IIRC they are more restrictive without being worked than a normal 4x4 head. You also have to use a YBP cam cover as the regular Cosworth one has a different bolt pattern on it.

Can they be ported as much as a normal Yb head ?

I think so? There are differences in where your water temp sensors etc go (front of head for the CTS and inside the cam cover for the dash water sensor), so your wiring loom may need modded to suit.
