Stock heads?

Ok I've got a '90 lx 5.0, I just bought a '95 5.0 to swap in. Im wondering if there is a differance in the heads? Horsepower differances?

yes, you lost 10hp by doing that and you got hyperutectic cast pistons now instead of the forged pistons.

As far as the heads, nope...same heads, E7TE's.

Yep, and you got a smaller upperintake off of the Thunderchicken which lost you some power.
