I think most of the popular heads out there will do what you want to do.

Know that if you go this route you will always have to use ped mount rockers.

isn't stock studmount? ... how much does it usually cost to mill a set of heads? if anyone knows, just trying to generalize some ideas

pedestal mount is stock, if you plan on using stud mount rockers, just find yourself free fox body valve cover and grind out the baffles. this is what I did.

GT40 Y303 heads will reuse all the stock pieces. FRPP has a policy of selling parts that will fit like factory parts.

studmount is what people recommend right, being alot easier ?

The reason I went with stud mount is they are a little stronger, more stable at high rpm, and offer a variable amount of valve adjustment with ease.

They do cost a bit more than ped mount due to needing guide plates and hardned pr's.

They usually will not fit under the stock vc's.

stud mount rockers are definitely not easier. they require quite a bit more work to adjust them properly. in fact, even after following all the guides on how to do it, i always had valvetrain noise and tapping after adjusting the stud mount rockers. the procedure is considerably more complicated (to me at least). i can however adjust pedestal mounts in about 10 minutes with my eyes closed.

This is the website for the guy that built my engine. He specializes in head work though and has his prices listed.
