Default Cobra head swap

How hard would it be to swap the heads and supercharger of a 04 cobra onto my 96. I was thinking about doing this but i dont want to get over my head. what are some things ill need to do to make this swap work. And is it worth doing.
Thanks

They are not the same heads the ports going to the intake are diffrent. so in order to put the 04 supercharger on i would need to do a head swap to.

ahhh, seems like a pricey swap. might be cheaper to just build your motor and slap a kb supercharger on it. i was just looking at 03-04 motor prices on ebay, not cheap!

$2k for the stock eaton and heads? wow. I hope more is included for that price, because there are a hell of a lot more things you will need than just the supercharger and heads. If thats the best deal you can find on those parts, at least double to triple that cost to put together the rest of the crap you are going to need.

your better off going aftermarket. The heads are good heads but the supercharger is crap. If you can cut a cheaper deal with the heads you can grab FRPP's variable geometry intake or 99-01 cobra intake (or just slap on an aftermarket supercharger). It's too much money/time/effort to be left with less performance than possible. JMO
