Intake spacer and other upgrades Reply #60 – August 15, 2007, 08:02:00 PM Bah...I'm just going to stick with my original plan. Do the electric fan, Explorer intake, spacer, and UD pulleys for this engine to get it running 9s consistently and save everything else for when I build another engine from the ground up. It's not worth it to dig all the way back into the current engine. No oil leaks that I've noticed either. Quote Selected

I can't see it happening with E7sok, what sounds better on an SO bottom end? an E303 with E6 heads? or a HO cam with E7 heads? i guess the HO cam? i assume the E6's would hold too much power back.

What is teh MAX lift you can use in our cars without breaking stuff. In my case I have D5? heads. And I haven't picked a cam yet as I duno what to pick lift wise. Quote Selected
Intake spacer and other upgrades Reply #63 – August 15, 2007, 10:13:40 PM lift isnt the issue. its duration(how long the valve is open). most intake valves open when the piston is at BDC(bottom dead center). Quote Selected

Food for thought...The '86 HO is basically a SO with a 58mm TB, non-HO intake, E6s and were rated at 200HP... So It's the cam, TB, and exhaust system that apparently makes the huge difference... Of course you need the other HO pieces(inj, EEC, etc), but they are the same on either...Guessing with the true HO intake and the '87-up 60mm TB, HP would be approx 205 with the E6s... All head/piston combos prior to '86 have the valve relifs.... It's ONLY the '86 HO(also '87 in the LSC) and the '86-'91 SO engines that do not have valve relifs...If you go with the "E" you're going to need a Mass Air system... Quote Selected
