Hi everyone,
I used to be on here a bit YEARS ago when I was talking about doing the Arning Drop. That turned out well.
Here's the background: I have a 1966 Mustang with an unmodified, all original 200. It's got 112,000 miles. Block has never been out of the car. Head has never been off of block. I drive it 2,000 miles a year, using valve lubrication additive. Lately, it's developed a miss when cold. Also, in removing the exhaust manifold to install an exhaust gasket, I broke off two bolts. I was doing well to only break off two exhaust bolts.
So I removed the head yesterday.
Here's the question: In addition to getting those broken bolts removed, what else do I need to do to the head so I can burn unleaded? What other easy and cheap things can I do to the head to lift performance a little bit?
Thanks a bunch. I know this answer is on here but the search function gives me way too much info.
