Jay's book says that gasket matching didn't have much affect on the Performer RPM intake, but please take a look at what I have and comment.  The gasket shown is a perfect match for my ported C6AE-R heads so do I at least blend the one tall side of the port that is a mismatch?  I seem to recall that blending the bottom of the port is not a good idea??

I have an extra Cobra Jet block that is dated March 1970.  This is a bare block with the caps...but it does have two areas where the caps bolt down into the block that are cracked.  Can be fixed but figure its best for whoever needs this, or wants this, to fix it.  Asking $500 for the block.  Offers considered.  Located in Scottsdale, Arizona area.

Additional info; block is currently .030 over and has been run before so don't assume it will stay at .030.

So I mentioned in another thread that my 462 stroker looked strong on the dyno but isn't equally strong in the car.  It pulls strong, but I was looking for shredded tires in 1st gear with a touch of the throttle.  Maybe my expectations were too high?  This engine is in a '69 Mustang coupe with 4-speed and 3.50 Tru Trac and Polyglas tires.

This dyno run was with CJ iron exhaust manifolds to open duct and smog installed and functional.  About 515 TQ and 430 HP.

Complete set, new in the box. $195. plus shipping from 28721.

Here are the specs;

1.550'' Dia. Double H-11 Valve Springs with Damper,
Seat Load: 245lbs @ 2.000''
Open Load: 690lbs @ 1.300''
Coil Bind: 1.150''
Max Lift: .750''

Thanks for looking!

The application date for the popular Hooker 6114 for FE Mustangs specifically states they are for 16-bolt heads, then a footnote says "except Cobra Jet".  I sent a message to Hooker asking what this meant and the reply said that the CJ bolt pattern and port size are "different".  This makes no sense to me, and I know many are using these on CJ Mustangs with good results.

Has anyone determined the real reason for the footnote excluding Cobra Jet from the useage of the 6114 header?

I am planning a street 428 stroker build.  I intended to use the Scat 4.25" crank but a recent conversation with my engine machinist revealed he strongly prefers to use Eagle.  On the FE Forum, Scat is great and Eagle is junk.  I have an Eagle stroker kit in my SBF with no issues, so I know Eagle isn't "junk", but is there enough difference to worry about?  Is this the item I should argue with him about or save that for some other component?  Is it true that both are cast the same place but Scat is finish machiined in US and Eagle is not? (my engine guy seems to think the Eagle stuff is done here, and he can actually communicate with someone at Eagle about what he wants).  He will probably also prefer the Eagle rods BTW.

I would value input from this Forum.
