Default Heads on my 98 need to go

I have a 98 with bolt on and a yank ss3600 stall. I just pick up a VRX4 cam, and would like new heads when I go in with the cam. I don't want to give my arm away when I get a set of heads. Thanks for the help.

Timothy, if you're on a budget Patriot Performance is about the best out there for $900-1100 range. You can also scan the classifieds, lots of good deals there too.

https://www.patriot-performance.com/...ome.php?cat=36

However keep in mind when switching to the new style heads, you'll have extra expenses for the change over. You'll need to get:

-99+ Valve Covers
-99+ Coil brackets
-99+ PCV system (98 PCV does not work with 99+ valve covers)

Give me a call if you need any help spec'ing your combo out or installing it. You and I have spoke before.

I'm about to get my engine rebuilt this week. I'm goin with the t rex cam and a lot of other upgrades. so I just bought some prc stage 1 with prc dual spring in em. never installed, got them on this site for $900. they r $1250 new. I knew I needed 99+ coils, brackets, and valve covers. totally forgot about the pcv system. so u can for sure get some decent heads with ur budget. good luck man.

I just picked up a set of 243s off ebay for $350 and I plan on "porting" them myself. I got valve covers and brackets here for about $100. That's my budget build so far.
