What aftermarket heads are you guys going to when the time comes?? Or are you just porting ,polishing and beefing up the stock heads??

I'll keep the stocker's unless I go turbo sometime down the line. They flow very efficiently.

There aren't actually any 'aftermarket' companies that make heads for our cars, just ones that rework them.

Those are just CNC'd stockers. They also offer 3V set ups.

Regardless, they flow much better then OEM. I don't know where you read that they're the stocker's, but I can't find it.

There are no "aftermarket" options available.

But there are still better flowing head options. He just wanted to know the best way to get more power from them.

Fox Lake ports 03/04 heads. These flow some serious air.

Yeah you're right. I'd like to get a set ported for myself down the road.

If you read the stats on it the bottom says * Exchange Required

Also, Steig will port them for less than that too, might look into them. Also VT engines is about $1250 for a port. Should call them up and comapre the port jobs vs prices.

Al P. (Boss330)
Fox Lake
Patriot Performance
Power Heads (yup the guys from way back doing the 351-C heads)


I'd just give the stockers a badass valve job and call it a day, but thats me. I'm weird.

The exchange required doesn't necessarily mean that they're just ported stockers. I had to exchange my stock nose drive assembly when I got my Magnuson nose drive with carbonfiber input shaft and 2.93" pulley. Just an example.

Again, those are setup up from bare FR500 heads as they state.

Wouldn't that make them copletely different heads?

How? Because they have different valves? A complete aftermarket head is made from scratch by an individual company, such as Edelbrock.

So technically Ford can't have an aftermarket? :shrug:
