Hey guys i got a 97 explorer that I'm going to swap the drivetrain from into my 99 4x4 ranger. I was thinking of getting these heads before i swapped it in. https://www.ebay.com/itm/FORD-loaded-set-2-Complete-Aluminum-Cylinder-Heads-SBF-302-190cc-62cc-2-02-1-6/174676153946?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=174676153946&targetid=1068323861670&device=m&mktype=pla&googleloc=9033614&campaignid=11612432079&mkgroupid=111530404485&rlsatarget=pla-1068323861670&abcId=9300456&merchantid=6296724&gclid=CjwKCAjwx6WDBhBQEiwA_dP8rRQaNT8Tb9LzxlLI54hZoVdDDjhkmRQwlcPirBKmgQ_-NI0lSu4JHBoCe3EQAvD_BwE&pageci=2e06100b-824c-4f6c-acc3-d9e36bd479e9

question is am i still stuck using the torque monster headers or would something else potentially work? I'm not opposed to a little header bashing/finessing. Figured these would be a decent enough upgrade. I just can't stand the idea of using those stock exhaust manifolds... terrible looking! Also do you guys think a comp cams xe264hr would be a good choice for cam on a stock ecu?

also if the torque monster headers are still my only option is the guy reliable? I've already gotten completely screwed over by Jacob from behemoth on a 1354 doubler kit for my bronco. Don't wanna deal with another clown.

I have Twisted Wedge heads and torque monster headers... on the Twisted wedge heads you HAVE to grind them down some on the side very carefully!! Don't go to much or you just ruined a $1800 set of heads!!
