought a new motor and paid a $1100 core charge. The rod blew a hole in my block so they will only give me $250 back on the core. I leave in 25 days with the Air Force so I would like to sell quick. PM me if you are interested. Thanks.
