I'm gona bid on these heads and I got a good deal on porting my stock intake for a pretty good price, I was told porting the stock intake could free up to 20 HP is this true and a good idea to boost HP gains on my 5.0??

I've never heard of Engine Works heads. They look like re-boxed Procomp heads. If they are Procomp's, the consensus is, they're not worth the money.

a 2.02 head is hard to do in cali

you got a smog hookup ? cuz it'll be tuff after the cam swap to pass otherwise

id probably stay away too....for numerous reasons

most being that they are 2.02

and no...its impossible to gain 20 hp by porting a stock intake, unless you were dyno'ing 480 and then opened it up to gain a bit of what your losing

a 2.02 head and a stock intake...no matter how many thousand you spend to port it, do NOT go together
