look at the heads if they are huge then its a 4v[8D]
Here's an easier solution. If you have a black plastic intake manifold than you have a 2v gt motor. They have the tiny little metal plenum on top of the cheap plastic intake with the running pony on it..lol. Sorry but they are. The only worthy plastic intakes are the aluminum crossover ones. Metal that runs behind alternator vs. old school plastic that cracks and was part of a recall only when it hapened but that's gone and past!

Like stated above you have a 2v if it's a gt unless who ever had the car before you did a swap[8D]

The Cobra engine bay looks good except for the intake tube with all of the stickers on it. I think that takes major major points away from the engine bay, otherwise it looks real clean.

Thanks for the compliments fellas, pretty much the only advantage to the JLT cai is that its got plenty of room for the accumulated perfomance stickers

So the real question is do you have 16v or 32v total.

how many in a ls1 and a lt1???
They're all 2 valve motors, but they are pushrod engines. Ours are overhead cams.

Toss in some motorcraft plugs, change the fuel filter, clean/change the air filter, oil change, trans fluid change...tune her up! Maybe wires if they look old or super dirty

Go race a stock 97 Cobra. If he blows you away (which I'm sure will happen), then you have a 2v.lol. All GT's were 2v until 05 when they became 3v, but a GT has never had a 4v unless it was swapped. And I believe all of the 4v cars say 32v on the valve covers.
