I heard someone talkinga bout putting 5.4 lightning heads on his 4.6l 2v engine, is this possible? Also what kind of gains would you see from doing something like this?

5.4 or 4.6 heads are the same design, only differences are Windsor vs Romeos and PI vs Non-Pi

would it be remotely possible to put 4v heads on a 2v motor?

yes but it would be a nightmare to-do/swap, you'd be better-off just getting a complete DOHC engine. + all the other parts needed todo a 2V to 4V swap is $$$, exhaust system, coolant system, air intake, engine harness(s) and PCM just to name a few

And by the time you get all of it and do the swap, you'll be asking why didn't I just get a cobra to begin with.

Unless it's a 5.4dohc.
