OK,4/4 fans, here's the question. I'm continuing to upgrade my 66 4/4 to GT=
specs, have a "J" head to work with and a question. Re: the intakes - the=
original 1500 intakes are actually larger than the original 1500GT intakes.=
Since it looks like new valves are necessary anyway, and I'm going to do a=
light port and polish and milling of the head along w/ the valve job,=
should I buy new "regular" 1500 intakes or "GT" intakes? Whenever I see=
specs that don't make sense to me, I assume they made sense to the=
designer, e.g., on the GT there was some reason for the smaller valves=
[cam?, ratio of intake to exhaust?]. Far be it for me to override the=
factory absent alternative expert advice, right!? This will be a road car,=
not a racer. I do have the advice of the Paul Davies book, thoughtfully=
provided by Doug Taber. Oh yes, I need a rocker assembly as well - can I=
use the original? Any advice welcome, including leads to others who have=
done this.PS the engine will be fitted w/ Weber, cam, header ala GT.
