I talked with them at PRI. They had a supplier issue on heads and intakes, sounds like they use 15+ foundries for their products and a handful of them closed. That caused them to have to start back from scratch changing foundries on certain products.

He didn't tell us this, but any wise business you'd assume would start by getting their most popular products back on-line and work your way down the list.

Thor has built an engine with these. Not sure where that engine is at now?

Joe, we got a Joel's-On-Joy trans for our Mustang. He's pretty careful to build you what you're looking for, I honestly didn't have enough answers for him and told him "do whatever you think is best" quite a bit. It wasn't as expensive as you might think for a full rollerized custom C4. Be prepared to wait a little while, when we were doing ours he was building the drag pak transmissions for Dodge (which may or may not be public knowledge?) and of course Dodge took priority.

We have a friend running one in a pull tractor. It did OK last summer, he's still sorting it. Hopefully better this year.

Lucky for you, I did some of this research recently as well.

Not sure if you have noticed this yet or not, but the stripe is not actually straight. It's wider in the rear than front. This is because the fenders are wider in the rear and if the stripe didn't widen it would create the illusion that the stripe was getting skinnier as it went back.

I looked at detailed pictures of some cobra jet Fords. What I found is the stripe covers 13 of the cowl fins from the middle on each side in the rear. So if you count out 13 fins and make your stripe end just outside of those. The front dimension is 15-1/2" wide. Rear will be close to 17-3/8" if you count out those fins.

This picture shows the scoop with the front grille in it, a local guy helped me realize that it shouldn't be in there so it's since been removed.

Found another picture

For those that didn't attend...

There wasn't a ton of FE stuff represented (as usual), however, we did get to stop by the Trick Flow booth, got to meet Barry R in person, and ran into some FE powered cars in one of the main hallways.

We quizzed the Trick Flow rep about 1x4 manifolds coming back. He assured us that they are in the works. The foundry those intakes were being produced at went under and they had to switch foundries, which meant re-tooling for the new foundry's needs.











Not FE, but definitely SOHC inspired...this was in the Indy Power Products booth. 5.0 Coyote adapters and valve covers that make it look old and cool.

I watched the video and all I could wonder is if the engine was being built for Dan's Galaxie project??
