As far as heads go, right now I think that there are 3 options for 98 owners:

1. Port and polish our old heads
(Good for about 30 horse)
2. Use 99-00 heads...
(It is possible, but it looks like its much more than a bolt-on deal, with several parts needing to be changed/modified)
3. Buy the Ford SVO heads
(At around 1400 dollars for both heads, its expensive, but looks to be a pretty straight forward mod. I do believe the computer gets a new chip for this. I don't know the exact hp gain, I think its around 60 horses. It's detailed in SVO's catalogue)

If you are near stock, I would be looking at other, less expensive, more bolt-on type mods. But if you think you and your car are ready for it, my choice would be the SVO heads.
