yea, that's understandable.
you have to look at the "big" picture.... where do you want the car to end up?
me? i want 800 horse power on pump gas. It was dumb of me to spend money on the stock head's but they needed to be rebuilt and i got a "deal" on the porting. Looking back i should have bought some aftermarket heads. But you live and learn.

Living and leanings the best way haha. Im only 19 so i have alot left to learn. And i dont plan on ever getting rid of this car. So there will be alot that goes in and out and i doubt ill ever find something that i wont want to change.
But like i said i only went to the junk yard because i was bored yesterday, and i thought i struck gold with some gt40s.
Id rather not deal with the spark plug issue, melting wires and melting pistons :P
Thats why i included im not in a rush for the heads, cars running good... at its stock 220 hp...

220 at the crank..... after 200k mile's prob like 200. so your putting like 170 horse to the wheel 
im making alot of power for stock heads. so if you get some good GT 40's, get them worked over (ported and polished, beehive springs with a good spring rate) get a GT40/explorer intake, get the lower part of intake ported. get the intake port matched to the heads. full bolt on's, full exhaust.... ETC.
you will be making good power.
good luck.

Well i got some free heads from my dads buddy because hes a good guy and they had a tiny hole that i had to weld.
No name on them, but the size difference was incredible when i put them in. I love my badd *** sounding car. headers, bbk o/r h pipe flow40s and stock tips
I have a spare set of e7s ( free again ). But i have no interest in building them up if theres something better out there.
And again i am in no rush.
