Are 2v tensioners the same? If so, I have one you can have for free.

Are you wanting new chains/tensioners or what? Chains honestly I wouldn't worry about running some that have been taken out. But the secondary tensioners I would NEVER EVER reuse. The problem is the glide surface for the chains wear thin and are not replaceable.
I've got a 75k 4v timing setup in my garage you can have cheap with the steel primary tensioners, but I'd highly suggest buying a brand new pair of secondary tensioners. I was going to use this setup on my 2v after I 4v swap it but it won't be for a long time if ever.

I'd say the primary tensioners are the same, but I need the secondary ones that run between the cams in each head.
I'm looking for a set because I pulled my engine to have a shortblock built and while it was apart I bought another set of C-heads with a mild port job and a better set of cams. They had also been decked and had a valve job. With the plans to use them, I offered up my old heads/cams as a trade for a new CDC lightbar and a tonneau cover. While assembling the longblock yesterday, I was looking for the chains/tensioners when it hit me that the heads I had bought didn't have any chains/tensioners on them, but the ones that I traded did. So now i'm without a set.
