Short answer: Yes

You would have to replace the heads, timing cover, intake, throttle body, air ducts, alternator, PCM, and the wiring harness. I'm not sure exactly what else you may have to replace though.

Cool, thanks we have a 2v motor from a junk yard, n they wouldnt take it back, so its been sitting for a year, and we put it in the papers a couple times and it didnt sell , we even have a AODE tranny for it, and ,my dad was thinking of putting it in his mint 87 turbo coupe, and pick up a ford/lightnig supercharger for it off ebay, (theres aways a stock take off on the for less then $1000)... He loves his Turbo Coupe but wants more power...

Anyone, can you tell us every part we need, Thanks
Also what are some flow numbers too 4valve heads?

not a waste of money my dads doing some work for a junk yard owner and while at the junk yard checking out his car he needs fixxed, i was in the building and seen aset of 4v heads and, asked him about them, and he said he would give us them if my dad repainted his whole car,(my dad already was reparing and painting 3/4ths of then car, it would only take my dad 3-6 more hours and $50 worth of paint and we get the heads for free
