Okay this is not a Mustang specific post but it is a 5.0 specific. I have an 86 F150 that I want to turn into my winter vehicle. The non ho 5.0 in it was a poor choice (351W anyone??) and I want to give it more power. A friend of mine has been professionally porting heads now for about 5 years. He's done several sets of heads for me and is pretty good. I was just wondering if anyone has been brave enough to port these heads.

I'm just wondering what these heads are capable of. I know most of you will just tell me to get another set of heads but I'd rather pay my friend to port these.

They suck, i run them on my car now. Its not worth it to port them ;you are better off with a set of E7s. I guess iam just saying what everybody else is saying to really be honest with you i feel i can hang with any e7headed car out there

You can probably pick up a set of bare E7's for so damn cheap, I wouldn't even think about porting the E6's.

seriously dude, they're completely wortheless, IF you're lucky all those hours of porting may bring you close to the power of a stock set of e7 heads....pick up the freeking e7's and port those, then you're talkin!

E7TE's are too cheap and much better for porting. Some GT40's from an exploder would be even better.
