I have a set of D8OE heads laying around, if I were to P&P those would it be better then my e7's? I would also have them milled as well. I have to strip down my engine and do the new gasket thing so I am looking at putting on these heads.

Don't waste your time with those heads. They have very large combustion chambers and EGR bumps.

There are no EGR bumps in them, that's why I thought they would be ok. I am also going to mill them to lower the CC's. BTW I currently have stock everything else. If I had a cam to go with some heads I wouldn't bother. I am just looking for something inexpensive over the E7's.

Unless someone grinded them out they are definately there. I have a set sitting in my garage right now. They are actualy so huge that they are atached to the valve guide boss. Plus you will lose about 1 point of compression with them because of their 69cc combustion chambers. Unless you are running a supercharger or turbo they realy are worthless.

You should do the porting and mill the deck on a set of stock e7 heads before you should use the D8 IMO
