Andrew, you should have been at the last bike show I went to. There was a guy running around there that was riding wheelies on his big couch. Granted is was part of a stunt show, but it was impressive none the less!

And for all to enjoy, remember these that I got for the ranger:



Cleaned them up, now they look like this:



And this is the color the motor will be:



It's technically Chrystler Industrial Red, but it is the same color as Ford Impliment Red, so I went with that!

Karl,
those wont work on your engine.














































Sell them to me!

You are actually right! I had to get some blank 3/8" thick blank 2" flanges, port the exhaust out to that, then bevel the outer edge of the flange to meet up with the 2 1/8" header tubes. They probably would have fit your TFS heads no problem with their larger port sizes. My issue was the stock head roof mating edge would have been too shallow to keep from constantly blowing out gaskets.

At least they are ford exhaust flange pattern. Most of the uprights as well as higher performance heads are chebby flange patterns. Why I have no idea.

Probably why Chebbie parts are so much cheaper.....

The POS's keep breaking down so the aftermarket picked up on the faullty factory stuff and started building better stuff for them to try to keep that junk on the road! I guess now I know why a set of head bolts for my 460 cost $156, the stock ones just don't break that often, so why replace them?????

I can sell you some grade 2 bolts for about $1 each if youre interested. The best part is they are hot dipped galvanized so they wont rust.

I believe he still does, but hasn't decided about selling them yet. I asked him a while back about them and I think dubz had 1st dibs.

I can see it now, I put the grade 2's in, start the truck up and the 1st time I hit the little red button and I launch those pretty painted headers like spears out the top of the truck, with whats left of the heads still attached to them!!



Funny, funny guy.......... That's it, no more porting tips for ya!!!!
