How do you kill a 4AFC? Lord knows i've tried 
Anyway you're also gonna need an EFI setup to complete the conversion and a little wiring knowledge unless you're prepared to pay someone 
I've got a 20v 4AGE waiting in my driveway & i'll be doing a conversion within the next 2 or 3 weeks hopefully.
Stay tuned

Firstly a half cut would be best as you get everything.
Incabin you would need to change to the 4AGE computer, and the instrument cluster due to the extra sensors on the engine, and it looks cooler.
Engine bay: power steering is different, positions of distributer, powersteering, alternator different placement, but come with the engine i guess, brakes need uppgrading, bigger sway bar in the front, and EFI system. Radiator setup is different. Also need to mount igniter module, Need to setup the airbox setup and piping,
Need to drill a few holes for strut bar as it mounts ignition coil.
Not immpossible, but time consuming. If doing yourself, a good SIDCHROME is recommended, and a lot of masking tape

on a budget you could do it under $2k
doing it right would cost $2.5-3k
doing a 20V would cost $2.5-3k if you got good prices and do EVERYTHING yourself

100kw is ya best bang for buck, and easiest swap
2K aint that much for double your current power!!

If you get the a half-cut, its as simple as a swap. I am in the final stages of replacing my 4A-FE with the -GE and i have no mechanic skills or anything. Just look at one and place in same spot on other.
