    Ford 289 How much hp

    350-400 reliable hp is pretty easy if you rev it to 7200. If you want to turn it 8000 or more 500 is possible. We did one for a vintage car that makes 550 at 9200.

    Affordable Power?

    I've always found articals like this pretty amusing. It might be done if you have a machine shop in house, parts at wholesale or less and your time counts as 0.

    Engine question

    John, not in my opinion. If you want a 4.6 engine I would start with a Hyland block and build from scratch.

    Engine question

    The engine block in the Ford GT is not the same production block as the 4.6Cobra engine. There are no parts that are interchangable. The 5.4 GT engine was all new from the ground up. Just like the 5.0 Cammer shares almost nothing with the standard 4V engine. You can certainly buy one of these...

    Engine question

    The 4V engine is not only big but it is heavy. A complete 4V cobra engine weights 620lbs, that's about 50lbs lighter than an iron FE. The main issues related to the engine is how do you want to use it. As a stock or near stock street engine they are OK. As a track or race engine they are not...

By the way, do you have the molds for the fenders and nose from Charlie's car? I also think the latest...

    Carroll Shelby vs Factory Five Racing

    The question was asked how close the FFR is to an original and quite frankly you look at them next to each other, they look like different cars. The FFR is a full 4% larger, 95" wheelbase, wider and taller. They also have rounded flared fender wells and the original were very flat down the side...

    Thomas, as a pro car builder I do understand that there is some teething problems with cars such as these. That being said i do believe the dealer should have taken care of it. Now for the issues you are most concerned about. I gather from the IR that you have stack injection. That can be a real...

    T&L Engines Quality Control??? - BEWARE!

    Re: T&L engines Quality control??? Wayne, the reason they are used is because they are cheap. To sell a stroker SBF for under $5K you have to used the least expensive parts possible with a minimum of labor. I build custom engines and I couldn't and wouldn't build one anywhere near the low...

The oiling system really is inadiquate for all out performance so HV pumps came into existance. Someone jumped up and said if it works for chevy's it will...
