Hi all,

I recently acquired, from the salvage yard, an '86 F250 XLT long box ext cab w/ a 460, T18/13-45, 10.25/D50.

The motor threw a rod b/c the previous owner ran it out of oil (there was a bolt in the dip stick hole ). I've torn the engine completely apart and discovered the thermactor bumps are drilled out. Can I still port the exhaust passages?? Can I just plug the hole on the end of the head and be good to go or would I need to have each individual bump hole welded closed?

Also, is there anything special/different about the E6TE heads?

Thanks in advance for any info!!
