Headswap questions

Yes it is worth it. Run a search on the headswap......That will give you a parts list. Be sure and get a good service manual and use it...........You should see a 50 HP increase. Think about porting/polishing the heads before you install them.....

check these graphs hell yeah it is worth it. Red is before blue is after.

The red is after the tune. now I sit at 241.5hp and 282.9tq at the wheels.

you will need the following

Head, intake, and exhaust manifold gaskets
head bolts just get the arp studs they are reuseable
front cover gasket
If you use windsor heads you will need valve covers and gaskets, dipstick tube and bigger front cover bolts.
you can get the headgasket kit from ford for about 100 bucks it comes with gaskets and head bolts.
The price on heads varies so much I have no idea.
VT has some good cams for about 600 bucks. The bullit intake is basically your choice it is good for small gains but is pricey.

My baseline dyno is 100% stock down to the filter. I put PI heads intake and cams in and left everything else alone and gained 40hp to the wheels. Get a good tune also I went from 229hp and 277tq to 241.5hp and 282.5tq. It really doesnt sound like much but it broadened the curves out so much that at 6000rpm I have about 19hp and 20tq more.
