Ported heads? From where and at what price?
#11
You guys are buidling some nice setups here and your goals are 100% attainable. I'm not sure what the 5.0 N/A Cobrajet motor would cost but ford a naturally aspirated CJ with 620HP @8000 rpm, they say the CJ intake is a 30HP bolt-on for Boss cars (requires tuning). 620 minus 15% would put the car at 527whp. Right in line with what your trying to build.
I think they are workin on a 700HP car too but wonder if that would be at some crazy high rpm, high compression race only setup.
Some good info:

Lawman, Is the $1299 price for stage 1 head porting on the Livernois site for a single head or is that each.. so $2000 total plus labor for R&R and another $200 for a nice AED tune?
Also, i think they did come through with some big power for you.. would you still go w/ MMR next time or was the Livernois porting work very good in the end result?

I love that Blog about your ride..
I see you opted for the boss 302 valve springs.. how much extra were those if you dont mind me asking? next step would have been the boss valves and then you are right at a new set of Boss heads (but those are $1300 each). Thats where i am right now, trying to decide. Valves from Ford racing are $135 for Boss Exhaust (M-6505-M50BR*) and $120 for the intake (M-6507-M50BR*). The valve spring kit is only $60 (M-6513-M50BR*).
The much bigger expenditure and HP apart from bottom (8 bolt crank, boss oil pump, rods, pistons, E85 injectors etc..) comes in using the Cobrajet cams - M-6550-M50BEXH* and M-6550-M50BINT* are $895 each ($1790 for the vehicle) and you have to machine a little extra clearance in in the head - tbd on that amount. Plus the new pulse wheel M-12A227-CJ13 ($110) , oil pump M-6600-50CJ ($759!), and the cj intake M-9424-M50CJ* (995) + something like this super CJ throttle body (M-9926-SCJ) $650.. oh and then find an air box..
There is also the titanium valve option but they dont last quite as long and are huge $$ pure custom at the moment.
