swapping heads

I read on a Capri site that a guy had put a set of vulcan heads on a 2.8 Cologne motor. Is this possible, and are there any benefits?

If it was possible, I'd want a set of 4.0 liter fastburn heads.

swapping heads

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 01-Oct-02 AT 06:35 PM (EST)]No way in hell did a set of "Vulcan" heads
bolt onto a Cologne 2.8L, the bore spacing
is *WAY* off, like nearly half an inch,
plus the bore is smaller in the Vulcan, and
the valves are smaller too. If it was a Capri
site, let me have it...

On the swap note, I'd like to have a set
of the SOHC heads from the 4.0L, just to
play with, you know...

I can't seem to find it... it detailed how the guy ended up spending thousands on his engine, after each modification overstressed another component, and it would have to be replaced.

He ended up throwing 3 thousand pounds into the engine, just for the repairs...
