Worst mistake ever in my life!!!!!

1. Watch who you talk to. Go to the track and ask people who actuallly are getting decent time slips, not the guy cutting 15.9ET on slicks and Nitrous.
2. Stangnet is a good source of information.

That video was staged, but still funny. I wish that really would happen to any "ghost rider" wigger.

with all the info on the net you have no one to blame but yourself

351 e7s will be the same as the heads you have now. If you want a set of 351 heads that are an improvement, find yourself a set of 69/70 c9 heads

DMAN302 · Dec 29, 2006

It's not the heads that will limit the addition of the B cam..it's the 86 style flat top pistons. Another factor will be the condition of the springs, a b cam will require fresh springs...so the heads would be best rebuilt if you choose to run them...but again....you need to ensure your old block does not sport flat top pistons.

Gotcha, I have a 01 exploder shortblock, so thats not a prob. The company hasnt told me yet if I am gettin my money back, but yes it was a stupid mistake. I guess ill be tradin em off.

I put those heads on my first mustang when I was 17.
Didn't know it at the time. They did seem to kill the power in the upper rpm range alittle never had the car dyno'd, but they felt different.

I was 17 working at walmart at the time making only 6$ an hour. I had pulled the motor to rebuild ,and I could not afford alum. heads

So I went to a company in town that sell remanfactored part, and picked up a set of heads refurbished for around 250$

Did not know they were 86 till I got home and installed and put motor back in car.

I found out they were 86's when I was trying to install new plugs that they wouldn't fit.

I Don't know the different in the two castings but, I do know that they have the same size intake and exhaust valves. and as above the plugs are different.

Not shure why the 86 didn't have valve reliefs in the pistons if they had the same valve sizes. Maybe just less lift in the 86 cam.

bend a valve on one of the heads with something and get a refund lol

Mr. Rustypwnz · Dec 30, 2006

LOL, the guy has refunded my mulah, I got some e7's on loan from one of my friends, and then this saturday 5.0beast is hooking me up with some gt40p heads!! So at least the pile will be able to drive to get the gt heads LOL.

1SLO306 · Dec 30, 2006

gt40p heads are a lil diff. the spark plug is straight IIRC and will require certain headers

Mr. Rustypwnz · Dec 31, 2006

my longtubes clear fine ive heard, they are bbk longers. Im also gonna put some upgraded springs on the gt40p's.

grey5.0beast · Dec 31, 2006

Definately will need new springs, I found out it has 150k miles so you might wanna check out the valves as well. The only thing I need has no moving parts so I don't need to worry bout mileage

Well nobody has mentioned this yet so i'll throw it out just in case you don't know yet...if your block is an '86 and has stock pistons in it, you can't run E7s, because the pistons have no valve reliefs and you'll be in a world of hurt. Basically everything associated with the '86 5.0 engine sucks (sorry no offense, but it was Ford's first try and a lot of things were improved in '87).
