You think this is long you should have seen my GF thread. It really wasn't even titled that good but it had 14 pages and 7000+ view. To bad it got locked down because someone got offended.


Guys I'm going to close the thread. If idiot5.0 gets the pics for me today I'll make another thread in talk. I know this thread will get locked down soon. We have been off topic for about a page and a half.

Its not a stupid question. A stupid question would be "why are tires made out of rubber?" I bet that 90% of the people on stangnet don't know the answer or could careless to even ask. Damn haters!!!

I still don't understand why its a stupid question????

OHV vs SOHC

The SOHC allows the valves to be unshrouded, thereby allowing better airflow which inturn produces more power. There are push-rod 4 valve heads made by Arao http://www.araoengineering.com/Ford/frdsmb.htm
These are heads for small block fords which flow like crazy.

How does that system work off of only 1 cam? Does 1 pushrod work some weird kind of Y-shaped rocker working 2 valves or what?

I swapped a 01 4v into my original 96 GT, it can be done and 96gts knows that, hes just being sarcastic. I dont know why your Ford dealer had such a problem with installing it

So where are these pictures?

The valve rocker arms are on two shafts, each rocker arm actuates 2 valves for the intake and 2 valves for the exhaust. Click on the web site, they have pictures and specs.

[QUOTE='96&'01Stang]What was this thread about again[/QUOTE]
It should have been , "how many stupid replies can I get"? and , " how far off topic do you think it will get", or " how many morons does it take to get a thread locked" ????? hell, I guess I'm right there with the rest of you.. please God , let this end.
I you really want to know, take an auto mechanics class and learn about engines.

I thought it was "I have PMS because my 4V swap went to hell and I'm having my vengence by expressing how much I think 4V's suck because I had a bad experience with them (even though I know they don't suck), and I'll build myself an old NASCAR engine because I think it's somehow impossible for anything to go wrong on one of those because I said so"

Or something like that.
