I'm on a super limited internet connection right now ~9600 baud. Getting onto this website took quite a while than it usually does (cable is down).

I have a 1986 GT Vert and I'm looking to throw a set of e7's onto it.. they are ported but stock valve size for 1990, do I have the clearance? If so.. great..

Next question.. do I have the clearance for both 1.7s and the e7s.. or is that pushing it?

Thanks Much For The Input,
Gered

The only to know for certain what your clearance is is to measure it on your engine. When measuring small dimensions each engine is different - even someone with the same pieces can have significantly different clearances. Measure - it's the only way to know. You'll need .080" intake and .100" exhaust.
