I've got a pair of 4.6 (allegedly) heads that I got from a RR breaker.
They are certainly EFI heads, but they have the same size valves as my old 3.5 heads ??

I've polished the ports myself and I run them on the new engine with a Blower cam from RS + Rhodes lifters and the uprated valve springs etc.

Works fine for me at the mo. But I am looking for some big valve heads.
