might be in the market for some new heads here soon if i can get the cash flow right. i've got a reworked 289 and i'm just not happy with it. the heads were the only thing we didnt change during the rebuild. i'm wanting something that won't kill my wallet (preferably less than $1300) and that will be pretty much a bolt on without having to change anything else. any ideas?

I had trickflow and sold them to upgrade to the AFR 185s, I was very happy with the Trick Flows but I wanted to sqeeze as much power as I could from my new motor so I switched. Either one you will be happy with.

You can get a good deal on used heads, I sold my TF's for $900.

If you're on a budget, shop for used heads. I've run across several sets of Edelbrock RPMs and Ford Racing X & Y 303's for $600-800 lately.
