Default Au xr8 220 running rough at top end of revs

Hello everyone I've got an au xr8 ute 220 hand built in the last month it has been running rough around the 4000rpm like it's looking for fuel or not getting enough and if I put my foot down to quick it does the same thing?? Any ideas??

Does anyone know the valve specs on the yella terra ?

Pop a rocker cover, if the rocker has the Yella Terra logo on it they will be 1.72's. If they dont have anything written on them they will be Crane 1.6's. I would near bet being a series 3 it will have YT's on it, by the way it's not a 220 motor. Utes only got the 200 motor.

I took the rocker off and their yellas,
And she's a series 2 pursuit and the tb is also 70mm and the yellas so we rang fpv in Melbourne last week and gave them the vin number,
they called back today and they have confirmed its a 220, they slapped a few of them in some utes when they had leftover rebel motors.

Does it have an engine oil cooler behind the grill with the lines running to the oil filter block?
Rebels didnt get a special 220 motor ,it was the same 220 all the later series 2 and 3 xr8 got,i think ford just make stuff up sometimes,i dont doubt it could be a 220 motor but that ford story is hell dodgy lol...
