Title says it all, I work at a ford dealer and heads are $390 a side so I'm junkyard hunting for 3.0L heads. The tech library states Pre 99 had 8mm valves, guessing they went down in size to make them cheaper and changed the chamber to help burn E85. I don't run E85 even with gas prices and it seems like they'd breathe a little better. If I can find them is it worth grabbing non methanol E6AE or F6DE-GA Heads?
Also plan to lap the valves, Magnaflux and test, and throw some 5.0L 1.7 Roller rockers on it.
