it makes me want to slap the ported eaton on my expy and leave the green truck procharged

 

No i'm not doing it, a machine shop is. What dabs?? Where the front cover meets the block and the heads??

 

Do it!!

 

Yes where front cover meets block and heads oil pan and cam covers! The head gaskets are thick and leave a nice gap that probably the cam chain sling oil against. And you don't want to pull the fron cover off once its all back together. A real PITA!

 

OK thanks.... I'll tell him!!

 

What spark plugs should I get?

 

either NGK TR-6's or the denso equivelant

 

Second NGK TR6!

 

Ok thanks..... What gap?

And I was wondering if lightnings have diff cams than N/A 5.4s.

 

nope same cams, gap depends on how much boost you'll be running








I run mine a lil' wide at 38 but I'm only pushing 14# at 'em

 

have you ordered the head studs? if not there is a local performance shop around here that has them on sale for $175...i can pm you the info.

 

Same heads too!

There is a post I believe on NHTOC that shows plug slection and gap versus boost, if you can not find I think I have it stored somewhere.

Just saw some head studs cheap, maybe ebay?

 

Not ebay but on NLOC forum, "New Years Blow Out Sale", 95 dollars new!!!

 

Ok thanks guys!!! Yeah I got the head studs already, $215 from summit.

The pulley setup I have is gonna be around 16 lbs but not sure how accurate that is. Thanks..... It's getting there. Should start ripping the truck apart the middle of the month... I'll be sure to take plenty of pics. I can't wait!!!

 

Nash, how bout that good-lookin stang behind that truck...what's in it? Looks a little like mine.
