Why swap just the head, and not the whole short block as well? Given the twincam setup, you'll need to change out the timing chain; likely need to rework or replace the pistons (compression, stroke, valve pockets) and probably the con rods, possibly the crankshaft. Then there's the whole fuel management system. A whole engine transplant from a donor car that has all the electricals might be less costly.
