Lightbulb Needing some help.... opinion on PI heads

Hey I have a 1998 ford f150 with a 4.6L 2v, I purchased a set of Pi heads and an intake for dirt cheap in hope to one day install them on the f150 for greater HP, mentally preping the install i realize that installying them would mean that i would totally have to modify the EGR valve tubing due to the PI intake being a lot closer to the block. would it be better to just sell the PI heads and intake( very easily) and then port and polish the stock intake and heads? or take the time and effort to install the PI heads? any help is wonderful! thanks!

The car intake is useless in a truck, as the loss of low end torque will very noticeable. You can use your truck Npi intake with the PI heads.
