I have a 89 5.0 mustang with a 302 bored to a 306. I'm goanna take the 40kmile short block in to get checked and change freeze plugs,gaskets.
Now that I've done research on heads I'm still confused.
So I'm looking at
Used Edelbrock e streets 165
Used Edelbrock performers 165
Rebuilt/ported gt40's
Any other "budget" upgrade suggestions from e7
I'm looking for streetable heads on budget which leads me to edelbrock "best bang for Buck" my goal is just h/c/I all motor 280-300hp "very reasonable"

I was very intrested in the trickflows 185 with trickflow track heat upper n lower, & tb for only $1300 on here. But thay say the 185 are better for 331ci and up plus you have to notch the pistons =more money.

The EDL e streets have intake runners that are 170cc and the EDL performers have 185cc runners, while some have smaller 170cc.. depends on the part number.

I would get whichever you can find the best deal on. It seems most people that I have seen/talked to are getting the best numbers with Trick Flow. That's why I went with Trick Flow. I'm still breaking in my motor, so I won't know how well they perform for a little while. World Products Windsor Sr. Iron Heads did really well for me in the past. AFR's almost always make great power.
I ran some Edelbrock Performer 1.90/1.60 170cc aluminum heads with Holley Systemax and stock cam with 1.7 roller rockers before this setup and on my old tired motor they did hardly any better than stock heads/cam/intake/stamped 1.6 rockers.

Yeah direct bolt on. With bushings to reduce from 7/16 down to 1/2" headbolt, use arp's. Also i had combustion chamber "O" rings on my heads so I had to use a copper ringed head gasket at about 70$ each. But the heads, long tubes, and supporting mods gave me over a 100rwhp. and that was all simply tuned by me just messing with timing, and fuel pressure between runs at the track between runs.
