OK, so from my understanding a warmed over set of milled E7's will be best for my application.Keep the intake valve small -for velocity and throttle response- and increase the exhaust slightly for better scavenging?
So I'm thinking i might attempt a basic port and polish of a set of E7's, I'm sure i can find some from the local pick-n-pull. I understand the chamber is 62cc is this correct? And is it .006" per 1cc when milling? And anything over .020 would require the manifold to be milled as well?
Gasket match intake/exhaust ports and intake manifold.
Blend intake walls, finishing with 80 grit to retain some texture.
Remove thermactor hump and blend and polish exhaust walls, is it worth increasing valve to 1.55 from the stock 1.45?
Polish combustion chambers.
Will be referencing the standard abrasives article and diyporting.com
And GT40's are not good because of the 1.7 rocker ratio, right? Or can they be used with 1.6 rocker arms?
Thanks.
All this work you are describing on the E7s will cost you near $1000 bucks unless you have a buddy in the business. Get budget aftermarket, bolt em on and go. E7s are doorstops.
