RE: Heads
This post wont last long.. this question has endless answers and no one wants to respond by righting a book about head and inake matching... just my oppionion. To answer your question, id get a total power plater. lots of guys make them (edlebrock, ford racing, holly, ect) the power increaces are dyno proven so youll know what your geting with the up grade. not to mention the fact that you can sleep easy knowing that your not losing power because you tryed to cut corners and mix and match parts that dont work well together. The platers come with complet heads rockers and all, compatible cams, upper and lower intakes, exaust headers and even the upgraded fule injectors and pump your going to need with the additional power. If i didnt live in alaska, and i didnt need to drive my mustang in the winter snow, id get the edlebrock total power plater. its rated at 350hp and 350 tq. You can get it in a 50 state street leagle setup if emmisions are a concern, and whats cooler then upgrading your stock block to making that kind of power N/A?? and believe it or not, the total cost will be waaay cheaper then trying to buy it pice by pice. having all the stuff you need makes for one fun weekend with the friends, turning your motor from a sleepy 5.0 to a chevy crusher .. hope i helped

Yeah that is all well and good until you want to put in a bigger cam or something, then guess what, all those parts that came in your platter are not doing what they were intended to do.. I would WAY recommend researching and buying piece by piece, much more efficient for making the kind of power or RPM range that YOU want.. It does take some researching though.
