Default 205 AFR heads

I have an opportunity to obtain a set of AFR heads (205cc)...I would like to put them on my 86 coupe which has a 91 mustang replacement engine in it that is in stock form. The car is a 5spd with mass air.The questions I have:

1. Will these heads workor are the 205's too big for a stock motor with stock injectors?

2. If these heads will work...What do you all think would be a good cam to go with these heads?

3. What kind of hp should I expect?

4. Any need to change to larger injectors?

Thank you all for your valued input!

They are too much for a stock engine.
The pistons must be modified for the large intake valves.

Good choice on heads, but I have lil experience with fuel injection, stock motor and good heads. If you can get them for a good deal and they are too much for your combo right now....hold on to them until you're ready. Just my .02

Even if you have no plans to go to a stroked motor, get them, clean them up and sell them on ebay....make some nice money!

if you have to ask about injectors, honestly, im not being mean, you wont need 205's.
anything 205 belongs on, you will have some pretty decent motor knowledge.
im not being mean or picking on you, we all started off with no knowledge at all.
you will need atleast 331 cubic inches for a 205, and even then if you didnt spin it to 8K rpms then it would be a little over kill, just a hair depending on the cam, now dont take the little over kill part to heart, i have not used those heads, its just from what i have heard, not experience.

Thanks all for your input….very helpful!! My reply to you 94 Lincoln is I simply asked a question. I think it is quite obvious that I am not an experienced engine builder. Your commentary is not useful pertaining to my motor knowledge. I am well aware of the situation. That's why I am asking questions.I’m new to this site and have enjoyed the posts from others which have been very educational. Perhaps your commentary should be contained to subject matter not judgments on what questions a person should ask. I’m not trying to be mean…but you will run more people away from this site with you commentary than just helping them with their problems which is what makes this site far and above better than other forums.
