Okay long time no talk,but I would like some opinions.I purchased a set of f3zeaa gt 40 heads heads,with ford blue 1.6 Rollers,f-303 bump stick,BBK 65mm TB,looks to be a aftermarket cobra upper with exploder lower with spacer (no ect hole) for 500.00 bucks.The heads have two bent valves in each head #4 and#8 cylinder, was told because of timing chain failure. Anyhow my 93 is stock except for 4.10 gears cross pipe with flows and MSD and T-5.I was planning on this budget setup for the street,my question is should I use the heads?I don't mind putting a couple hundred in the heads,but need to find out what cc they are,should I shave them if they are stock height say 15 thou or so my info seems to say 60.6 to 63.6 chamber size with a 155 runner,not sure,should I go with new roller lifters or use old ones which I have both sets from mine and what came with cam? what about intake and spacer,do I use them? I know I have to install ect sensor.I like this setup because it is bolt on and go ,but is it worth it or just start from scratch with all new stuff,I don't expect to run tens just to have a good street motor,PLEASE give me your FEEDBACK because I'm just burnt out on this ,I know there are better heads ect, but I think I can make this work with my budget thanks and Happy new year.

That would be a very nice, streetable combination. Probably 240-250 to the wheels.
