P/I heads and cams

P/I heads and cams where from?

I have a 97GT with just under 82,000 miles on the clock. I've been debating on how to go about doing the PI swap and where to get the parts. I'd rather start with new parts if possible. I've found that you can get new complete stock PI heads for about $330 online. I'd also like to get a set of cams to throw in place to get more umph outta it beings I'm going that far into a swap and don't want to have to do it again.

Would it be cheaper to get the new heads, buy the cams and install that way? or is there heads you can get that have like VT stage 1 or 2 cams already in them? I do prefer the sound of the VT 2 if those will work good for N/A. I'm still learning things about the motors but gaining it over time. Any help is appreciated.

Where has everyone bought there heads and cams from?

I searched the forums and found my intake manifold and heads. I have spent
$455 shipped for Heads+Intake Manifold. I am going to take the heads to a machine shop and have them checked out. I hope to spend around $800 when all said and done provided the heads dont need work. Does anyone know any good machine shops in Kansas City. :SNSign: :Teh-Win:

That doesn't sound like a bad price. I'm a little leary on getting things used cause I've ran across one too many different pieces that were bad.

I was almost thinking about getting the heads and intake new from ford... buying a set of cams and installing them that way. Possibly getting them ported and polished from a machine shop in town if that's possible and not spend $2000 for heads alone.
