Type R head swap to an LS bottom

I have a '95 LS, and have heard that putting a Type R head on it adds 50-60hp. I was wondering if this is true, and if so how easy is the install. Also, price???

It would be a LS/VTEC swap.

No this is not true. You need to also build up the bottom end to increase the redline to 8400.

Not to be a jerk, but you are asking this question you shouldn't be doing the install (I can't do it either).

I would like to know what needs to be done to the engine in order to make this swap. If anyone could help out I would greatly appreciate it.
