I don't think its possible.. I've read walk-through of one of these conversions before and the guy completely swapped the engines in their entireity. If it was possible to swap the heads alone to get the benefit that would have made it so much easier. I could be wrong though.

But luckily, the engine blocks are essentially the same, you would need to get a few different mounting points welded in though. I think there's a guy on here putting a 24v V6 into a 75, he'd be a good person to talk to.

It will be awesome when its finished
