RE: Using your head. . .
Sadly no company offers an aftermarket 4.6 heads. One of the reasons is the stockers are well made and when ported flow half decent.
Ford does have another head besides the PI, the FRPP/SVO head is the best 2V head but are expensive. They flow about the same as a mild ported PI head and when ported can flow up to 280cfm but they are expensive.
You can send your heads to any of the big places to be ported.
www.vtengines.com
www.modularpowerhouse.com
www.steenracing.com
all these will port your heads or you can just sell yours for 350-400 dollars and buy complete heads with upgraded valves/springs. Expect to gain 20-40 hp as long as you have cams/headers and free flowing intake mods etc.
