Pro Comp Heads

[nojoke327]

i was curious if anyone on here knows anything about these heads, they seem to flow well and are very reasonably priced.

muscle mustangs and fast fords used them in a budget build. these cheap heads with a cam and a carb on a stock 5.0 block made 399hp. not bad for cheap heads

I have them on my 408 in my mach, Mine made 545hp and 497 ftlbs but I startered with bare castings which were worked by engine builder. no complaints here

being that you already make good power, I take it that you are looking to go faster... And you aren't happy! If your looking to look for power to solve the problem then just buy a good used a4, r block! Your at where the "what if" start to apply for the block! Put the car on a diet and work on the suspension and driver mod. You MPH is there! I wouldn't waste the money on another set of heads! If you pull the heads then you may as well just pull the motor!

Everyone that I've read that has them said they worked ok but needed some cleanup and machine work. By the time they spent the $$ they could have got some Victor Jr's which they are copies of IIRC.

the heads are no good, its a 50/50 shot on getting good castings and the work involved to get them right puts the price in the same range as everyone else. Like D1 said work the suspension and worry about the block. 513 rwhp is enough to put any lx mustang in the 10's so the problem isnt the hp, throwing money at it while making your wallet lighter will not make you go faster.

Ive got them, I upgraded the springs and valves though and did alittle cleanup to them, work great!

sorry i should have been more clear. i am looking to build my stock 87 notch for my brother. the build will be on a very tight budget when i get home. i already have a TFS intake and a FMS "E" cam. need to rebuild the tranny, and the rear main seal is leaking, and my valve seals are shot. my money will be tied up with all of that so i am looking for a cheap but good set of heads. the heads are not for my 89. a am happy with the 185 AFR's on that. they are extensively ported and when the car was tuned a lot of power was let out of it because it ran out of injector.

If the wallet to hp ratio isn't good then.... hey best of luck!
