ford stroker ur right the afr's will still walk away from ported gt40's and but the question that was asked was, was it worth it? and u said no and well maybe the afr heads are still better they cost 1300 where as the gt40s ported and sent back to u are jsut about 800 dollars. so to answer the question yea its worth it. i have some experience but not with the 5.0, i worked at a engine building shop so im not cluless.

and i am going to do it with 3.27 gears and with a low overdrive gear and still get 15mpg hopefully all on pumpgas. i expect the car to weight at least around 2700lbs if not a lot less and make around 550rwhp n/a and then the 200-250 shot

oh yea if it doesn't run 10's i am running it into a wall

2700lbs with 500 at the tire, it better go mid 9's and you will need a cert cage and license

a local shop here quoted me on a pair of gt40's port polish valve job and springs for about 500 maybe less depending on quality of heads

r u going to get bigger valves upgrade springs?

FivePointOhh

yea. bigger spring for clearance of the cam and bigger valves

fordstroker

any shop that is porting an iron head, doing a valve job and supplying spring for 500 I would run from, fast. I bet they spend one hour max, blending the bowl and laying down the short side, if that, especially for 500 bucks

w8less

how is a different spring adding clearence?

w8less

the porting valve job springs and bigger valves cost me enough in the end where i could have bought aluminum heads if that guess any idea what a quality job cost. just something u should think about
