Re: Cutting/porting upper intake Reply #15 – November 30, 2004, 11:24:47 PM fordmuscle did a good write up on this but i think you frequent that site also. i think there is some theory here that its "more" important to port the exhaust rather than the intake. If making it bigger all the way around then there is a lot of grinding that can be done on your bowls yet.having fun,, :) ? thats what its all about.i know that sancho did his the very same way and was not too impressed from what i can remember of his closing comments on his port/polish episode.

Re: Cutting/porting upper intake Reply #16 – November 30, 2004, 11:34:29 PM well I still don't have any gaskets to match them to, so I really haven't worked the runners yet. the rusty exhausts were ones that I worked on months ago, and i just got around to workin on them againyeah I've been to fordmuscle plenty, printed out a couple of porting guidesthe exhaust would be more important cuz the exhaust port has both the valve guide boss and that stupid thermactor bump.and sancho probably just did his wrong :p Quote Selected

Re: Cutting/porting upper intake Reply #21 – December 06, 2004, 10:54:25 PM Have to agree with hawk on that one. He is on the ball, most people want you to tell them what they want to hear not what you think. Also he has one sweet bird that Im building a copy of. looks identical but mine will be portifino blue clearcoat metalic. Quote Selected
Re: Cutting/porting upper intake Reply #22 – December 07, 2004, 02:48:58 AM well see, everyone on messageboards assumes you have the money to get the best stuff out there. I'm not making a 10-second Tbird, I'm trying to squeeze all I can out of my tiny, itsy-bitsy budget. so when I'm trying to make the best of stock stuff and people tell me to spend hundreds of dollars on something, of course I'm not going to take their advice. I know there's people on here who are full-time college students like me and can only work so much, thus can only make so much. If I didn't have my credit card maxed out a a grand, I'd buy stuff to make my car a real runner. maybe after christmas and my bday (end of feb.) I'll have made enough to pay it off, but now I've had to start a new job delivering pizzas because after the 14th of jan. I won't be able to work but 16-20 hours at my current sheet metal job, and I'm not going to be going to school and work nonstop from 8 am to 12 pm Quote Selected

Last final tomorrow evening and college's over (until I need to go back for more certifications but I refuse to think about that). 8-5, here I come :wtf: Quote Selected
