2V SOHC heads are nothing like the 4V DOHC heads. It will not even come close to fitting.

With some flat aluminum bar stock and a CNC mill as well as a lot of programming knowlege it might be done.

like the difference between the 302 and 351w, the 4.6 and the 5.4 the difference is hight and width. you might be able to do it with spacers. check with keny bell and see if they make a supercharger kit for a 5.4 dohc.

No. 2V heads and 4V heads are radically different.

Won't work unless you get the GT cylinder heads. They're completely different than any other DOHC head.
