Several people confirmed to me offline that what I suspected is true--a 2V 
intake can have some benefits on a 4V head, but the gross port mismatch of a 4V 
intake on a 2V head would be terrible UNLESS the head was deeply ported to 
match the contour of the 4V intake manifold port--which might be possible but 
likely would be more expensive than just buying a proper intake to begin with.
