A 78-83 head off a granada or fairmont has a slightly smaller intake log compared to the 75-76. But the 78-83 has hardened exhaust valve seats and larger 1.75" intake valves. These heads are a direct bolt on swap. For the compression issue the smaller chambers of the older heads don't make up for the poor breathing of the tiny intake logs. You can accomplish the same with the newer head simply by having them milled. A 78-83 head can safely be milled up to .080". How would you like a head for your motor with a removable aluminum intake? It is a direct bolt on. If you want to check out some guys getting some decent power out of the 6's check out the forums at http://www.Fordsix.com IP: Logged
