i dont know where to get valve springs from but maybe somebody can help me?

looking to get 1 piece stainless steel valves($25 each ) and then maybe a AU head gasket and head bolts

suspesion: some ideas?
exhaust: pacemaker extractors and a redback/lukey exhaust(high flow cat if need) i have read that they high flows dont give any extra power?

gearbox: will i need a high stall or can i get away with the stock?

could somebody give me some kind of help becuase im getting my self confused with all this stuff.

thanks daniel.

i dont know as of yet im looking to get one for under 2500?

well ill have as much money as i want,after i get off my P's i wanna do a full strip down at rebuild it and forced induction, i just wanna do decent skids and have power when i put my foot down, but im open to other options

As much money as I want?

its not going to be a bulid overtime, i was thinking exhuast first and then suspension and then motor?

Polishing went out with the ark. You need the "roughness" in the inlet manifold the enable the fuel droplets and air to mix. If it is too smooth, nothing mixes.

Porting is good to match manifolds.

Triple angle valves is good. See C.O.M.E., they did a GREAT job for me for a Cleveland. As did Jim Mock later for a I6

Large inlet ports = good top end (3k rpm +)

small inlet ports = torque = grunt off line

I had a 351+ Cleveland with a Thermoquad and 2V heads, and that thing would move the earth!!

Where are you gonna use most of you engine?? I know I rarely drive over 2500

Ford GT falcon 4V heads were great for 5000 rpm plus, but useless below 2000. Anybody that knew there stuff opted for 2V heads with a Thermoquad, (or a Holley )

Gotta get an AU head gasket!!!!! Anything but the standard piece of crap

Choose between power and torque, power comes in about 3000 rpm+, torque comes in about 1500 odd. As I have said before, where u gonna use your engine the most??

S/S valves?? I have had "normal" valves for the past 250,000 kms from JMM and I have had no hassles

ANY set of headers/free flow zorst will improve breathing/performance. Note though that free flow zorsts usually only improve top end, with a gain in bottom end. I have JMM headers, and I am quite statisfied

Here endeth the lesson

alright thanks for that Creeture. i was thinking of not doing any work do it until it blow a head gasket but save up all my dimes, take it off the road and then do a head gasket and while its off get it ported.

ill be using it for daily doing the odd ''p plater thing'' and dragging (down the strip)

what would you say for my option

the head recon bloke goes mate get some S/S valves it will run better i kinda got confused but i thought id put them in just in case anybody knew any difference to the standard one and the S/S one

would you go minispool or LSD or something called a LOCK RIGHT LOKKA?

Just get Jim .M.M to build you an engine.

im not in vic mate, and im not saying like 700 dollars freight down there and back

You got plenty of money tho.

alrighty champ

Getting too technical man,
Use the xr head, get a wade cam, adjustable cam gear, j3 chip, pistons all that usual rebuild/build up stuff, go a bit further if you wanna.
End of the day it's a e series ford, don't loose you're head in the numbers.
Were lucky at ford mods to have a great library of different mods on our engines.
Alot of different oppinions on cams, chips and power enhancing mods that actually give some go.

pull your whole interior out. everything that you dont need to actually drive tha car and turn tha lights on. stuff like stereo , door cards, centa console, seats ecept for drivers seat ahaha

you will be surpised how sharp it steers into the corners man, feels so different, and the a** end lights up alot easier!!!!

Camtech list a part number for valves springs to suit that cam.
They recommend a higher stall torque converter. http://www.camtechcams.com.au/ford_6cyl_eael.html

Pep-pro do valves. http://www.pepproracevalves.com.au/classic.html
ANY decent engine machine shop will be able to cut a good 3 or 4 angle valve seat in the head to suit.

@pakrat are the xr heads good i got told they were rat crap? any suggestions on a wade cam? thanks again for the suggestions

@D.K no just no.

@ tickford6 thanks for that mate, ill ring around some engine places
