Yeah you don't have a terminator setup. You would have to do an "eaton swap" minus the eaton.

For starters you have B heads, and the lower manifold needed requires C heads. If you swap over to C heads, you could just copy any setup you like on the termies.

I looked into that kit and I agree with that, you'll need terminator heads to use the terminator kit.

Do exactly what you said. Call KB and tell them your goals. They will point you in the right direction.

ok blower, call KB

heads cams??? still up in the air a bit. im making a big shopping list. would like to upgrade the lubrication system and livernois makes alot of of them but im not sure if theyre gimmicks or if its all legit. New - Livernois Motorsports - Browsing Store also things like head studs and other fasteners should also be replaced i assume. Ive heard that the head bolts are toque to yield and should never be reused on the 4v.

All modular head bolts are TTY and should be replaced once torqued and removed, unless you use arp head studs.

You dont have to get termi heads, any 4v C heads from 99-05 have the same intake port. They made slight adjustments over time and newer heads flow better of course, but if you send them off to get ported the year matters less. If you are going to go out of your way for heads, find 04/05 heads as they have 9 threads per spark plug. The thing with C heads is when you start getting picky they start getting pricy. If you go with 04 C heads that are in good shape, expect to spend ~600-800, however older C heads can be had for 300 or so. If I were you id look into getting an older set of C heads, then sending them out for a stage 2 porting, and throw your cobra cams in. Porting heads will cost about the same as getting cams, its just easier to swap cams down the road vs sending out your heads after your motor is done.

hello sir
u dont need a stroker kit or cams to hit 700rwhp with ur 4v. just get a good rotating assembly (forged, blower friendly around 9.5comp) and port those B heads. i have a built shortblock, ported heads and stock cams, and with 15lbs of boost i make the power ur looking for. BUUUT realize u need a bigger fuel system, stronger transmission, and rear end.
