You don't need AFR 205 heads to make a 347 produce a crapload of power, unless you plan on turning 7,000rpm or more, it'd run a lot better on the street with AFR 185's and produce nearly the same peak power, againunless you want to make power over 7,000rpm

Hey buddy I soldthose heads to your little brother and then some fool takes out his Mustang in a wreak. You inherited the heads but that's when you were just looking to put them on a 306 in block. They served me well but in your application of a 331-347 they will not cut it. Now go out and call Woody order you a motor and get you some AFR's 185 and call it a day. Oh yeah get a good intake and headers and you will be good to go. How in the heck do you expect to spend $7k under the hood and put GT-40's on it. Your horsepower expectations are low if you are going to with a stroker and perhaps a power adder. Hey come to think of it that's my old 86 that I sold you back in the day. We never did the title work...go head and fix er up. I will call and ask for a replacement title and cops at the same time. When I get the 92 going again we will need to line them up. Get better heads than the GT-40's

WTF are you doing? What do you want to hear? What will it take for you to make up your mind and let this thing die?

1995mustang818 gave great advice. Follow it and let this thread die.
