just wondering what # that intake you got?all my intakes match the ports on the heads.mismatched ports make bad airflow,bad airflow makes bad power curves.i dont believe there should be a large differance in port sizes.you might have a 2V intake by mistake.looking at my 4V heads and a performer...

my understanding was to keep hot oil off the intake manifold in performance situations.2V or 4V ,cleavlands are a performance engine made to make power with RPMs.Ford put it there,i put them there

back in the day ,it was norm to ditch either in favor for the C6. but today you can build a potent C4 that will handle insane amounts of power.if you are going to change ,look into a modern auto like the 4R70W.its considered a modern C6 with about the same weight,performance and you get...

i also tried rebuilding mine,the 200 bucks beats the aggravation of putting that thing back together

from what i understand,with out a factory build sheet,you can never really know what you have,starting in 70/71 ford had a huge options list,plus you add on what the dealers could install,you have a list that is nearly impossible to to guess.my factory build sheet was under the carpet on the...

do not know what you mean by small body saw? a hand saw?

just wondering, what are you using to cut the top of the cowl open with? i was thinking of a sawz-all or a small air reciprocating saw also,are you sand blasting all theses areas ,or using a D/A ? a little of both?

thanks for the reply,you might as well say i need the whole tray.from one side to the other.i will go out tomorrow and snap a couple of pics.you wouldn't have a left hand inner shock tower to make patches out of?

great results,the larger the brain pool,the better the ideas! i will be taking over the dishwasher now,did you change heat settings?

you know,when i bought my 72,i new about the rust problems of my car,and our years in general.i disassembled my car almost 20 years ago when there was no parts for it. no more parts are coming out i have found most of what i need to start except a package tray,cowl repair parts and drivers seat...
