I've heard that porting my intake will get me a few more ponies out of my Bronco 2.The only problem there is I don't know how to do that.Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Theres a littel more to it than just porting your intake. First porting is when you grind out the intake runners and it may help some or it can even cost you hp.It won't do much if you don't match the intake runners(ports) to the ports on the heads. In the 80s I built sprintcars out here in Califorina porting is an art. To do it right you need a flow bench and special grinders.The cylinder head design on the Ford V6 is not good for high performance with two ports going into one. If you will look at your exhaust manifold it only has two ports in it because the back two cylinders share one port.I would for more Hp in other ways. Like K&N air filters, computer chip, hot coil,etc.
