speed density + cobra intake??

[foureyedpride]

i have a buddy who is willing to give me a cobra intake and heads from his '89 coupe.....the heads have been mildly ported, but are stock '89 heads....are these upgrades worth the swap, will they work with speed density. i plan on upgrading to mass air, but not yet as my project is on the back burner right now. my '86 is bone stock right now.

E7 heads are always a 50/50 clearance chance. Check first....

They will work fine as long as the PTV is safe. I just put gt40 heads and Edelbrock intake on my 86 and have not had any running issues yet. Course the longest it's run so far was idling for 15 min in my driveway. BTW, I have after market pistons so PTV wasn't an issue for me.

you'll be fine...I run gt40p heads, a ported explorer intake, 65mm throttle body, and full bolt ons with speed density, and I don't even get the idle hunt. I do plan on swapping to mass air still (want to swap the cam out). speed density will handle pretty much anything other than a cam swap.

Yeah but - if you guys signatures are accurate above, you all don't have 86 stock pistons, so of course you will no clearance problems. It is of my understanding that the original gentleman's block has stock 86 pistons (which we all know has no valve reliefs).

lol, good catch...I skipped right over that detail.

None of that stuff is gonna work for him (well the intake will)

sorry buddy, swap out the shortblock.
