No. If the 4.7 are using the material why not the 5.2.

Subject: DML: aluminum heads to much for 5.2?

Does anyone know if the aluminum heads that MP sells are more than a 5.2 can
handle. I'd like to put them on along with a cam, MPI, and Quick D TB. Can I
shave them to get a little more compression?
I'm trying to figure out what to do, I don't want to throw thw TB and
manifold on without doing cam & heads 'cause I'll loose more torque. But I
really want aluminum heads for there heat dissipation and lightwieght
properties.

Any Advice?
