I've seen a couple of cars in ford mags with them. I was told to stay away from Procomp, the link here is http://www.ausfordparts.com/index.html I'm not sure on what is different but apparently you can bolt everything up just like your 2v cast heads.

Hey guys ,I have had experience with both the Procomp heads and the AFD's.
My advice is to stay away from both. The procomp head can be made to work but in raw form (ootb) has a lot of area's that need attention. Chamber shape is very shrouded,soft valve

at the end of the day I will either port the 2v heads and spend the money on them cause that way seems to be the easy or I have to bite the bullet and get the alloy heads and everything else that go's with them.
