Last I heard they used stock heads.

They dropped the price to $4300 plus just $100 shipping, so looks like you're interested. 
I want to know exactly what you get for $4300. Custom cams? Ti valve parts? What LIM (if any)? Coil on plug? DAMB/FF?
Why would you want the SVT UIM for FI anyway? That's made for N/A. Cool plasticness is the way to go. Get a big honker from a newer (2005+) 3L and you're good to go. Just add boost.

Same questions I have!
I haven't had a chance to talk to AER yet, but I will within the next week or so. I will post whatever information they give me.
I think there was a recent thread with more information. What interests me the most about these engines is that they are specifically set up for high performance boosted applications. Thatâ??s more than just compression ratio and custom increased duration cams. The engine uses forged rods and pistons and the block is machined for oiling improvement â??piston squirters.â?
I also think an unusual amount of care is taken in checking clearances and machining and such â??? what I would consider â??old schoolâ? blue printing type assembly.
Itâ??s an oval port engine with what I assume is a standard oval port LIM with 42lb injectors (Ford Lightning).
I like my SVT UIM but havenâ??t made any decision yet on how to proceed. Iâ??ll wait to hear what AER recommends. There are some other obvious alternatives to AER.
I have a really healthy budget set aside for this, a good chunk of which is already spent on the car itself, ADC T3/T4 turbo kit, new customized MTX75 and such. The money AER is asking does not seem excessive to me.

Here is gotapex's quote from the last thread on this subject:
We use a custom forged aluminum piston from Wiseco which results in a compression ratio of about 8.5:1
The rods are Scat's 4340 forged H-beam with ARP 2000 bolts. (These are not the Q-Lite version)
Standard green top, 42 lb Ford Lightning injectors.
In terms of balancing and blueprinting:
Each crank is rebalanced to match the weight of the new forged rods and pistons. Each block is checked for deck height, main bore size, etc. Heads and cranks and inspected as well. Due to small variations in piston size, we measure each and every one in our climate controlled quality dept and then make very closely matched sets of six. After this, each block is honed to match the set of six pistons. We do this in order to maintain very tight control over the piston-to-bore clearance to reduce the possiblilty of piston slap from the increased clearance requirements of a forged piston.
Other items which are different:
1) The camshafts are a unique profile with increased lift and duration.
2) The block is specially machined to install piston squirters on each cylinder.
3) The accessory drive setup requires a non-stock front cover.
4) We use a special dual frequency damper for engine smoothness. This is not an underdrive or lightweight type change.
5) Lighter weight 19 lb flywheel (SVT flywheel)

I think they're pretty standard ones.
I bought some upgraded ones for mine (from the ST220) from Jesse, but ended up not using them. I ended up going the custom route with an even stiffer setup.
If anyone needs these ST220 springs, let me know.
