Best head choice for present and future?
 

I've blown a head gasket in my 5.0 and need to repair it. I was planning to replace the
engine with a stroker 331 or 342 at the beginning of next year. What head would you
choose to place on the car now, that would work good with a street stroker in six
months? It's mostly street drive with some 1/8 mile strip action. Check sig for current
combo.

------------------
89GT-AOD-2400stall-3.73-lakewood-kyb-edelbrock 2.5rpm/x-pipe-1 5/8 heddmen-msd
6al/coil-cobra intake-65mm tb-73c&l-adj reg/gauge-6lb powerdyne

A good set of aluminum heads that will flow well with the stroker.

TFS TW's-$1000 flow 255/195 approx @ .550
AFR 185 -$1300 flow 265/195 approx @ .550
Canfield-$1300 flow 260/195 approx @ .550

The AFR's and Canfields really kick arse above .550, where the TFS level off some.

12.564@118.49 on street tires is my best so far. Still untuned

Thanks SaleenGTS, I was thinking about the AFR's. Will the larger valves work ok on a stock piston and will I have enough bottom end torque.

They should...the TW's do.

grab a set of afr 185 cc, stage 2 heads. they flow over 280, and cost about $1600

My slo aod- 3.73s, pullies, flowmasters, h-pipe, bbk cold air, and 13.42 in the 1/4 @ 103 mph

I think Trick Flow is the best bang for your buck.
