You tell the difference by the casting. D Ports heads have FORD cast in at the exhaust ports, OVAL Pots have FoMoCo cast in them at the exhaust port. A D port inlet manifold is flat in front of the carb to the temp sender, an OVAL Port as a lump like where the sender goes
Good video thanks, I have seen a few people open the carb seat up so its one long oval apparently it helps with flow. Did you see much of a gain with port matching
Nice video, man! I'll be doing the same job on my V6 Cologne engine I'm rebuilding, which is quite similar to yours. It has mixed water and oil and it seems it was leaking on the intake plenum. I'll be sure to use some gasket maker around there!
I'm building a large workshop at the moment so no Racecar updates on the Capri. I was going to do an update on the HB Viva soon as the rollcage is 95% done and I'm close to giving the engine a first start
I run an Essex, I'm not brave enough to take off as much as that just yet, but I do have the 'step' problem around the rocker cover seals on both sides, as if the intake manifold has been machined more than the heads and sits much lower?
@@feralfabrications2465yea, mines a road application, apparently the W plate helps atomise the fuel?. Love your capri Bro 💪wnicholson1@gmail.com message me bro.
No I've only done the racing at Manfield since this porting the intake and since it was the first time at that track, I couldn't compare to previous lap times. Comparing to another Capri we race against, we were definitely up on hp.

Hey John, thanks I've pinned this comment so anyone watching the video will see this info. Cheers
Lovely Capri mate. I had a couple of Scimitars with the Essex, great engine.
i have done this mod and noticed a lot more torque, it pulled much better from lower down the rev range, also gave much more induction roar
Yes I didn't see any downside but would really need dyno to fully quantify it. I'm hoping to dyno it soon.
Nice very informative tutorial. Now we know from sunny 🇿🇦 🇿🇦 🇿🇦

Love the videos of the capri, any recent updates?

Is it possible to make your own custom ITB manifold?
Hi mate what makes gaskets are you using
Does this make a difference for fuel consumption?
I run an Essex, I'm not brave enough to take off as much as that just yet, but I do have the 'step' problem around the rocker cover seals on both sides, as if the intake manifold has been machined more than the heads and sits much lower?
Yeah I think if the step isn't there, but it really needs flow benched. That's something I'm working towards in the future
Noticed your not using the W plate under the carby?
No, there seems to be mixed opinions on that, strongly either way but I'm happy to run it without for race application.

Hey, did you test it on the road, how many horsepower increased
No I've only done the racing at Manfield since this porting the intake and since it was the first time at that track, I couldn't compare to previous lap times. Comparing to another Capri we race against, we were definitely up on hp.
