Is it possible

jack90gt · April 10th, 2009, 08:00 AM

I have a guy that wants to swap me a set of ported and polished iron gt-40 heads and a comp 2040 cam and a set of brand new sfc for my gt-40 alum. heads....He told me the gt-40 heads had Windsor valves in them and that they were 2.02 and 1.60...Is it possible to put those valves in a gt-40 head?? He said he was running them on a 86 block with flat top pistons and no valve reliefs....He also said that they would work on a stock piston like the ones in my motor....

Dont quote me in it, but i believe the GT-40 Heads Do have Larger valves of that size ( Thats why people use them ) Where the Alum. Although lighter are smaller, i believe the same as the e7's but not exactly sure. But still flow well.

Dont you have GT-40X SVO heads? Those are actually pretty wanted heads by some, but if hes offering new GT-40 heads and a cam( is it new too? ) Then thats not a bad deal. But its up to you, is the cam swap worth the effort?

What the hell is "sfc"? The guy wants to swap you because he is getting the better end of the deal. You don't even know they are GT40 heads that he has and he could be full of shit for all you know. He is full of shit about the valves so he could be full of shit about the heads being GT40 heads too. Even if they are iron GT40 heads, the GT40 aluminum heads that you have are a much better head......which is why he wants them.

True story, andl ike Darrel said. Why would you trade aluminums for irons. Because of the cam? No deal. Tell him to no thanks.

southern fried chicken!
I guess the deal depends on if it is white or dark meat.

marlow331 · April 10th, 2009, 11:35 AM

id say it's probably possible to put those valves in there. ive got 1.9 / 1.6 valves in a set of ported e7s on the 331 in my ranger.

The problem is the guy told him the heads have "Windsor valves that are 2.02/1.60". No factory Windsor engine ever came with 2.02 or 1.60 valves and the 2.02 valves won't fit in most factory Windsor heads.

marlow331 · April 10th, 2009, 11:44 AM

ahhh... i missed that. didnt read that closely. yea he's probably full of shit if that's what he means. either way aluminums are generally better than irons.

jack90gt · April 10th, 2009, 11:48 AM

Sorry about the abbreviation for the sub frame connectors.....But thanks for the help anyways....

Trade because you gettin some crappy 100 buck cam and sum 60 SFC.....

A set of e7 heads on a 86 block barely clear...good luck with a 2.02 valve

flyin ryan · April 10th, 2009, 03:32 PM

don't trade... use those heads they are decent heads and shave 25lbs off each side of the motor over those iron gt40's.. that right there is worth keeping them in my opinion
