Head rebuild
 

While I have my stocker heads out to port them ... what should i rebuild them with... What size roller rockers.. Not sure what the 1.6 will do verse the 1.7 as in conflict with the piston.. like I said.. I'm a fool with the car.. what kind of valve spring... valve.. are nre pushrods a good idea ??

If the valves aren't worn I'd just clean them up a bit, if they are I'd got witha low end set of Manley valves. As far as springs go you could go with a dual spring setup for a bit more open/close pressure. What cam are you running? If stock go ahead with 1.7's they'll give you .33(.477) lift, and be a bit more agressive, with no interference.
Just buy a set of Ford Mtrsprt pushrods for you application.

You can go w/ the 1.72 if you don't plan on a cam change.
At least the 1.7's though.
Get rid of the thermactor bump, clean the exhaust side and do some bowl work.
Are you doing the work yourself???port work and R&R....If your paying for it then get a set of used iron gt-40's.(i've seen 'em for $300...but not p's)
You can pick up some decent power from the stock heads, but if your paying someone to do it, it's not worth it.
If it's just a few hours and dirty fingernails for a couple days then hell yeah.
I would do mine if i were confident enough.
Oh yeah...and a good valve job..maybe polish them while your at it.
But instead.....i gotta wait.
