go ahead and put the ported head on. if you gona have to work might as well make it worth your while. lol

Here is the answer. The head will warp some but not enough to trash it. No cracks in it and the valves are still good. Seals are toast and springs are weak.
The other big valve head is waiting in the truck for this one to be finished.
Upgrades are 120 lbs springs and a slider cam for the upper rpms. Start turning 7k on this cam. and a little more port work before it goes back on. Pic's coming soon. Block is just fine. Hard to break half of a 4.6l

you going back to a slider?

SvoBrown · 03-31-2008, 06:23 PM

I can still swap it out if I want to. The slider I have was on it for a few weeks and it was a bad ride then. Upper rpms was a hoot! I have heard of people using the rollers on it but am unsure about what happens!
You need a big valve upgrade don't you Lee?

I like the r/r. It made me a beleaver out of a roller. It just was smoother though the rpms. I killed a bottom end on a 2.3 but was my fault. Turn the boost up and fuel down. But its was pulling like hell in a turbocoupe full body. I would check up on putting rollers on slider.

He's got to take it. He won't even get off his rear and pop the hood. At the rate Lee works on it I can see it moving in maybe 2 years, not counting it beening trailered to the new pad.
