522 with dyno.Any positive or negative comments welcome.

1973 stock block,forged eagle 4.3 crank and rods,Comp roller 727 lift, victor 4500, 1 inch spacer,holley ultra 1050,je pistons 13:6-1,OLD a429 heads bought in 1994 ported, 2.22 in,177 ex, 2 inch primary headers. I have heard installing a vacuum pump may get me 20 more hp. Also a (HVC) spacer would make more also. Any suggestions???

what are the rest of the cam specs? fuel type?

112 and cam is 108 sep and 268 in 276 ex at .050.

You have flow numbers on the heads? Who ported them?

Intake ported?

Long story on the heads..Try to make it short and sweet. Heads were first sent off to be worked. Came back with 2.25 intakes and 1.80 exhaust. All I have is 348 at 7 and 219. The numbers were scribbled on a card and that was back in 1994. The shop that did them has closed up now. Anyway......2.25 and 1.80's ended up touching each other at 6700 rpm and boom! Broke exhaust valve head off..hole in cylinder..smashed up head..broken piston and 2 damaged rods... Been a long road to get back.

Sorry,yes the intake went with the heads.

those are good # 680 & 730

I'm no engine builder all I can say it appears to be good. Your torque and hp #'s are close to my 528. Good job

Read through my build https://www.429-460.com/t4799-my-build-my-fox-transformationlotsa-pics see page 6 for my dyno numbers and compare if you'd like.

Theirs a whole lot of power in updating your porting and valve job.

And the cam is a little off for today's thinking.

and.........look at the tq it was making at 4200 good numbers!

Im sure re doing the heads and changing the cam would yield more power, but it looks prettygood Id toss it in the car and go have fun...... there is always another build........

I'm really wanting an A460 setup but wanting to wait until I can get rid of shock towers.Maybe this winter. How would everybody (redo) the heads?? Engine builder is a BBC guy for the most...next will come from Kentucky ??? I believe from what I've seen on here.

Owensboro, Ky is definetly a great place to get a ford motor built.

put it in and run it !

1970 mustang with ladders bars. 315 radials, 4:11 rear and 1.80 powerglide. Weight was 3410 with me in it. I have removed back seat,rear package tray. Hoping I removed at least 60 lbs. Last et was 10.33@133. That was not a maxed out run. Any ideas on new et?

Should definetly be in the 9's

Ok, got the first runs on this engine in today. 10.02.....9.97.....10.01.... and a 9.89 after we went from 4000 on the brake to 4400. Damn, I was hoping for a 9.70 but we still have some small issues that may get us there. fuel.front shocks........Still seems slow to me. BOOORRRRIINNNGGG! Ineed more!!!!!

get the hose after it, it'll put some thrill into it lol.

congrats on the runs, very satisfying after all the hard work........

Yes sir. I will give it a couple races in spring before that comes but will definately happen. Gonna try to get to 9.70 first.

man we have the same motors to the t! just mines going in a 93 coupe mustang! this is a good example of what i will be doing in my car! keep at it and lose some weight and it will easy get 9.70 out of it!

Thanks. 20 year old front shocks kept the front end up the whole way down the track. Tried 90/10 and 60/40 and no difference. I am hoping to go ahead and put a mustang2 front end under it and get rid of the shock towers. Hopefully loose some weight there. A spacer and evac pump will pick me up some more.

IMO the must II stuff is more of a street rod deal, the travel is real short.........If your gonna spend the coin get a strut front end set up and be ahead of the game.

I've been debating that. I see some nice kits out there to do it. I also have a guy that can do it from scratch. I'll talk to him after hunting season is over Jan. 5th.

Ok,hit the track last weekend for 5 passes. Added travel limiters and new shocks(SA). Spun on first run(shocks soft,hit limiters and unloaded rear.) Second..took front shocks to 12 clicks and extended limiters. 9.83 and 1.379 60ft.......Third added 3 more clicks to front.9.86 and 1.383......4th we went from 4400 leave to 4600. 9.84 and 1.396. 5th went back to 4400 leave and tightened rear 3 clicks. 9.81 but only a 1.403 60 ft.........What gives?????

Congrats on the runs ! I too have been trying after a certain et with my small block car . Hang in there and the car looks like it is consistant!
