I have an 86 gt, that I have had for 7 yrs and all stock. Can you believe that. Well I have decided to make some changes, in the name of speed. So my plans are to change my heads, I'm going to install the E7TE heads and the upper and lower intakes. My question is, my friend has a set that he will sell me for a great price, but they have over 130,000 miles on them. He says he never had a problem, my concern is the valve seats and the valves. I plan on installing a spring kit, but I'm not sure if I need to have a valve job done. I know people with over a 150,000 to 200,000 mile on their stangs, and running like a bat out of he!!.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks Stampede.
