RE: Opinions on trick flow high port heads?
Ya my kit is built to be used on a stock 5.0 But I have a good oportunity to buy a fresh engine cheap and its built for boost. It has a customcam, Dss 8.2 to 1 pistons,highport aluminum heads and explorer gt40 upperand lower intakes.Turbo Kit is built to fitthe stock motor and eveything fits pretty tight. Trying to figure out if the headers would be close. Also how close do you think that the gt 40 exploer intakes would match up to the stock ones? Dont mind doing a little fab work as long as they match up fairly close.

RE: Opinions on trick flow high port heads?
You are losing me on the intake match up.You have not told us what kit you have as far as turbo so for any of us to tell you thatthe headers will fit would be hard to say. I think it wont. the crossover if it issingle wont fit with out making it longerdue to raising the ports it will make the crossover need to be wider and will the crossover hit the oil pan now that you have moved everything up? They move the exhaust ports up what 3/4 or is 1/2 of a inch. I should know I have a set.that is a lot when talking about header room.

The turbo kit is a hp stage one single kit.
The Intake is a gt40 upper and lower off of an exporler. I was just wondering how far the high ports would move the position of the headers up and how much the intake would move up. Just trying to figure out if there is anyways I could make this work or if its even worth the fab work.

i know i'm not your only customer woody and you have no idea how greatful i am that your giving me a steal on fixing it. But you act like I blew it up on purpose. And the only reason i keep emailing you is because you tell me it'll be done a certain week, and its not, so i just get curious as to if a setback has been hit or something. You know if you were me you'd be just as impatient, sorry...
