Foxy Green Foxbody Build

[Patriot Racer]

When they tested SBF heads on Engine Masters there was surprisingly little difference between the smallest and largest AFR heads.
It's going to be a tire fryer for sure.

Do you remember how many cubes it was?

I've said procharger for many years, and I don't see that changing

Are you saying your gonna be saying that for the rest of your days ?

Do you remember how many cubes it was?

If I recall correctly it was a 408 tested with 165, 195, 220 and the 195s were best

However, they were all extremely impressed with the 165s and all agreed, the numbers told nothing about drivability. I think the difference between the 165 and 195was like 15hp or something. And the 220s ran almost identical to the 165s

For those that don't want to sit through the video...

410ci engine

218/224 with .513 lift 110 degree lsa 10.2:1 compression

515tq 471hp with the 165 head and they were all jerking off over the torque curve

520tq 484hp with the 195 heads best combo overall

512tq 474hp with the 220 heads

My favorite part is Steve dynos engines all the time for years and was still shocked by the results here

I'm thinking the low lift cam was holding back the larger heads, but we get the idea.

 

[KwiknFast]

Looks like a good plan...

I'll kill you, don't shit on my dreams.

Remember I only have .555 lift

I’m not saying anything you don’t already know. The flow numbers of the heads don’t differ much until you get into .600, 700, and .800 lift.

Took a drive today to visit the place where this all went to shit.

It'll be 20 years this year since the mustang ended up in this tree.

Lucky that truck didn’t as well.

To spite that fucker I purposely got sideways going around the corner to show it who it's daddy is

Half the money has been sent for a sbf 427w. Molnar internals, also got Morel lifters. 8 week build time.

I better start reading up on putting the rest of it together. I'll have to gather gaskets, measure for pushrods, check ptv...

I'm excited, anxious, and praying for the best outcome possible.

Back to you, Bruce.

 

[ratssass]

Good luck, Foxy!!!

 

[89 Fox 427]

Good luck, Foxy!!!

Thank you! I'll call you if I need adult supervision!

 

[ratssass]

haha....I don't know anyone.

 

[Patriot Racer]

Hurry up so we can line them up!
