Looking for a bargain basement head swap for my 86 5.0. The car is already equipped with a TFS street intake, and according to the previous owner, a FRPP e-cam. However, I'm unsatisfied with the current power. With stock port e6's, the loss of a little low end torque from the cam is noticeable, however, it still goes flat at about 4500 RPM's. I have two sets of e7's sitting around, one with good guides and valve job. I was thinking about doing a basic port job on them, similar to diyporting.com heads.
I was just wondering if the gains would be worth the hassle, I was kinda hoping for 30 or so horsepower. Not much money, but quite a bit of time. I realized gt40's would yield better results, but hard to beat the price for stuff I already have.
