    Definitely cheaper to just buy a 4v then convert a 2v. I priced it when I have my 2v.

    Then I was misled :/ Another friend of mine knew the guy trying to sell me that 4.6 block with internals and apparently the crank was damaged along with a bent rod.... Screw that!!! Back to the drawing board...

    This might be a dumb question but if I were to buy a 4v (cobra DOHC correct?) why would I want/need to convert it to a 2V? I thought I needed the 4v heads so that the supercharger would bolt up correctly? I am fairly new to superchargers so am just trying to weed out the wrong information Ive read/heard.

    I would find a Mark VIII and swap it. They came with 4v heads and are more available than the mustang's.

    I don't know why you'd want a 2v...

    I didn't know if I had to convert back to a 2v based off the previous posts. So the 4v Mark VIII's are basically the same set up as a mustang? As far as heads go?
