You can heli-coil it for <50 bucks.

ditto on the SVO heads but the price is 900 PER cylinder head. and the intake is even pricier.
don't know much about mmr. racer02gtstang says good stuff about them. i know the modularpowerhouse 2.5 heads are kick *** though

yeah but you have to take the heads off to do this so the shavings don't go into the cylinder. i figure most of that 500 to fix is labor.

The Ford Racing/SVO heads are the best heads...they are not cheap but have more threads in the spark plug well.

well isnt that nice of ford to address their defect with expensive aftermarket heads, first thing you should do is research the class action lawsuit against ford for this issue. apparantly it happens on their triton motors too. id go with MMR heads and VT stage 2 cams while youre at it, if you can afford it, get a forged crank if the NOS will push you near 400HP just to be safe

hmm i did the forging all at once, but i figured the forged crank would be number 1 since the nitrous might push him over 400 with a good tune. just my opinion but the rods and pistons also need to be forged
