460 Performance Cylinder heads
I'm looking for info on performance cylinder heads for my 85 F350. I built my motor years ago with many more but I'm ready for cylinder heads. I'd prefer cast iron for durability. Any info on products,builders,etc be helpful.

Define "performance". Early iron heads work well, some later heads can work.

Aftermarket cast iron heads are available for the 460 but NONE of them are cheap. Acquiring and getting a set of factory C8 C9 D0VE heads ported would be cheaper.
And really unless you going circle track racing or building for a jet boat or some other extreme severe service application, the aftermarket AL heads will do you just fine.

Talk to Scotty at Parkland Performance. He's a 460 builder and sells heads and top-end kits.

I've dealt with him a couple times and he was very helpful. I just emailed him a few days about about a 460 EFI in a vehicle I just purchased.
