Lightning heads ???

[deftsound]

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?

 

[RandyStinchcomb]

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

 

[deftsound]

so you wouldnt gain any power in other words

 

[fastangboi]

Identical heads.

so why the hell would someone put lighning heads ona 4.6 block

only ones to benefit would be 96-98 doing a PI swap.

because that person is retarded. I had somebody suggest to me to swap out my heads for 5.4 heads once.

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

Same heads dude. 5.4 and 4.6 2V are same

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.
