RE: 428 cj Exhaust Manifolds |

I don't believe that porting/cleaning up the inside of the exhaust manifolds will make any difference. You reminded me that I did install a TCI "Street Dominator" torque convertor when I pulled the CJ/C6 combination from the Cyclone and reinstalled it in the heavier Galaxie. It was only around a 2,800 stall max. It may have helped a little. But the seat-o-the-pants feel of the stock torque convertor that I ran in the Cyclone was more responsive.
Stock steel inlet...? You must mean the cast iron intake manifold right? Here again, I don't think you need to do any port matching of a stock 428 Cobra Jet intake to stock CJ, C8OE-N heads. They were very nicely matched by the Ford engineers in Dearborn.
Now as for those factory light weight valves.....hmmm. There were problems with those especially for street driving. I'm sorry I can't remember the details now. I just know that those Ford light weight, sodium filled exhaust valves were problems.
Anybody able to help Peter with recommendations about these valves? |
