2.1 head swap on my 1990 SPG? Help, ideas?

Hey,
I've been reading on here about swapping my 2.0 head to a 2.1 head from a 91-93 Naturally Aspirated 900.
I have a local junkyard that has a 91 & 92 900S in their lot with perfect engines. When I saw perfect.. that's from just the sight. They were hit in the rear, and frames were twisted. I'm thinking I could get the 2.1 head from them pretty cheap.
I'm not completely sold on this modification because I don't know too much about it. If it won't work out for me I won't be heartbroken, but if it does work out, I'm sure I would enjoy the benefit.
My questions are...
1) What is the process of swapping my 2.0 liter head to the 2.1 liter head? I'm thinking I just unscrew the bolts, and make sure the gasket is OK when I put the new one on.
2) What performance gains can I expect?
3) What problems can I expect? If any.
I see that a good amount of you have swapped to the 2.1 head on your c900's. If you could give me any advice to send me on my way, or to keep me where I am.. that would be great!
Thanks!
Taylor
