A good number of the posts I read in here regarding cylinder head upgrades usually revolve around limited budgets and the best affordable head alternatives such as iron GT40s vs. ported E7s, or GT40 vs. GT40p. For anyone that's interested, here's a question I would like to pose regarding Windsor-based cylinder heads, partly for fun and partly out of genuine interest.
If money were no object, which cylinder heads would you buy for your SN95 build?
Of course, a question this big can't be asked without some detailed qualifiers attached. Here are the restrictions and limitations:

Of course, a question this big can't be asked without some detailed qualifiers attached. Here are the restrictions and limitations:
- Windsor engine build for an SN95 with associated SN95 hardware restrictions.
- Naturally aspirated only.
- The vehicle application is street/strip, with mostly street driving, and has to be
capable of being used as a daily driver. - The stock ECU has to be used, but it can be tuned.
- 3.55 or 3.73 rear gears with MT, but doesn't necessarily have to be a T5.
- Intake manifold and camshaft can be specified to match the cylinder head selection.
- H or X pipe with cats in order to keep it street legal, but the rest of exhaust can be changed up to match the HCI selection.
(Please let me know if there are any other things that I missed which need to be spelled out here.)
To keep this even more interesting, it would be great to hear what you would choose for the following engine combinations:
5.0 / 302, 331 (stroker), 351, and 427 (351 stroker)
