Another 4.7 to 5.7 swap

[chrisp2493]

Those are the seals for the intake. The seals for the exhaust have a black seal.

Hmm, didn’t know they were different. And quite frankly I don’t understand why they would be. I replaced the seals on the exhaust and intake valves on one cylinder doing some troubleshooting, I used the same seal. And I’m pretty sure I wasn’t too careful putting back in the same place when I rebuilt my heads. But that doesn’t mean I wasn’t wrong..

Don't forget these are the 6.1 heads...

For those wondering what happened......

Beautiful work! Now what are you planning on doing for the intake pipe? And what belt are you using? Is it a custom length belt?

 

[Madoyster2003]

Its 108 inches and it was a pain in the ass to find lol. On the bright side I did figure out how to decide the mysterious world of belt coding. 1080k7 was the exact belt. 1080= length in inches and k7 is the amount of ribs.

With the Pacesetter longtubes, how much work was it to fit to the 6.1 heads?

 

[Madoyster2003]

Its the same bolt pattern. I just welded and shaped the ports to match the d shape. You can just bolt them right up if you choose.
