Default Converting SOHC 2V to DOHC 4V

I'm kinda interested in swapping the heads in my car. Just wondering if anyone could give me a price estimate. I dont know a whole lot about the topic so any input would help. THANKS MUCH

it's not that easy, your better off finding a "donor car" as its not just about the heads, you'll need a complete intake, exhaust system, coolant system, air intake system, computor and wiring harness's....

Absolutely, just do a complete transplant. Makes a lot more sense...

Or, given the prices for used Cobras and Mach 1's, just trade in the whole car.

More price effective by far.

See I knew there was a good reason I belonged to this forum. Ive learned alot since I joined. Thanks for your advice. I guess just a supercharger will have to be enough.
