Before I towed it
AM BACK!!!

and after
Even Better

And I have always wonder about that pedestal and stud [&:]

 

I have heard that stud mount is better because of how they adjust for valve lash.... with pedestal rockers you have to shim them... which means pulling them off again... and again... and again......... you get the idea

 

so do u think that this will be a long project i mean how hard will it be to bolt up the same block to the 86

 

Its pretty much the same engine, cept for a few minor things

 

did u ever run ur old car in the 1/4 mile 86 5.0L

 

excuse the ignorance but what is a e6 and what is notching them?

 

the e6 are the heads that went on the 86 5.0 they are twisted wedge tech. taht sent the hp #'s down and the torque up. The 86 is the only one with them and the pistons were flat top so they dont clear any performance heads, and notching is when the piston is cut into to make room for hte valve clearance

 

so the notch is what was on the 87+? and its better? and i should probably to it to my car? lol

 

sorry nope, all my racing is done at street lights

e6 = high swirl heads, decreased emissions output, the head is NOT based on Twisted head design. From 1968 through 1985, the 302 small blocks had used a wedge-type cylinder head. When that head was dropped in '86 in favor of a new casting which Ford called a high-swirl, shrouded valve head, (although the new head greatly improved emissions ratings) performance fell because the head design restricted volumetric flow.
