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.

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.
