[QUOTE="blainestang, post: 5280303, member: 7839"] There are no aftermarket heads for the 3.8, so I got milled P&P stock heads w/ high(er)-lift springs for ~$750 or so... maybe $1200 or so if they were new. Also, the cam is a Billet Cam from Comp Cams (spec'ed by Matt @ Delk Performance... who just had his 9.8-second V6 in MM&FF this month, btw), and that was $300 or so. Other stuff like gaskets and pushrods (if necessary) is another few hundred bucks, probably, and I did the swap myself, mostly, so it could certainly be done for under $2k even with all new parts. I guess I probably actually would have spent $1500 or so on necessities, not including all the extra tools I bought since I had the excuse, things like cracked water pumps (used the Ford tq specs :fm:), and the damage from a cam that didn't have the oil passage drilled all the way through :fm: :fm: ... which was NOT from Delk, btw. It was from RPM-Mustangs, who has completely ignored me since it happened several months ago. But anyway, back on topic. :-D [/QUOTE]
