Heads were mildly ported and cleaned up around the valve seat area

Valve covers were powder coated custom finish.

UPDATE:

Don - Thanks for the reply. I thought a stock Gen 2 had a curb weight of around 3750 without any weight reduction. You had yours on the scale after the weight was removed and it was 3800? 14.5 is a fantastic time for a stock Gen 2. Congrats. I haven’t had mine to the track yet. Waiting for my...

Yeah I’ve seen DLFs build too. Mine should be almost identical when finished other than my weight reduction. I was a member on this forum with my old account when he passed away. I think his gen 2 toreador red was running around 13.20s or slightly better. What is done to your car slowmkviii? E/T?

Don I’m familiar with your set up already too. Do you have any ets for when it was still a N/A car? If so what was it running? And if you don’t mind me asking, what is your cars weight with the back seat and passenger seat removed and no spare tire? I did all that with mine, And I scraped all...

Chris - I know about The short runner intakes too. NaSVT does them over on SVT performance. I wanted to do a short runner myself but without ever doing one before I decided against it. I know most of the gains from porting come from the shortened runners, I didn’t know if anyone else has ported...

Anyone else Port their intake?

Nobody??

Wanted to make a thread and see some of your guys combos. I’m already familiar with Kstrombergs and (somewhat) familiar with Right on the marks setups. Post your combo, and if you have it, a pic of Time slips too. Mostly looking for members that have ran a 13.99 or better N/A, but all times...

Both tubes inside upper lid were removed and inner lid surface was smoothed

Thought I’d share some pics of my cobra intake before it is time to put it on the new engine. Here is the upper lid Middle divider remover behind throttle body blade

My block as of 45 minutes ago right before I picked it up and loaded it in the truck to drop it off. These blocks are stupid light, so glad the Teksid is aluminum. I can pick it up myself effortlessly

Yeah with 220k I can almost assure your correct in assuming you probably have some piston slap like mine did too. Mine had 160k and had it. My engine builder also showed me a coupe 5.4 and 4.6 2vs and 5.4 and 4.6 4vs that had it too, the pistons have side to side movement in the bore and were...

Valves are getting ground, heads are getting resurfaced and milled and all new valve seals are getting installed too

I'm actually going with the factory 3cc dish style pistons, mod max sells the ones I am buying, they are a 3cc dish speed pro and with those pistons on any stock 4v and un-milled heads it shows a compression rating of 10.2:1, however as you guys said I will be getting the heads milled as well...

~~~~ UPDATE ~~~~~~~ Engine is tore down to the bare block, the block is getting ready to be dropped off at the machine shop in just a little bit to be bored. This is what was wrong with my engine: 1. 2 bent connecting rods 2. Bore issues (6 out of 8 pistons were moving a crap load side to side...

Bill - The engine is out of my car right now and at Ormondgt98's place right now getting rebuilt. It's getting new main and rod bearings, all new gaskets, ford racing oil pump and pick up, cobra Intake and Kooks installed, and I'm trying to negotiate a install of some 96-98 cobra Intake cams as...
