he'll need a new block or fly cut pistons....he has hypo pistons now right?
sh*t i always forget that about the 185's. It'd be nice if you could get the 185's with smaller valves.

a intake is a must if you go with good quality heads....or it defeats purpose heads can pulll the air they wantto and the intake cant handle it....but with those too you will add id say 60 plus hp a lil more at fly and another 20-40 at wheels varies from engine to engine..

need to have a plan..165 would work great for your combo now but would be terrible with a s/c over 5psi

went and bought mine off the shelf at local Ford dealer's performance parts shop.

they run about $1,300 + or -, and you should be able to find them in stock easy

not sure youll make 300rwhp without an intake manifold but you will be close.

if you can find some one with afr's in stock (good luck with that) buy from them. afr is on 1 month back order so it will take over a month to get the heads after your order them.

He already has the gt40 intake, the 94/5 cobras have a full gt40 upper end.
