The answer is yes, you are going to need the front cover intake and all the p-arts other than the shortblock. Keep in mind you will have a slightly lower compression ratio and the early mark intakes and heads are not real power making items. You will end up with about the same as doing a P.I cam and intake swap as far as power at 10 times the cost and headaches of wiring, if you want the 4 valve power look for a complete cobra engine.
