How much do you charge? and if I were to send you my E7's, or do you have them done on your own and I send you mine as a core charge kinda deal?Originally posted by turbo2256b View Post1989 Lincoln Town Car - "Anabelle" - Original block, .030 over with SpeedPro pistons, rods fitted with ARP hardware, FRPP +volume oil pump, GT-40 3bar heads, Crane 1.72 rockers, 89' Fox cam, 93' Cobra lower intake, Explorer upper and 65mm TB, 93' Lightning EGR spacer, K&N intake kit from a 4.0L Ranger, 19lb/hr injectors w/ 87 Mark VII ECM, cat/smog deletes, Big Brake conversion, 3.55 K-Code Trac-Lok/Disc brake rear axle, CVPI LCA's w/1" sway bar in rear, wagon front sway bar, BBK 2.5" off-road H-Pipe, Flowmaster super 40s, HPP wheels, 3G alternator w/LMR.com wiring kit, gear reduction starter conversion, Best 1/4 time: 16.0 @ 85mph.Comment

Porting charge is 600.00 reworking stock E7 valves your heads. If you need guides its extra.... bigger valves extra. Shipping to us is cheeper than Thummper were in Mich Thumper in Fla. We can supply heads but exchanges are not realy worth the shipping cost. Core charge for us supplying the heads is 100.00. Turn around time is aaround 2 weeks after we recieve the heads varries a bit depending on how busy we are.Originally posted by 89LincolnTWNcar View PostScars are tatoos of the fearlessComment

I can't give a proper opinion on how my heads perform (they're a set of turbo's heads) because my motor was messed up at the time, but there was a very noticeable difference from the stock heads to the ported ones. Cam was a tooth off on my engine, so the low end was horribly lacking but once the motor wound a bit, it made a lot of power. Passing people was entertaining
Once I get my motor back and re-assembled I'll be able to give a proper opinion and a comparison to Scott's car with the Thumpers. It should be interesting. I don't honestly expect huge butt-dyno differences, but it might be interesting.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

I gotta save up the $600-700 bux for them anyways, that could take a little while. This summer I am doing the explorer intakes and 1.7 roller rockers, and checking on a rattle that sounds like a lifter or rocker, I figured while I'm in there might as well get the heads ported, remove the AC, get an underdrive pulley kit, get some bbk shorties and put backon my offroad H-pipe, to really make 'er scream!1989 Lincoln Town Car - "Anabelle" - Original block, .030 over with SpeedPro pistons, rods fitted with ARP hardware, FRPP +volume oil pump, GT-40 3bar heads, Crane 1.72 rockers, 89' Fox cam, 93' Cobra lower intake, Explorer upper and 65mm TB, 93' Lightning EGR spacer, K&N intake kit from a 4.0L Ranger, 19lb/hr injectors w/ 87 Mark VII ECM, cat/smog deletes, Big Brake conversion, 3.55 K-Code Trac-Lok/Disc brake rear axle, CVPI LCA's w/1" sway bar in rear, wagon front sway bar, BBK 2.5" off-road H-Pipe, Flowmaster super 40s, HPP wheels, 3G alternator w/LMR.com wiring kit, gear reduction starter conversion, Best 1/4 time: 16.0 @ 85mph.Comment

Turbo and his buddy Gerry do some great work.
I got a REALLY dirty set of E7s cleaned, revalved, better valve springs and ported for a real good price.
here's the pics I have of them....these were just rusty, full of sludge and black when I got them...I could eat off them now!
Gerry stamped the company name on it too...so you can see he stands by his product...I can't wait to get these on!

Hey Turbo, do I just ship you my heads and pay the shipping back as well in addition to the porting charge? My heads were rebuilt with new seals, a 1 angle valve job, a milling, and a hot-tanking and bead blasting. The guy who rebuilt them said my guides and valves were in great shape. This was all about 17,000 miles ago, so they should be in good shape.1989 Lincoln Town Car - "Anabelle" - Original block, .030 over with SpeedPro pistons, rods fitted with ARP hardware, FRPP +volume oil pump, GT-40 3bar heads, Crane 1.72 rockers, 89' Fox cam, 93' Cobra lower intake, Explorer upper and 65mm TB, 93' Lightning EGR spacer, K&N intake kit from a 4.0L Ranger, 19lb/hr injectors w/ 87 Mark VII ECM, cat/smog deletes, Big Brake conversion, 3.55 K-Code Trac-Lok/Disc brake rear axle, CVPI LCA's w/1" sway bar in rear, wagon front sway bar, BBK 2.5" off-road H-Pipe, Flowmaster super 40s, HPP wheels, 3G alternator w/LMR.com wiring kit, gear reduction starter conversion, Best 1/4 time: 16.0 @ 85mph.Comment

You pay shipping. Quote includes burn sand blast if your heads are clean might not have to pay for it again. Guides should still be good with only 17K on them we do a multi angle valve job and back cut the valves.Originally posted by 89LincolnTWNcar View PostScars are tatoos of the fearlessComment

I'll have less miles. Engine is out again for a rebuild. I'll also have more displacement, since the cylinders will be overbored, so I'll win by like 3 cubic inches or something lol.Originally posted by 89LincolnTWNcar View Post86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
