Seems like the way the spark plug sticks out would hurt combustion..

Also has any one around here tried grooving their heads?
Here is a Quote from a post in a Hot rod Forum.

I have been busy with much of the same. Most of my work is with race cars and an occasional street driven hot rod. Here's an example of my involvement.

A good friend, Glenn was having problems with his super pro 66 Mustang. Some of you may recognize the car from Ford races in the Houston, New Orleans or Gulf Port areas. He runs a small flat tappet cam shaft in a high compression 351 Windsor. The car was running mid to low 10s but he was having problems with trace detonation at launch with a transbrake.

I cut grooves in his AFR heads and he opened the squish clearance. Normally I would expect the reduced squish to create detonation. The result was low RPM power that was too much for the car to handle. I was there for the first night out after the modification. The car ended up in the trailer because he couldn't control the wheel standing.

He has now softened the combination to allow launch with out excessive wheel standing. Needless to say he's convinced.

Here's some picture from his project and other recent activities.

Wow that's awesome! thank you for posting this!
In comparison how well do these ported E7's flow compared to a stock set of gt40 heads?
I still have the heads sitting beside my tool box.
Also what did you use to do the porting?

from what I've been told a ported set of E7's will flow as good if not better than a stock set of gt40's. I never had any of the E7's on a flow bench but I did have my first set of 302 D0OE heads done. I was very impressed with the results.


I got a pic in here of the tools i use... I just got done doing a set of 74 351C heads for a 400 I'm building and I'm now porting my 351W D0OE heads. This time I'm going as far as installing brass tubes in the push rod holes so I can open the intake port entry as far as I can... works great and lot easier than I thought.

here are a few pics of the 351W heads..
