allright, well to do some port and polish work on my stock heads would get me by, but if i wanna change my cam there is alot of stuff i would need to change with the heads and get something to convert my rockers to being adjustable...so allready i have about $250 towards new heads...and then i'd still have the stock valve size, so what's the best bet for iron heads??? what's the best manufacturer??Thanks again crew ------------------

Really, your only choice (still in production)is the World products Roush 200 heads. There were some TFS Street Heat heads made in iron several years ago however....
By the time you buy springs, valves and convert the heads to screw in studs and guideplates, you have spent enough to buy the Roush heads.

Mike those GT40p are cheap enough,and seem like good flowing heads better then stock 351w heads.But I've read that headers are hard to find for them.Because they use a different plug angle.I can't find any one who makes headers for a 65 mustang with a 351w with Gt 40-P heads.------------------

The GT40 P heads are better than a stock head. You can get them in a...59.0cc 1.84 In & 1.46 Ex.
65.5cc 1.84 In & 1.54 Ex.
But the Roush 200 heads have greater air flow potential. Thay have... 64cc chambers and 2.02 In & 1.60 Ex I also like the chamber design on the Roush heads better too. Don't get me wrong though. You will be better off with eather choice. The fork in the road here is. How is the engine going to be set up? If you plan on keeping you're engine closer to "stock", and maby a little bigger cam, I'd go with the GT-40 heads. You dont need 2.02/1.60's with a stock or close to stock cam, intake etc... With some porting the Roush heads shouldn't have any problems feeding 302/351 to 7000 RPM's +.

If you have the earlier heads with press in studs, for about $2.00 you can convert them to adjustable rockers! Between the rocker ball and nut, put a couple of washers in between so the nut doesn't bottom out on the stud's shoulder. Then buy an additional nut (5/16" fine thread, I think?) as a lock-nut on top of the existing rocker nut. I ran a .496 lift hydraulic cam (to 6500rpm) for years this way. (and 13.30 1/4 mile times). This was with the rail-style rockers. ------------------

Mike I've seen the 200 heads complete for $839 @ Summit racing.
No I have looked into the Mac headers.I think I'd better off waiting to get the 200 heads anyways.------------------

That way you dont pull out the pressed in stud.
