people skimp on heads.. dont be a tightass. im gonna buy some alloys soon

but arnt the vn heads injected ?? by changing vl 304 heads to vn heads mean that u need to change to EFI??

the injectors dont go in the heads tho

but you do need to change the extractors, cam and manifold

The VNs sound the way to go. just have to work harder and get the engine rebuilt sooner with new cam etc and hope the current exhause holds out and i dont get pinged by the cops lol. cheers guys. Tim

can someone tell me this are some/all brock 304s are 4.9 right? so why have vn-vt 304s have 5l badges?

looks better

all 304's have had 5.0 badges on them still, including the VK's they were first put into and VL's only ford badged their 302's as 4.9's

they had 4.9L stickers on the air cleaner

the carby motors are 308 its stamped on the block! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Not all of them are, I have a VL304 Carby Motor and it has 308 stamped on the block, and there are plenty of these around.

we are we arguing over 4 cubic inches?

i have had this argument so many times....VLs are 304ci and the VK is 308ci and my car had the 5.0L sticker on the air filter

guys it is quite simple and very black and white, vl's although running 5.0 badgework, are really a 4.9 or 304ci, if people wanna argue over this start a new thread

Or do a search, this has been debated for years..

4.9 introduced during VK series 2......
