Default Heads

Are there any other heads than the PI that will fit on a '99 4.6 and make more HP than the PI's without changing anything else?

Nobody makes heads for our cars except Ford...the best option for you is to get a set of stock PI heads ported by a reputable shop such as VT Engines or Fox Lake or Modular Powerhouse.

So if I port the heads, they can go back on the motor with no other modifications?

Default RE: Heads

yes your stock heads will go back on after being ported with no modification....you will need new head gaskets and head bolts...you can buy a Ford Racing head changing kit for @ $100 with all that stuff in it.

Yo will gain most likely @ 20hp from P&P's heads but it will allow you to run st 2 cams and LT's and get the most of them.

Either get your stockers ported and polished, or buy some new ones through vt and sell your old heads to a 96-98 gt owner.
