8 valve head? did ford make a 12 valve head for these?

and why dont you put a FE DOHC 2.0 liter std

170bhp@ 6000 rpm

160ft/lbs@ 4500rpm so much more reliable because its standard, no components are stressed, and when u work these babies. WHEW they fly 280- 300 hp is possible with fuel injected, that means injector and full ECU's to get there, but if u took off injection just went twin dellorto or 44 DCOE's you could spend xtra cash on bigger cams etc
