Hmmm... When I checked into it I found they should fit. There have been a couple articles (I'm sure you're aware) where they put the 185's directly onto the 392 stroker with no problems. When I called Ford Racing, they said the Z heads would bolt directly on with no problems. I figured since the intake and exaust valve size was the same it should be good to go. As well, I emailed Keith Craft with my exact engine year and model, and he too suggested the AFR heads. So based on those three things, I ordered them from Keith and away I went.

Knowing you probably did a bit of research too, I'd be VERY interested in finding what you learned. There certainly seems to be some kind of problem, and I certainly wouldn't rule out your theory at this point. If you get the chance, let me know.

Thanks for your time.
