I thought the 96-98 had good heads, they make a good switch on a 5.0, you just have to add the smog plumbing, I will check on the 99 heads and get back.

Wait, are you saying you can put modular heads on a pushrod motor? Don't think that's possible.

Ha ha...LOL...I laugh and call myself a JackAss...to all you kids, this is the reason you should not check your email after coming home from the bar. Intoxicated while typing is not recommended.

I don't know what I was thinking when I said that, I was right about the smog though.
