| RE: high riser intake |

I made it. Got that sandwich down. Seriously Terry, if you "had" to mill those heads and you got more than just John's opinion at pro machine in LA, then I admire your desire to save them and use them. And if that block needed to be decked, again it's admirable that you're going to make it work and that's what a 427 is for. A powerhouse workhorse.
You never did explain why you had to mill the heads. Of course you don't have to explain why you'd mill a set of 427 Ford High Riser Heads. Maybe you just wanted to. And sure blocks need to be decked sometimes.
What we need to know is how much you milled those heads and how much you decked the block. There's a chart on page 15 of the original FoMoCo Muscle Parts book, 1969, that provides the amount that needs to be milled off of your High Riser intake to make it match correctly to the heads. If you can provide us with how much you had the heads milled we can provide you the amount you need to cut the intake. It seems like John at Pro Machine in LA should be able to provide you with this important information too.
The real point is if your High Riser intake is unmilled stock, it will never fit your milled High Riser heads and decked block.
And no I don't have the perfect parts. Like most of us, I've had to have numerous repairs and machine work done to make various FE combinations work properly. I was just a little stunned that you would have a set of high riser heads milled without an explanation as to why and then how much they were milled.
It's yours Terry. You do anything you want. |
