Cylinder Heads
I just purchased a 93' 150. I am pretty sure that I need a valve job but I am wondering if a set of heads off e bay would be an alternate route worth going down. What I really need to know though, is what heads are on the truck. It is a 93 5.0 4X4 with an automatic overdrive trans. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is the fourth F150 I have owned and the first 4X4 5.0. Thanks in advance.

Your cylinder heads are the same iron heads that Ford used on the 5.0 Mustangs from '87-'95 and in the 5.0/5.8 trucks from '87-'96. They are restricitive as far as breathing goes and have 1.78" intake and 1.48" exhaust valves.
I would suggest you upgrade to something that will flow air a bit better for you. I got a pair of Trick Flow Twisted Wedge heads for my Bronco (can you tell I had the motor done on my truck BEFORE I got married?) They were expensive, but man that thing revs nicely

Thanks man. I just found out that my dad has a set of 95 truck heads that have 15000 miles on them. I think that the info you gave me will make the decision better. I also am married and since I got this truck during marriage the twisted wedge heads are pretty much out of the question

Why don't you consider the GT40P performance heads from Ford.
They have 60cc combustion chambers and 1.84/1.55 Valves.
You can get them for about $240.00 each complete.
Flow numbers are very good for this head.
flow int 182 CFM @ .500, exh 121 CFM @ .500 (stock)
The combustion chamber is shaped for "clean burn"
See the following link for a lot of info on these heads.
