Got her disassembled. Got side tracked with organizing shop. Life is very busy right now so progress is slow.
Disappointed to see e6 heads with smaller exhaust valves, havent been able to get an exact measure on them yet. Has thermactor bumps, but not holes. Pistons im not sure of CC but disappointed to see that as well. Inside engine looks spotless. Pistons are carboned up from the valve seals that were leaking profusely.

Those pistons look to be above 20CC dish....a set of PI heads would put the compression in a sweet spot for a truck application.
Will you also pull the pan to check the main and rod brgs?
What is the intake casting number?
Exhaust manifolds look like std passenger car units - you will need to notch the passenger frame rail if you intend to use them.

as in a smaller dish you mean? I will cc them when i get my engine stand. makes me wonder, i was expecting flat tops based off the compression readings i got
With the way the cylinders look im tossing around the idea of doing flat top pistons, hone and rings, delnding obviously what the compression actually CC's out to be.
What would be a good cheap part # for this?
If i do that i well Probably have the block zero decked while apart. May have heads milled and cut the pedestals down for more lift capability. Id really like to run one of the mild lunati voodoo cams
When i get to my hunting property to grab my engine stand and bring it back ill put it on stand and tear apart, and plastigauge bearing clearances. Supposedly should have full notched bearings(or whatever it was called)
Very impressed with how clean and pristine the insides are, but equivalent of 14,000 miles on propane, it should be.
Intake casting number is RFF5JE-9426-A4
Its a cast iron D0OE style intake, huge ports, big mismatch
Manifolds look like truck style to me. I plan to go with headers anyhow.

I would sell it for an edel performer.
heads you will need to CC pistons to be sure....but if 85cc PI heads work out then you can check the boards on 460ford and 429-460.com and ebay.
thinking further...for real truck torque you might be better off with a set of decked D3’s from Scotty.
either way I wouldn’t call it lazy with the PI’s....but the tq of the smaller port cross section of passenger car heads would be slightly noticeable.
the PI’s have more power potential but the ports are larger to match the larger valves.
next step before head choice is CC the pistons.

I need to set up acct on 429-460. 460ford is basically dead.
I was thinking the same on performer, Ive had great luck with that and the rpm on various 429 and 460 builds in the past. This scj intake is obviously in good shape, i may try and see what it brings.

I may tend to agree on the d3's, I did have a set of dove's back in the day with 2.19x1.76 valves and exhaust porting, i eventually downsized to a small cam and kept the rpm intake, still pulled the 44's awesome down low in rpm with the 4 speed. Later swapped to edel rpm heads and slightly larger cam, still made good torque. Since the e6's are supposedly similar to d3's, maybe my best route is to take this head down and actually measure the valves to see if i really have an unsersized exh. valve. Then cc the pistons decide what direction to go.
Looking at pictures on the net, thinking these are 22cc pistons, i hope i prove myself wrong.
