Default Trying to track down parts

So I have been looking for used 3.8 split port heads to do the swap and I have found that mustangs are hard to come by in the juckyards around me so I need to know what other vehicles split port heads will work right now I am under the assumption that 96+ windstars will work as well as the heads from a 4.2 f150 of a ford freestar can anyone give me some pointers on what will work

I have also found some heads on ebay for around 150 per head is this a good price and is there any difference between the right and left side or should any 2 work as long as they are in the same condition

I appreciate your help

would the heads from a 2000 ford e150 van work cause I found one in a junk yard about 9 mile from me and the price on the heads is 75 bucks a piece

Nicely done, do work. Also from what I remember the 4.2 uses the same heads as the 3.8.
