I had my Lincoln Y Block on the R&R dyno this week with some satisfying results.
It is a 383 inch 4.06 x 3.7 12:1 with ported stock heads.. 248@.050 .625 lift cam Hilborn injection.
A lot of old tech in this one
-
500 Horse! Attaboy, Royce. 1.3 HP per cube is a great result for the ol' hot rod Lincoln. Got any photos of the engine on the dyno?
-
Holy Cow!!! Good numbers! (But then I remember the rumours going around during about 1960 within the somewhat sparse FoMoCo performance community. The only things to talk about were the 352 360 and some work that was being done in Dearborn on the Lincoln engine. At the '59 Nationals a Lincoln-powered 'kit' car did very well in Modified Sports.
What's it going in?

A couple of pictures on the R&R dyno

It is going in this car... It should get me my 9 sec time slip

Those valve covers are COOL! You need to get some bells on those velocity stacks. Should look good in the race car. Will you be heading back to Slippery Rock with that one? ;D ;D
-
If you can get JC to crew for me at slippery rock I will go....
As for bells , I had to shorten some existing stacks since this whole system is kind of a cut and paste deal. I can only fit a 5 inch stack and the bells would have to be siamesed.. Now if I just knew a guy with a CNC and a lot of design talent.....
Valve covers come from a Continental MK II

Now that is cool!! I love the old front engine rails, and that engine is perfect in there. Looks like a rock solid and dead flat power band right where you want it too! The wheels look just a little out of place though, but I wouldn't kick her out of my garage :)
Very very nice, Royce! It's neat to see the '50s engines make a comeback. They kinda got lost in the shuffle between flatheads and the newer engines.
-
I Concur on the wheels. It now has Torque Thrusts on the front and slots on the back.. It's really hard to find a 12 inch aluminum slot with the correct offset
-
Very cool Royce, both the car and the engine :). Would like to see a few more dragster pics from other angles.
One question: are the smallish size of those ancient Hilborn throttle bores holding back some hp production?
I ask since IIRC correctly the bores are pretty small compared to later model versions for other engine makes.
-
That is one Bad Lookin' Ride !
Love it

-
Yes the throttle bores are smallish at 2.06 Smallest Hilborn makes currently is 2.375
Here is a picture at the Meltdown drags at Byron Ill from last year
-
JC and I got a little ink.
-
I was wondering how you got in that thing, but was afraid to ask...lol
And those Torque Thrusts and slots look so much better than the Lites. That is just a super cool car, Royce! What state are you located in? I'd love to see it run sometime.
And what is going on with the hose into the water pump spot on your old engine? Do you have a separate pump to pump water through the engine?
-
Doug I live in Stevens Point Wi. I run at Byron, Havana IL, Cordova, Sometimes Cedar Falls Ia I will be at Columbus Oh on labor day weekend at the all Ford Expo.. If you are in that part of the country you should bring your CJ.. A lot of old Fords should be running. 20-25 Y block guys. Usually quite a few FEs. The late model Mustang crowd will not be there this year so it should have a more vintage flavor.
The hose you see is the water inlet. My radiator is in the trunk area and an electric fan and pump for cooling
-
You should street that thing and run it in Drag Week, Royce...
-
I only live about 1:20 minutes from Columbus. I always try to make it to the Ford Expo and will make it for sure this year.
May have to bring my Dad also, who worked in the Lima engine plant for 30 years and started my passion for Ford cars since the day I was born. Even though he doesn't usually like modified cars, he would get a real kick out of your car. It always puts a grin on his face when he sees some old Ford iron running in a vintage looking drag car. He's still ornery at 78 now and always smiles when I show him stuff on the forum.

Hmmm Since I have 3 across seating space I could use 2 trunk monkeys!

Get some small, good looking ones ;) Not like the trunk monkey I got...

Hey, I resemble that remark! :o
-
I was wondering when you were going to see that LOL!
-
Royce you really are a diehard that's for sure. I love seeing stuff like this. If you take it to the rock I would love to see it run as I haven't been there this year. GOOD JOB ROYCE :)
