Head options?

Now that I need new heads im looking for different options. I could go stock. Anyone know how much for a set of stock heads? I could go with sals. Do other tuners offer heads? Is there anywhere I can get heads?

thanks

Here are some pics of my engine build up.

My buildup was done by JDM, but I am sure Johnny and Sal can do heads too. I also had the heads done, along with oversized valves and porting work.

I have a friend that is building a monster mod motor w/4v heads that has very good head flow indiviual massaging his. I can't see why he wouldn't try 2V heads too. You can email him if you want

Redneck,
I emailed John and he said his best suggestion was to buy his 4.6 4V engine and drop that in the truck. I dont think I want to go this route. Oh well, ill see if I can find someone else to port stock heads for me.

just my suggestion here,,, do not pay for cheap machining when it comes to porting the heads,,, there is a big difference between good machining and bad machining, it is wise to find the best shop, not neccesarily the cheapest.

I understand ford has some nice motorsport heads available, a friend of mine is a machinest, and does all that stuff, he said they were good quality...i would take his word for it, he has a gen 1 L and a 10 sec grand national
