Check out some of the SVO aluminum heads from FoMoCo.


I prefer factory parts.

Agreed, if you went through teh trouble making a 408, why would you stick patriots or 'pro-comp's on there..

It depends on your cam/gear/intake setup.

i have afr 225's on my 408

i'd love to be able to rave about how great they are but since they ate the t-shirt all progress has stopped.

AFR sent the wrong replacement valves and the correct ones are on a world tour with the Olympic torch or something...its been 2 months[:@]

I will say the 225s are race application and i think they will be too much on a street engine.
I will also add that AFR's dont helicoil the bolt holes for your headers and they are very soft.
