Cheap PI Heads

[85MustGT]

I have a 98 GT, I noticed that Steeda sells the 2003 GT PI heads for $750.00. That is cheap, a set of aluminum heads for my 85 5.0 sells for over a grand!

It says that additional modifications and parts are needed, can anyone be more specific.

You'll want to check to see if they're being sold complete with cams. You'll also need a new intake and gaskets galore. I assume you can use your Romeo valve covers with the '03 heads, but not sure. Oh, also, there's a tube for re-routing the coolant that flows under the new intake that you'll need.

Karkraft.com has a combo deal now on take off PI heads and intake for $480 they claim these are 01+ heads with 20-30,000 miles.

This is a little more expensive, but it's complete. You won't need any other parts.

BTW, your valve covers will work with 03 heads.
