Default 347ci ported twisted wedge heads?

Hey, I wanted to get your guys input on an something I might purchase here soon. A few months ago I was in Kentuky and I was noticing all the mustangs they usually have for sale on the sides of the roads. That place is like the mustang capital, but anyways I found this 1993 5.0 that was completely redone inside and out. this fox was spotless. I loved the car but I was just looking. There was nobody there to let me look inside but it had papers posted on the windows that stated all that it had, I cant exactly remember what all there was but I remember that it had 347ci stage 3 ported twisted wedge heads. I was curiouse as if those were good heads or not. What do you guys think?

Hey thanks man, those heads are exactly what I want. Do you think that they would be better than gt-40 heads? Im on the site u posted the link to. I read the onfo but I want to find the price and on the side it lets u basically answer questions to find which ones you need. I dont know the answeres to some of them like :
Maximum Valve Lift (in)





Outside Diameter of Outer Spring (in)





Number of Springs Per Valve





Lock Style





Machined for O-Ring



etc. All I heave in the car is a 303 cam basically. do you know what the right answers would be

what 303 cam? Those heads are leaps and bounds better then GT40 parts. Most likley you will need a different cam to really take advantage of those heads. Those items listed all go with your cam profile and what valve spring setup you run. and O-ring does not apply to what your gonna setup.

Cam,intake, and heads all depends on how your gonna use the car and what you want from the car. I can't just pick a cam for you.

Alright, well I want to get into the mid 300 or higher horsepower range. Once I put her up for college, the only times I will be getting her out is to take her for cruises through indiana, hoosier mustang meets and I'm wanting to start taking her to the track occasionally. Im not one that drives hard all the time, but I like get on it just as anyone does. So i guess I just want a car that I know that can whoop ***, but only if I want to if you know what I mean. I mean I just want to work on her over the years and keep making her better and better. I was thinking about for the cam i could get a Trick Flow
RPM range- 3200-6800
Duration- 236/248
Lift- .574"/.595"
Lobe- 110
And for the intake I was thinking Typhoon EFI Intake Manifold Kit (Upper and Lower)
And then ofcoarse the Trick Flow Twisted Wedged Heads ,

If Im not making any sence, Im sorry Im still trying to learn about all of this

If the typhoon is like all the other professional products parts its gonna be a hunk of ****. If you just want 300rwhp you don't really need the expense of building a 347 your motor with some work can do that. The cam you listed it for very high rpms and is not gonna be a good cruising setup.

Ok man, I know I keep jumping back at you with questions. But so you say I dont really need to build the car up to a 347, that with some work my car will get 300+rwhp. What work would you suggest that I do to get that. What would be the easiest or best way to do it.

A good set of heads,intake,cam and support mods like full exhaust you can get over 300rwhp with a 302. It sounds like you are more of a cruiser so you might just want to look into a pre setup package by any one of the many head and intake manufacturers. They aren't always the most powerful setups compare to more hardcore parts, but they will make good power and I think it will be more then you need.
