LSJ[edit]
Ecotec LSJ engine in a 2006 Saturn Ion Red LineThe LSJ is a supercharged version of the LK9 Ecotec 2.0 L— 1,998 cc (121.9 cu in)— with an Eaton M62 Roots-type supercharger and air-to-liquid intercooler. The LSJ shares many of its components with the LK9 such as: piston cooling jets, oil cooler, pistons, connecting rods, crankshaft, oil pan, sodium-filled exhaust valves and cylinder head.[8] It is rated at 205 hp
2.0 LNF[edit]
Ecotec LNF in a Pontiac SolsticeA turbocharged direct injected (redubbed Spark Ignition Direct Injection) Ecotec was introduced in the 2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP and Saturn Sky Red Line. In these applications, the engine is mounted longitudinally. Displacement is 2.0 L—1,998 cc (121.9 cu in)—with a square 86 millimetres (3.4 in) bore and stroke. Compression is 9.2:1 and maximum boost is 1.4 bar (20.0 psi), delivering 260 hp (190 kW) at 5300 rpm and 260 lb·ft (350 N·m) of torque from 2500 to 5250 rpm. Engine redline is at 6300 rpm and premium fuel is recommended. The sodium filled exhaust valves were based on technology developed for the Corvette V8 powertrains. The sodium fuses and becomes a liquid at idle, which improves conductivity and draws heat away from the valve face and valve guide towards the stem to be cooled by the engine oil circulating in this area.sodium-filled stainless steel Inconel exhaust valves

The engine uses twin-scroll turbocharger with electronically controlled wastegate/bypass valve, air-to-air intercooler, stainless steel dual-scroll (1–4, 2–3) exhaust manifold designed to withstand 980 °C (1,800 °F) turbine temperature, and rotacast aluminum alloy (A356T6) cylinder head with sodium-filled exhaust valves ford stuffford FE "The intake and exhaust valves are larger than those found on the 427 production engine".

Hi Barry your info was almost rite on. Ford did offer the sodium

There was a issue with the nos valves as the sodium corroded the

causing them to come apart as they were drilled to make the stem
hollow..the story I heard was the sodium was to provide cooling of

Hi Robert
Sodium valves were a feature in the 375HP version of Corvette 327
engines
with fuel injection. I don't recall sodium valves being used in
other US
standard production engines. Maybe some other exotic engines did.
Later
valve steels and technology made the risks and expense of sodium
filled
valves obsolete in HP engines. The idea originated in aircraft
piston
engines back around WWII, I think, and was related to trying to
cool
exhaust
valves under high stress loads.
The 1971 Cleveland 351-4V engines in Panteras (and Mustangs,etc.)
had high
compression closed chamber (quench) heads, single point
distributors, small
square bore 600cfm 4300A carbs and 2 bolt mains. The Boss 351 was
the only
351C to get 4 bolt mains, dual point distributor and the large
spreadbore
Motorcraft 4300D carb in 1971 along with high compression CC heads.
Some people have said that some 1971 4V engines found there way
into
very
early 72 Panteras, but probably only in early January 72 cars. The
1972
Cobra-jet engines would have entered production in Sept of 1971 and
by the
end of 1971, DeTomaso was likely to have used their engine stock on
hand and
have received new Cobra-jet engines from Ford. I understand
DeTomaso
was
generally receiving engines only about a month or so after they
were
produced in the US plant.
1972 Panteras came with Cobra-jet engines that had open chamber
(lower
compression) 4V heads but with 4 bolt mains, dual point distributor
and
large spreadbore Motorcraft 4300D carb. This was the strange result
of Ford
trying to recover some of the power lost to stricter emission
standards for
1972. The compression had to come down for unleaded gas and Ford
upped the
RPM to try to get some oomph back. They retarded the cam timing and
hopped
it up a bit to get the power at higher revs, thus the dual point
and
4 bolt
mains.
1973 and 74 went downhill from there, with increasing emissions and
lower
compression.
So...the best heads were in 1971, but everything else was better in
1972.
Unless you have a 1971 BOSS 351 engine, which never came in a
production US
market Pantera. Pity that.

were
produced in the US plant.
1972 Panteras came with Cobra-jet engines that had open chamber
(lower
compression) 4V heads but with 4 bolt mains, dual point
distributor
and
large spreadbore Motorcraft 4300D carb. This was the strange
result
of Ford
trying to recover some of the power lost to stricter emission
standards for
1972. The compression had to come down for unleaded gas and Ford
upped the
RPM to try to get some oomph back. They retarded the cam timing
and
hopped
it up a bit to get the power at higher revs, thus the dual point
and
4 bolt
mains.
1973 and 74 went downhill from there, with increasing emissions
and
lower
compression.
So...the best heads were in 1971, but everything else was better
in
1972.
Unless you have a 1971 BOSS 351 engine, which never came in a
production US
market Pantera. Pity that.
