Aftermarket cylinder heads?

94 4.0l 5spd w/ 265k+ miles... I pulled my cylinder heads off (head gasket blown), I took them to a machine shop to be inspected .... yep, cracked.

The machinist found a brand new pair of heads built by a company called AMC out of Spain. Has anyone had any experience with these?

4.0 ohv had a big issue with cracked cylinder heads if they were overheated or such things. I would just look for used ones and have them cleaned up or find aftermarket heads. May even want to do performance heads if you can. Would be a good time to do a cam etc. If you care to.

Thanks man. I am just looking for a stock rebuild. I may do a 5.0 swap later depending on funds and if I want to take on that job.
