so u are just swapping out the stock heads and stock intake for a good head/intake?

what about throttle body,maf,inj's do u plan on any nos or boost or just want a little more power for your stang?

if yes the street heat would work well for a dd and the heads will get u a nice little bump in horsepower i would throw on some 1.7 roller rockers while your doing it along with a 65 mm throttle body which will make for a much more crisp,responsive throttle response.

no special tools needed to change the roller rockers , u also have to decide which kind of setup u want. and if u are buying new rr's i would get the heads with studs. unlike stock which are pedestal the stud mounted rockers are suppose to be a stronger setup with more stability the more rpm's

and to your other question u asked me about the cam change yes u will have to pull the intake ,water pump,timing cover,balancer,alternator,ps,timing chain and gears so if u can i would shell out an extra 200-300 and replace the cam and timing chain and gears

keep us posted and shoot me or others a pm if u have troubles[8D]
