There are no 4v/2v heads for the FE.

The D2TE's would have hardened exhaust seats for unleaded gas, so you're probably better off sticking with those.

Unless those heads are something special, they would not improve anything.

Not sure about the compression either - might be worse (depending on what you want, what cam you have, etc).

If the engine was rebuilt, there is a better than even chance that hardened valve seats were put into the older heads then. Performance wise the heads are identical.
