@larsge cry me a river if you can set up the b234f 740gle 89-90 or 940gle 91 to push that many ponies I would still take it out and put it in something that looks good. I have been collecting these heads and keep planing to.

so i come across these heads on ebay every couple of weeks or so and after watching this video a couple hundred times im going to make the move and throw one in my tbird. i plan on doing many other modifications: bolt ons even rebuild the engine and maybe put a 2.5 stroker kit with it. how much power can you potentially make with this swap? i plan on fully porting the head and add some larger valves into it. do they make different cams for these heads? what should i watch out for?

I read it's not too hard of a swap. I think a 2.5 with a b234 head and some boost can be alot of fun =)

what kind of spark plug wires did you use?

@BuddysSnackShack care to let one go possibly? I've been considering a swap onto my 2.5L Ranger for a while now.

dude can u build that one if u can get back to me if ur willing to build another one

I wouldn't worry about the crankcase its an iron block but that's bad ass I've got an 84 svo that's what a late 80's dohc you pulled off a Volvo? I got a roller cam for a 98 ranger and put it in my svo and it works great

How hard was it to do wanting to do this to my mustang

@larsge I don't know about the crankcase but the factory crank is supposed to handle up to 500HP. I think most ford heads blow before the engine reaches that limit though. It's a old 4 cylinder that's been redesigned over time. It's not like we expect much from it. :D

@BuddysSnackShack Well.... i'd like to see that Ford crankcase cope with 700+bhp at 8500rpm......
