Hi-po have the very same porting as stock heads..they have screw-in studs and cast-in valve spring seats...that's the only differance. I'd go with GT-40 cast iron if you are on a budget.

+1 the gt40 are a great buy and are found cheaply on 96-97 5.0 explorers and the gt40p's are found on 98-01 5.0 explorers but requires special headers
