notice the 64cc chambers. this will lower your comp ratio a bit. What are your plans, and then buy yours heads aand cam accordingly. Do not skimp on this step. I did, and that is why i am looking to get a set of AFRs for my stroker.

well, the plans are a turbo (do it yourself) so the lowercompression shouldn't cause a problem

so is it true I can get a PAIR of alum. heads for $400???

Based off the prices of the Twisted Wedges above the GT40's... I would say it may be one BARE head even. No springs or valves. Just seats and guides.

bah, it said "heads" though!

GroverDill: Y heads do not suck...they are better than the original GT-40's. With some minor porting to the exhaust side they are just as good as the GT-40X heads. The Y heads are ideal for stock cam and a GT-40 style intake...Sure there are better heads for the money but don't confuse the price with performance. Remember a smaller head is not a bad head...just look at the AFR 165's...after all you got them.

i just had my exhuast side ported out for 75 on my e7's , waiting to see if it makes a difference. blew a head gasket, lost quite a bit of compression, looking for 25hp increase with port job and compression back

Dude , just go to Mustangs Unlimited and get fully assembled Twisted Wedge Heads for $995 and then you will have top quality Heads on your car. When people start cutting corners when building there cars they end up spending more money in the long run b/c the car turns out to be not what they wanted. Building cars costs money, the cheeper the parts you buy the less preformace you will get from it, its just that simple.
