Cool. looks like it's going well. Gonna have it running soon? Took that 400 mile round trip and bought those heads and headers. Guess I've got my own winter project this year.

Im interested to see what kind of #'s the explorer will put up. Are you gonna dyno this setup to see the difference.
Ya it'll be running by the weekend...i just wanted to dry run it before i ripped the lower...everything looks sweet....cool i don't have to run the spacer...didn't even want to do that again....
got everything i need minus a few feet of vac lines...
good deal you jumped on those parts....
you be waiting sometime to add to yours...
Hey Tom...check this pic....whats up with the back cylinders??? everytime i pull this i see the cleaner ports out back???? looks like the fronts get more fuel...
took this one to show you...

Somehow your PVC gases must be finding their way to the back side of the intake. It's oily residue right?
Yes its oily....it worse this time since the heads went on....maybe its not venting enuf???
Idiot5.0...yes..i been dynoing it all along as i add stuff....hope to get this in before the snow flies....i still gonna be running 19s tho....24s will be on for spring and dyno it again for the dif....
5.0GT ....i have Scorpion 1.6s...never really got to run em...the geometry was off, so i had to run stockers, i have longer pushrods and shims to get it done while its apart for the intake...i like the cam...i almost went the 18, but its a 1.7 cam and i had 1.6s....i'm no guru tho when it comes to cams....the 19 has a nice hit and pulls hard and smooth from bout 2800 on up...got a hellva mid range...playing around in the 70 to 90 range is a hoot....makes passing cars a hoot....roll into it around 70 in 4th and it pulls like crazy...seems like thats the sweet spot...

5.0GT 4th and 5th are ok if you run it in the lower RPMs....1st/2nd in low RPMs it will buck...i feel some low end is gone with the cam..not alot, but noticable to me...its a trade-off I guess...gears could help this out to..
eap95GT...ya, i would think you could add it no problem...not unlike adding any other a/market intake...good breathing mods to go with it would help, like exhaust...10-15 ponies would be nice from adding it...new injectors should also add some too...we'll see...

The PCV valve vents engine pressure, which normally comes from blow-by. Maybe you added some compression with the heads and increased blow-by some. I wonder why it's showing a bias to being sucked into the rear runners. That would seem to indicate more blow by at certain points in the 8 cylinder firing order. Done any compression tests lately?
Tom....thinking back, my old motor showed the same thing when the upper was removed. that was prior to the heads??? so its nothing new..
look at the original intake i removed...it was pure black all around??? maybe the ports are to smooth..and its causing it...
