Default Patriot Alum Heads 185cc $$SALE$$ Pics...>

Well,

we received the first batch of heads and they look pretty nice compared to the stock E7's. For the money, these will be a solid choice for those searching for some serious power gains on the cheap. Here's some pics as we tore down one of our mechanics 84 GT for the swap. We'll have them installed and running late tonight so dyno results will be tomorrow if we're lucky.

Anyway, for now you can see the dramatic difference in the chambers, bowls, valve sizes, and port comparisons. Sorry for the rough pics, but we didn't want to wait to get these tested and let you know what to expect from them. For the 1st 6 sets we have left we're running an intro deal at $850 shipped. These come assembled complete, ready to bolt on and sprung up to a .550 lift hyd roller cam.

Here's what you'll need for the swap:

Heads $850
Rockers (3/8 stud mount) $229
Head Gaskets (Felpro 1011-2) $70/pr
Intake Gaskets (Felpro 1250) $25/pr
Exhaust Gaskets (Felpro 1415) $20/pr
Hardened Pushrods (may change from stock pending your cam) $86/set
Valve Cover Gaskets (rubber or cork) $15/pr
ARP Head Bolt Kit (ARP-154-3601 ) $40/set

Total: $1335 in parts Labor if you have someone or a shop swap would most likely run between $250-$600. Not bad for a serious bump in HP/TQ as well as an extra 50-75lbs off the nose of your steed.

Here are some other recommended parts to add to the build if you're looking for even more power and performance:

Intake Manifold (EFI) $350-$550
Hyd Roller Cam $150-$190
New Roller Lifters $110/set
New Dbl Roller Timing Set $40-$75
Front Cover Gaskets $25
65mm-75mm TB & EGR $200-$325
Cold Air Kit $140-$190
Rear Gear Upgrade (3.55-4.30) $150-$225
Headers (Long Tube or Short) $125-$300
Mid Pipe to go with Headers $130-$185


That should give you guys a ton of options on getting the most out of a tired fox. If you don't think the engine is up to spec or just has too many miles then we also have shortblocks or longbocks available from $1599 (306 - balanced and blueprinted with Forged Probe Pistons, Prepped Rods, Prepped Crank, New block 0.30 over, including ARP main & rod bolts and performance rings & bearings, assembled and ready to add the above parts to.)

Check out the pics and let us know what you think...results coming soon.

Compare the Stock E7's to the new Patriot Freedom 185 cc Alum Head with 2.02 & 1.6 Valves 60cc chambers:





















Here's the little 306 stepping up:

Those heads look ported to me are they ported or right out of the box?
Just wanted to know so we dont expect the same dyno numbers from an unported set?
I did not see in your post were you mention that these heads are ported?
see image.........

These are straight out of the box. They come as-cast but then Patriot does a port match on the intake, exhaust, and cleans up the bowls a bit. They also port in around the base of the valve guide to un-shroud it as well. These are just a few rough pics from last night as they came out of the box next to the old E7's right off the motor in the pics.
