Just wana know wats the biggest ppl have opened the exhuat ports to...
at them moment they are stock which is about 33mm...i want to open the up to suit my extractors which is 43mm just dont know whether there will be enuff "meat" outside if i do open them that far as i dont want to crack them with the heat expansion... any info would be great

What brand of extractors do you have? Are they 43mm inside the pipe?
Usually, the std Ford exh port on 3.9/4.0, is smaller than the OE gasket anyway, approx 2-3mm smaller all round. If you take it out that far, you may risk loosing some the ability to transfer heat away from the exh port surrounding. Its only a thought.

My exhaust ports are around 35mm. I dont see much point in going bigger.

When I did mine, I used the OE tin gasket as a template, scribed a line around, then centre popped it, so to make the line clean & clear. Then used a die-grinder with an alloy burr, an egg shaped one, then use a flapper wheel, 120 grit. Take your time and be patient. as the saying goes, " all good things come to those who wait".
Good luck.

reckon it would be of much benefit? i havent seen a Falcon head in ages, but i would have though match porting to the headers would be a bit of a waste unless you were going to do the whole port and drop in larger valves

You end up with not enough mating surface & it'll most likely cause exhaust leaks between the exhaust port & headers, if the header primaries start to warp.
