if anyone ever tells you that they will sell you the heads "off of something"
kindly decline... the only good heads that are take-off's, are GT-40 heads, which will suck *** on a stroker

Thats very true.. In 2 ways either something is wrong with them, or likeADDERMk2 said--- the GT40's will suck on a stroker....
Like i was told when i wanted something clean cut and fast--- (Do it right, and get it yourself not the cheap easy way from someone else)---- Therefore you'll know what you're getting. It's harsh yeah, honestly you'll spend less money in the end just incase something is wrong with a set of take off heads that may cause some damage.. Pay up front - get what you want- tune it- play...

well first i have to get mine apart and get everything mic'd and see if its been bored out already cus at 232k it had crosshatching on all cylinders when i had the heads off last year and it seems that its been balanced. if i stay normal i want to re use my crank, cam and original flywheel and pushrods to cut down on cost but im unsure if its a good idea to do this, especial re using the connecting rods, but the builder said i could. so we are looking at prices on stroker kits compared to stock ones. at this point im pretty confused as to what to do.i have a set of heads off a old falcon i might use since they have adjustable rockers, get them cleaned up worked and install roller rockers i geuss. im thinkn of finding a place that specializes in mustangs cus honestly i dont know what to do with my motor. too many damn choices.
so at .30 over whats the cubic inches? and what about .40 cus my motor is probably already punched out? the first is 306 right?
whats up with cast pistons? and this kit?https://secure.pawengineparts.com/sh...&catid=164
and i geuss this doesnt come with new pistons? https://secure.pawengineparts.com/sh...&catid=659 ? i just want a affordable quality rebuild kit with everything new, maybe pass on the cam and crank to save cash unless this is a really bad idea.
thanks for all the advice from everyone so far. i can use all the input on this i can get.
and im curious with a stroker kit how the motor will run on the stock ecu speed density? and what kinda power to expect. and do i have to upgrade anything for it to run right?

Why are you gonna bother to rebuilding it to stock if you still had the crosshatching. Do you have low oil pressure or compression?

If you want a decent budget build with performance you could reuse your crank, and get a set of decent rods for under $200(like basic Scat i-beams) and put a decent affordable piston in like some Probes, use a basic OTS cam and some GT40 heads plus the basic bolt ons. It'll run real well, won't be anything stellar in terms of performance but will make decent power on a tight budget. If your rods are still in good shape you could even reuse the stock rods. It all comes down to how much you have/are willing to spend.

cool stuff, i dont want to go to a 347 , i want to do a 331. i have heard a 331 is more reliable.
now how come none of the kits specify how much a motor has been punched out for?you know oversized pistons.
also the machine shop guy has heads off a 91f150 302 are these any good?

think of it like this...331 is the same bore as 347,
the 302 has 3.00 in stroker, 331 has 3.25 stroke, thats said to be not too hard on the block and reliable, a 347 has 3.4 stroke, how much more can that hurt really?
piston ring and the wrist pin issue, i have a 331, the srp pistons have a oil support rail b/c they intersect...
