TBH the only things you need off an XR2i is the top end of the engine so unless it was dirt cheap it's probably uneconomical.

I'm unsure mate, I bet it is the same as one of them! Anyone have any idea?

my xr3i has a standard head modified by myself with a drill and dremel mini grinder - using a efi inlet gasket as a guide , remove material at the top of the port for the injectors - you do not need to remove the material as far up as the gasket , just enough to accept the injectors
You have to be very carefull. I found a fantastic article the other day:
http://www.pumaracing.co.uk/CVH.htm
I think it was that one and it defined what heads can be modified for what. And I did read that some heads have water ways running through the parts of the head where you have removed metal.
Just something to note really, you can as you rightly say remove metal, but I personally wouldn't when a CVH EFi head is so easy to come by.
