what is the best head for a 5.0

173speed · February 27th, 2006, 04:59 PM

just wanted some opinions on what the best set of heads for a street 5.0. are.The car has a nos kit on it and regular bolt on cams

I like AFR 165's for that kind of setup. Real good stuff. Maybe 185's if you've got plans on a stroker or high revving.

AFR 165 vs 185 Comparison

the hell with what is the best ..better yet what can you afford?

GT-40p heads are sweet. You can find them at a local boneyard.

IcantDo55 · February 28th, 2006, 07:32 PM

AFR! :award

Aliate X · February 28th, 2006, 11:23 PM

Im a fan of the Trickflow TW's just bought myself a set and man they are nice as hell.

fakesaleen · March 1st, 2006, 09:33 AM

what are the gt-40p heads going for at the junk yards and will they work with my carb setup? I have an edelbrock performer intake and summit full length headers

vfast · March 1st, 2006, 11:20 AM

yes they'll work fine..you can find them on e-bay for about 250 and you don't have to get greasy :wink

I am getting gt-40 heads, the price is my main issue. Can't seem to beat the price.

vfast · March 1st, 2006, 12:11 PM

173speed · March 1st, 2006, 12:54 PM

I've got a set in my garage that I'd let go for $400 shipped. Actually, they're at the machine shop being cleaned up...But they'll be back in a couple of days. Let me know if you want them.

You did mean GT40 iron heads right?

take your ass on..skippy

What are your plans for the car? How fast do you want to go? What is the rest of your combination? A good all around head is a Trick Flow twisted wedge. Trick Flow leads the market in street heads.

173speed · March 2nd, 2006, 07:02 PM

i have trick flow ported heads on the car now don`t know if they are twisted wedge i got them from a swap meet in my area i don`t think they are but they definitely made a big difference a friend of mine is buying my fathers cobra and he is looking to do some up grades i WOULD NOT touch the car personally it`s all original and only has like 19,000 miles on it but that`s on him we need the money for school i hate to see the car go but some times u have to sacrifice...i probably end up selling my heads and buying some afr 165 i know a few people got them and they love them

Going from a Trick Flow to an AFR 165 will be a mistake.
