4 cam heads from a 164 mated to a 3.0 motor ?

Hey,
As I attempt to restore a GTV6 to perhaps A- condition (I cant afford to create a museum piece)... I have a rust-free body with a 3.0 motor from a Milano. Eventually I would like to add a pair of performance headers for some extra HP. And am also considering mating a set of 4 cam heads from a 164 (if it seems a realistic endeavor).
Has anyone attempted the head swap?? I expect that the distributor location and some other solvable problems will arise... so my initial question is this:
With the new heads in place, is there still enough clearance for the hood to close? Or will the hood need to be altered to accomodate a possibly taller engine package?
Any other tips on this mod that you may have from your own experience would be appreciated, as well.
Cheers,
Peter
