Just kind of curious as to how far an FE can be safely decked before running into strength issues.

Member Projects / Twin Novi Supercharged FE
« on: October 27, 2013, 08:48:37 PM »
Here's some pictures of a project that I'm working on. Its a 69 Mustang Fastback Restomod that will be powered by twin Novi superchargers, alum Pond block, Edelbrock heads, X-66 intake. Exact cubes have yet to be determined but it will probably be in the 480 range and expected horsepower over 1000. The owner picked the engine builder so its in his hands. The blower fab work is being handled by Precision Chassis in Pottstown Pa. Their work is top notch so I feel very comfortable handing this part of the job off to them. These are early fab work photos and I'll have some more to come once the car gets back to my shop.

Private Classifieds / Forged 427 Wide Journal NASCAR crankshaft
« on: October 19, 2013, 12:15:17 AM »
I had this crank checked out and turned for a 427 I was building but never used it because I couldn't find the rods. Its currently 20/20 with some minor pitting in a couple of journals. You could turn it further but I was going to run it as it was. It comes with a set of main bearings but no rod bearings. I would love to trade for a set of Scat 6.7 BBC rods or a steel 4.125 stroker crank or both with some cash thrown in from my end. I would also sell it outright for $500 to help fund my engine build. Please email me at dwalters1450@verizon.net   Thanks for the great website Jay!!

I just got a set of Edelbrock heads the other day and had my first chance to eye them up. I have a concern over the depth and shape of the spark plug hole in the combustion chamber. Does it present a problem as far as proper flame travel or turbulence issues due to its design? If so what steps should I take to correct the problem? I thought of welding it up, reshaping it and, moving the spark plug further into the chamber by deepening the recess where the spark plug seats on the outside of the head. It seems I might be able to drop the cc's of the chamber if I did this or am I wrong?

Is this a real concern or am I just looking too hard at things and should I just leave it alone? Thanks guys!!
