hey guys,
i've got access to a set of E7TE's for $50. I'd like to get them ported and put them in my '86, but they're off a 1990 GT. Will they fit in the '86 GT?

 

Yes, they will.

 

Thanks Richard. wasn't gonna do heads just yet, but these came up. i saw a flow chart online comparing flow figures for E7's vs. GT40's, stock and ported on each, and E7's held up pretty good. so figured i'd pick up this set for $50 while they're available and get em ported. then i can do my intake, roller rockers and heads all at the same time.

thanks again for the response. cheers

 

No problem, yes they are a decent head with proper porting, good luck with the project.

 

I hear there is a bump in the E7's that if you take it down you'll get more power/flow.

 

yep .. i did that to my heads and also polished the runners..

 

Removing the bump helps, but unless you can port them yourself its not really worth it, you will have almost as much in them as a used set of aluminum heads and they wont flow nearly as well. I think they are worth putting on in your case, just spend as little cash as you can doing it.

 

I agree with the poster above. Spending money on E7's to get the flow will be costly. Its better to find a set of used Edelbrocks that everybody is ditching for the AFR's.

 

Unless of course you can score a wicked deal on GT40's or something. I got a set of professionally ported GT40's with upgraded valve springs, stainless valves....etc. Ready to bolt on for $700.00 a few years back, have been very happy with them.

 

Thats a good deal $700.00
