Buying Heads for SC'd AOD combo....

[joezeta]

i guess im looking at either Edelbrock alum's, or a AFR 165.......or maybe the GT40X ? :-?

What im not sure about is what prep work will they need if any...i assume i have Bolt down motorsport 1.72's... Which model would i need? .....How bout having the heads machined for fel pro loc wire gaskets ? good idea ? will they come ready or will i need to have that done seperately ?

sorry for all the questions, i want to get this combo right the first time and do it all at once and be done !!

Joe, It'd probably help to get a rundown of the planned combo...;)

x2.....which blower did you decide to go with?

ok guys , appreciate the help

i have a Vortech SQ2 on order... should i get a power pipe ? and how bout some type of blow off valve ive been reading about ??? not included in the kit i assume...

Currently i have a Cobra intake....will i need to upgrade to say a Holley Systemax ?

i have GT40 Irons on there now, was told by Mechanic (joey at Mustang magic for those in my area) that i will be coughing up Head gaskets with these heads something about the deck surface on these....so thats why im looking into the heads now.

1.72's......

Cam stock , im debating if i should leave alone, but im really leaning towards a E Cam , as i had that on my last mustang in the early 90's with a AOD and was very happy with it..

i will have to also upgrade my 155lph pump to a 255, along with a step up from 24- 42lbj injectors....of course i will have to also get a correct Mass Air, how about the Pro flo 80 mm ?? to big? My Throttle body is a 65mm .

i think thats about it ...........besides my Tranny, which i know what i need to get on that.

Im really Hoping to put 400-425 to the wheels, and keep my AC/PS and have very good driveability/reliable car.....Asking to much ???

again , really appreciate all the help/suggestions
