Head Swaps

B/C A RealCarCostsTooMuch · February 7th, 2008, 11:38 PM

It seems from what I've read Cobra and Lincoln Mk VIII heads aren't worth the trouble compared to a PI swap. Is this right?

MustangMatt96GT · February 7th, 2008, 11:42 PM

4V is completely different than 2V. and instead of making stupid posts, pm the ppl selling the items.

B/C A RealCarCostsTooMuch · February 7th, 2008, 11:56 PM

Sure, how?

OF course the 4 valve heads are different, but they can be used, right? Just curious if 4 valves wouldn't breath better than 2.

And really, are the posts that stupid?

truedeath · February 7th, 2008, 11:58 PM

you pretty much needa whole donor 4v to make it work. easier just to swap the 4v in imo.

NMR-2vGT · February 8th, 2008, 12:00 AM

Ya, you need a lot more than just the heads, if you get the right 4v heads it would be worth it. Just alot of time.

B/C A RealCarCostsTooMuch · February 8th, 2008, 12:03 AM

Gotcha.

Like the white zombie/black sunshine reference.

B/C A RealCarCostsTooMuch · February 8th, 2008, 12:05 AM

I figure you would need the heads, timing gear, timing cover, intake, and exhaust manifolds. Would there still be a lot more to it? Like computer issues, etc?

NMR-2vGT · February 8th, 2008, 12:13 AM

You would have computer issues yes.

B/C A RealCarCostsTooMuch · February 8th, 2008, 12:15 AM

I see, thanks.

RandoGT · February 8th, 2008, 12:28 AM

it's not worth the time and money. might as well get a Cobra

MikeD05GT · February 8th, 2008, 10:48 AM

your posts arent stupid btw...this forum is full of them anyway and noone should be talking!!!!

B/C A RealCarCostsTooMuch · February 8th, 2008, 02:59 PM

I didn't think it was that stupid either, not to talk trash about anyone else, but I've read far stupider (new word).

I know the 4V head swap has been grought up before. Has ANYONE actually attempted it?

Not that it really matters, it's clear that the 2V PI heads can be made to work about as well at far less cost.

NMR-2vGT · February 8th, 2008, 03:05 PM

I dont know if anyones done it on a npi car but i know a guy or two on here have done it to a PI car.

MikeD05GT · February 8th, 2008, 03:30 PM

honeslty IMO dont waste ur time with 4v heads...i think that is so stupid...just buy a 4v motor...just get ur pi shit and bolt on some goodies and u will shit urself for a little until u save up for F/I.....

Reason I said it was because he flat out said that he was going to make stupid posts til he had 10 to get in the classifieds.

B/C A RealCarCostsTooMuch · February 8th, 2008, 08:27 PM

Yes, I did say that. But that doesn't mean this was a stupid post/question, does it?

MustangMatt96GT · February 9th, 2008, 12:16 AM

not nessisarrly. But if you say u already know that your going PI heads, then that would make this a Stupid Topic.

B/C A RealCarCostsTooMuch · February 9th, 2008, 03:11 PM

Look, this is silly. Yes, I am PLANNING on doing the PI head swap. So, in planning this, I figured this was the time to get some input from people who know.

If it's such a stupid topic, then why be part of it?

I'm just a new member asking for some advice and thought I'd apologize up front IF a post seemed stupid or redundant............
