No, the intake port is not like the SCJ at all.  As delivered, there is nothing about the ProComp intake ports that resemble the SCJ heads. Nothing. They are modeled after the D3VE intake port, in fact they are a direct copy of a D3VE intake port, but with less room to grow than the factory iron D3VE. Even a CJ port match (which refers to a gasket match at the port entry only and not the entire intake port architecture) can be more effectively executed on the factory iron heads than the ProComp head (unless you do a ridiculous amount of welding on the outside of the intake ports of the Procomp Heads). The combustion chamber shape is modeled after the D3VE's 95 cc chamber, not the CJ's superiorly shaped 72cc chamber.

Whomever is suggesting that the ProComp head is based on an SCJ head is grossly in error. I see this all the time with non-Ford enthusiasts that are instantly wowed by the big intake ports of these passenger car engines and immediatey assume "it must be a Cobra Jet!"  ::)

But these are the head you are running and you want more power. Please post a dyno sheet and the camshaft part number.

Will do the post on Monday. The Dyno shop is closed today for a funneral so I will have them send it Monday. I will post the cam numbers tonight when I get home. It was a custom grind and I have the cam card at home. Thanks for your advise and knowledge. Sounds like i should have talked to you prior to starting my bulid not after the fact oh well lesson learned Rookie mistake. I will get the most out of these that i can can go from there. Might run them on this motor for a season then put them on the stock motor next winter and get better ones for the 514

So when they say SCJ they are only refering to the intake ports?

Yeah, I asked for an open MRI, the comp doctor said they're too expensive, WTF is up with that?
maybe I'll have a panic attack at my next MRI 
I feel your pain on the MRI deal. They tried three times to be able to get me to stay in that tube for an hour and a half.
First day two pills
second day 3 pills
third day 5 pills still did not like it but they had me sedated enough i could tolerate it. I could not do the open as they where looking at my brain righ behind my ears and what ever they where looking for was small and need the close up  :thumbdown: :thumbdown:

What's your seat pressure on the springs? The best way to tell if it "needs" more cam, is to try the 1.8's back to back with the 1.7's on the dyno. That doesn't seem like much cam at all for that cubic inch thou.

I'm sure Ralph will chime in with his opinion
just talked to the guy who did the heads 135 seatd and 335 open

Just bulit a 514 stroker and made to pulls on the dyno yesterday and the numbers where much lower than i hoped for. I am 99% it is my cam shaft hurting me. I am going to change the rockers tonight and they will make a another pull on Monday (they are closed tomorrow) I am running 1.7 now and going to throw on some 1.8 to make sure it is my cam choking the motor.
Here are the details from i recall. Has been a long process so i do not recall all the exact numbers internally for the bulid
514 Ford
Pro Comp Super Cobra Jet 95cc heads
Manley SS valves can not recall the numbers right off hand
Heads are flowing 335
Weiland dual four tunnel ram
X2 QFT 750's
SRP flat tops
10.7:1 comp
Eagle crank
Eagle H-beam rods
Full MSD box soft touch everything
Pulled good tq at 675 ftlb but the hp was at 525 at 4,900 then just went flat as flat can be
The cam i am running now is 577 lift 284 dur hydraulic roller
What would you guys suggest i change it to? I have to stay under .700 due to the heads will not flow any more than that
Sorry for the long post and TIA
Stuart

Great work Stuart! Looks bitchen! How'd it run?

Ray
it ran pretty good still have a little tweaking to do nothing major. I have a vacum leak and i am almost sure it is coming from the base and the top of the tunnel ram so it is a bit on the lean side and has a lean pop at first once it gets to about 3K is clears up so i will fix that this week. The pump made a huge difference lost 300 rmp but gained about 8-10 mph not real sure on that as i did not gps it yet. I will take the impeller out and put my other one it as it is an Aggressor BC so it reality going to work more like a B+ should get me 600-700 RMP and should pick up a few more MPH. But this will do for now. Running probally around 65-68 with a stock 460 spinning a AT ss A at 4,300 RPM now. That is what i want from this boat mid to high 60's and can run it all day everyday.

I know your pain all to well. I am a few months ahead of you and the kids as mine happened in July. My daughter who was 4 at the time and since has turned five is still having a hard time with it all. For the first 5-6 months i could not walk outside without her screaming and crying as she felt i was not going to com back. She thinks er mother died outside and not in the house. This is something that she created not me. I have always been upfront and honest with her about her mother from day one as cold as it sounds i did not sugar coat it and told her that mom was in heaven and she was never coming back and that things would be different from now on. She will talk at times about her mom like remember when ...... It is still hard and I struggle at times myself but i have found that therapy does help her a bit. we are in a program here locally that is set up just for this it is kid driven to help them deal with the loss of a parent.
Like it has been said before you know but sometimes it is good to hear it from other to confirm your thoughts.
He will deal with it on his terms and you can not make him do anything realted to this that he does not want to. It is a long road ahead of both of us and it has it's ups and downs. I never force the issue but when she does want to talk about her mom i drop whatever i am doing and listen. I have even left work to drive home and talk to her as she called crying for her mom.
Him not talking about her is not healthy i do not know if there are prorams in your area like we have here but that seems to help Rylee. She can talk to other kids her age in the same boat (no pun intended) and we know it is easier talking to our peers than our folks about stuff like this

My dash is too pretty as it is and I do not want to cut a hole in it for radio that is the main reason i do not have one. There are enough people around with radios while hanging out on the beach or at the local sandbar.
