Maybe even get some from junkyard or someone parting out a totaled car.

If it was me, I would buy a 96-98 and do that swap, a lot cheaper then buying a 99-04.

From what I have seen and heard the pi swap is not a simple one. Along with the heads intake you have to buy gaskets special tools and a tuner is recommended

I swapped the heads out on my 00gt not to bad of a job and I didn't need the special tools altho I am sure it would have been a little eaiser with them. I picked the rebuilt heads up from a ebay seller which does only heads. I will try to find them, I believe they were out of NY they were 600 bucks. You might save a few bucks getting them from a bone yard but they will not be like new rebuilt heads. try to find some rebuilt heads over some bone yard units.
