2V to 4V headswap

stangt00 · 03-03-2003, 08:33 PM

Lets just say I was lucky enough to come across a set of 01 cobra heads. The big thing is, what other parts, other than intake stuff, will I need to make these heads work?

You mean other than, intake, headers, computer, ignition, wires, MAF?

Um, maybe a new trans.

U really think the Trans? I can see it putting out that much more power to require a trans. Actually, I was asking more along the lines of like the crankshaft, and other internal parts. The externals are a given. All in all, its porbably not worth the $ for the gain. Or is it?

No crank, since the displacement is the same.

The trans is weak, if you run slicks it may go at the track.

Tranny should be fine... 98 and 99 had the T45.

new crank maybe?

I dont think it would be worth the gain. For the time effort and money you would put into a head swap you could damn near go with a power adder.

Not worth it. Many people before have had the same idea, but since figured that its not a wise investment of time, money, or other resources.
