CHEAPEST HEADS EVER, What do yall think?
 
I came across a set of heads in the back of Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords magazine. I need your opinion on them. They are the Aerohead, $399/pair assembled. The specs are as followed:

Select D8OE Castings
3 angle valve job
Bronze wall liners
7 degree locks
Chromoly Retainers
1.90x1.60 valves
.550" lift springs
69cc chamber volume
130cc intake volume
5/16 Pedestal Rocker Mounts standard

What do yall think? Do you think they are worth trying? Will they be good with my stock mustang(except for headers, x pipe, and low/mid cam)? Thanks for any input guys.

This car also needs to run on 93 octane at the most and be my daily driver, please let me know if these heads will affect any of this

These heads sound like a good dea to me. These heads with an explorer intake and a good cam would be a stout budget built 302.

Thanks Dark, thats the info that i was looking for! I apprieciate it.

Those heads will drop your compression a little though I would get them milled about 25 thousanths.

What was a D80E in?

i would just do some home porting on your e7's.. mill em about .020 and maybe install larger vavles, and new springs.

D8OEs were 1978 lo-po castings! E7TEs are better.

Yup, they are definitely low performers. 130cc intake ports are TINY. I would be looking at a GT40P for a budget performance head, they will kill those late 70's heads.
