Vernon said:Iceman, it's been stated several times in this post and I assure you it's correct, NO FORD 3.8s WERE MADE WITH IRON HEADS much less steel. If you want to check use a magnet. If you can get a magnet to stick to a set of 3.8 Ford heads I salaute you.
Ya, what he said.
As for Vernon's other points, I agree. we just answered the question differently.
It's all a balancing act. Loosing weight helps, so does more HP. It's all a matter of what is the best bang for the buck. Personally, I think a good set of heads, good exhaust system and a late style blower are the best bangs for the buck. Especially when you start adding more bolt ons later. With those basic mods (and the glass hood), mine made 260RWHP, 350 RWT and would run 14.5@95mph all day long.
