TorontoJohn said:ya I am staying NA. I can order the aluminum heads complete for about $700(or about $900 Canadian). That is a lot cheaper then the 1500 the tfs heads cost here, bare!
I am going to be changeing the rocker cover gaskets so I figured I might as well do the head, water pump and intake gaskets while I am at it. Then I figured if I am doing the head gaskets, why not get new heads? Saying that I don't want to spend an arm and a leg for them. I am not all that concerned about going fast, if I wana go fast I can take my bike out!
Well thats just it, if you read his post he said he got his brand new for $850. If you are not into going that fast, but want something a bit faster, have your stock ones ported and save yourself alot of money. If you want aluminum heads, wait a bit and buy the TFS's on Ebay or from a private seller here on stangnet. That is what I did and I got them NIB for a darn good price with the upgraded springs! $50 more to go with a set of heads you have heard good reviews from, and you know is one of the best on the market... I say have a bit of patience or have the stock ones ported. Have fun!TorontoJohn said:A good set of heads for $900 after exchange and all works out to 1300 or so. 1300 for a used set of heads that I don't know how they have been treated or if they are any good.
I could buy the set of Aluminum heads, complete, and new, and pay $800. But again, I havn't heard many reviews on World heads.
But again, I built this car myself, that is the only reason I am keeping it. I would like to make it a little quicker but as I said if I want to go fast I jump on my bike. So I don't care about spending an arm and a leg on a set of heads...especially used ones.
True but it never hurts to try. One thing I was going to do with a seller from the msg board here on a set of heads was COD. If the seller wants it sold they will do it. Shipping can be kind of a pain, but there is ways to make it easier. Everything gets shipped, so you just have to find the easiest way! Just a few suggestions. Hope this helps!TorontoJohn said:I was planning on using the stock heads to learn how to port...
I am skepitcle about buying things on Ebay, or from a msg board. Not saying that the people of this and similar sites are dishonest, but you always have a few bad apples. I have heard good things about buying things on ebay, but I have also heard bad. One girl I know was ripped off for $500. How do I know that won't happen to me?
Then you have the shipping issues. A lot of ebay sellers will not ship to Canada.
