347,

In a nutshell, sharpe1 has good advice. It sounds as though you are on a tight budget and need to make every penny count. There are a few things you have to do to adapt the heads which I won't go into. Also there are some considerations of port matching your intake manifold as well as a thermostat issue you need to be aware of. Along with head rebuilding costs, you would be better off looking on ebay or other sources for a nice used set of performance heads, gt40 or other. Guys are always upgrading. Some of the ford engine builders and speed shops on this forum may be able to help as well. I would question, in your application, if the stock 351 windsor head would make that much difference in power after all was said and done anyway. Take a little time and look around first.

John
