in case anyone wanted to see some work i'm doing to my XT6 i figured i'd post here. i posted all this and more at xt6.net for those that don't want to sift through this twice.

 

the heads can definitely use some work so i smoothed all the intake ports out. removed casting flash (plenty of that) and made them slightly larger. i have installed plenty of heads in XT6 motors and until now never noticed how much the intake gaskets protruded into the intake ports of the heads. i ported the intake manifold, fuel injector manifold and intake ports to the heads. i also matched the gaskets at each mating surface in these areas as well.

 

delta cams, custom header, high flow converter, larger exhaust, dynomax muffler, custom intake, aluminum crank pulley.

my pictures are too large (659 instead of 640....grrrr....) and i can't edit them on this computer.

omg your engine bay is so clean.

 

the gasket problem-I made my own with gasket paper.

 

I did most of my work on the exhaust side. too bad mines just a spfi

i actually duplicated each gasket after i trimmed them up so i have exact matching gaskets for the future, just in case. i did cut some of my own gsakets for the water coolant passages.
