427 SBF

Hey fox, if yer thinkin 460 then go with an actual 460, then you can push it out to almost 600 cubes when you decide to put patriot in his place 🤭

Making a 514 is very simple with a 460 block and I forgot who makes them but my buddy used a nice cylinder head on it.

I don't know who Uncle Tony is, and I am not really a Ford guy, but Kasse is one smart dude. I think he is the one that designed and sells the heads my buddy uses on some of his BBF customers.

If you are worried then get a pair of widebands. I use AEM's, but there are plenty on the market. Put one one each side. Will help keep you sage if you are really worried about things.

Just remember, a wideband shows the amount of oxygen in the exhaust compared to what is around the outside. If you have an exhaust leak upstream or at the wideband sensor location, the meter will "lie" to you. If you pull a plug wire you will see the wideband show really lean, but the other three cylinders can be fat as Rosie O. Also, if you run it so fat, fatter than Rosie O, it will also falsely look lean. But that is PIG fat and you should see black smoke at that point!

I use widebands as a reference. Once I see what the combo wants via the timeslip, I know what A/F ratio keeps the engine happy. Plugs will show the truth, but can't be "read" with a lot of idle/part throttle time. Full throttle is where things get hurt. You can really lean things out at part throttle and typically never hurt anything, unless you are towing.........

I do have dual widebands, one is temporary while I sort it out.

I had a fancy one that read both sides in one gauge but it didn't match so bangr got it.

Not the greatest, but good enough. AFR 220’s. I wanted the 240 High ports, but it was during Covid when the heads went up $1k due to aluminum prices. Went out of my budget at the time.

Well, I guess I'll know when ya get serious because you'll switch to canted Cleveland angles 😏

Sounds like the trick flow R's make some power, for an inline windsor pos 🤭

Must've been Canadian aluminum?
