If it's going to be more than a grand, I'll just go with the brand new aluminum heads. This truck's gonna take me a few years to build, so I don't mind spending extra money on the major components if it's going to be worth it.
I think that is a good plan......others I'm sure will chime in as for today, who has the better head...FR, TF, AFR
