    87 head question

    since my 87 mark is an "F" 5.0 it's a LOPO, would it have the E7 heads?

    Can you tell from the outside?

      Let me ask this. Would porting those e6 heads bring them close to e7 specs?

        That must be the 25 hp difference from 87 to 88

          they need the valves un shrouded in the combustion chamber and they need porting to work well.....not really worth it

                Just wondering because my dad had that done some 15 years ago to his mustang and the car runs really well.

                  Someone in Indiana, I think, actually offered ported E6 heads for sale at one point. Either torquelover or I should have the link somewhere .... I'm guessing that these days E7 cores are cheap enough and require enough less work that it's now much less common to port E6s than it may have been in the past.

                    E6 heads will flow on the bench about what an E7 will, but with the valve shrouding they just don't perform well at high rpm. They do make a crapload of torque though due to that high swirl design.

                      Not to totally hijack the thread since it's still on the same subject, but how to E5's hold up to E6's and E7's? Are E5's better or worse?

                        E5 is really similar to an E7. Never seen flow numbers, but just looking at them, I'd be hard pressed to tell you any real difference. Maybe the combustion chamber is a little bigger, but thats about it. I wouldn't swap stock E5s for stock E7s though if thats what you're aiming at.

                            Regardless of the flow numbers I like my e6 heads with the bigger than ho cam. You dont have the top end power but it really feels like it has grunt all over. Just very strange power curve.

                              Interesting ...... mildly massaged E6 heads with Exploder cam, anyone?

                              I don't imagine they really respond to valve lift over .500 ....
