Best source for 5.9 heads?
In case I need a new set of heads, what are the best sources? Should I go with Mopar R/Ts, aftermarket, etc?

how much do you want to spend?
www.hughesengines.com
store.summitracing.com
www.southeastrt.com
www.krcperformance.com - more expensive but a wealth of Mopar experience behind their products.
that'll get you started.

as cheesy as it sounds, you can search ebay also for a set, depending if you want to go back to stock, or aftermarket. I recently got a set of cast replacements on ebay for $525 shipped, and have had great luck with them.

^^^^Those are headers not heads, but it's an interesting link none the less.

Thanks to all for your links and suggestions. If I'm going to do this, I might as well slap some headers on there too! The Hugh's Iron Rams look interesting.

The Hughes Iron Rams 1.92s out flow the rt 2.02s out of the box and are even better ported, good value
