I'm looking at building up a budget 460 starting with a wrecking yard motor. What are the best stock heads to get for performance, or are they all the same?

CJ was referring to alt.hi-po.big-block-ford-mercury.

429 CJ heads if you can find them, or the years before air pump heads because they have more flow.

Bob, there is a 429 in a '73 Mercury. How can I tell if they're CJ?

-------------------------------------------------- They aren't.The last CJs were in 1971 mustangs,cougars,etc. What application is this 460 for?I'm not sure you need CJ heads unless it's for race,but then it probably wouldn't be a budget build-up.

If it is the original '73 engine it is not a CJ. They did not make a 429CJ in '73.

Isn't that what Brian Orion just said?
