Hey guys, im looking at porting some heads, I have some E7's Off a fuely and some old 289 heads. Ive been told that 289 heads are crazy once ported but also that the E7's are about the same when ported. Im just looking for some input, Thanks.
You'd better check on what each of the 289/302 heads really have as a difference, they did vary. Looking for power, find some inexpensive aftermarket heads.

1995 Mustang GT Cnv 347(427 stroker being built!) almost done!
1996 Cobra with Kenne Bell 2.1 Supercharger and every other conceivable part you can bolt on it...650hp upgrade in the works
2003 Infiniti M45 V8 340 hp...a methadone treatment for reformed Mustang drivers
LMAO OMG throw those in the trash and definetly dont use whoever told you the 289 or e7 heads are CRAZY when ported. They obviously have no idea what they are talkin about.
if those can be had for under $500 shipped thats a killer deal.
throw some good springs on there and go. the only thing is there looks like something is up w/ the surface, like they were cleaned w/ very rough sand paper so they may need to be surfaced

Unless you are going to do the porting i wouldn't waste my money on those heads.
x2. I did my own port job, otherwise it wouldn't have been worth it.
Those Edelbrock heads in ebay look very appealing but the only problem for me is the shipping cost of $8 per lb to the UAE.
