FE Technical Forum / Re: T Pan stroker Clearance
« on: March 08, 2014, 01:13:12 PM »
I am running a windage tray, but all the specs I have red from either Canton or Moroso they says stroker clearance no! I will call Canton on Monday and see what they say! I am sure that it isnt an issue. Just want to make sure before I make that purchase!

I have heard that about the Cobra T pan................and if I was forced to I might do it, just cant stand the looks of that thing. But if I head down that road I could always machine those fins and Cobra off of it.
Thanx!
Thanx!

FE Technical Forum / T Pan stroker Clearance
« on: March 08, 2014, 09:35:14 AM »
So I have a deep sump 8 QT Canton pan on my build, after mocking it up with the stock ride height it is fine, but I dropped the front suspension and the rear suspension 2 1/2" on all 4 corners and now that deep sump pan is too low. So I need to get a T pan. However when reading on the T Pan from Canton, Moroso I dont see one that has a Stroker clearance for a 4.25 stroke......................What you builders use?

« on: March 06, 2014, 08:43:18 PM »I always thought that the reason why the teardrop hood and GM's Cowl Induction and the cowl induction setups in NASCAR were open at the back was to take advantage of the high pressure air at the base of the windshield. Won't that mean you are trying to force more air under the hood rather than extracting it?
Well if you plan on going 150 MPH then that all makes sense, however being it is a street driven car and a FE.................not going to see those kinds of speeds!

FE Technical Forum / Re: Machining for 4 bolt mains
« on: March 06, 2014, 10:07:25 AM »As mentioned earlier on, why the cross-bolts on essentially a low-po block and one that will see mainly easy street miles? I'd do the sonic check, add the stroker but save the big $ for a large bore, cross-bolted 427 block down the road. JMO
Sounds like a bragging rights type of thing...............Which is I can get on board with, and a aftermarket 427 Block doesnt seem to be his plan on this particular car.

Just a report back the sonic report shows min thickness of .136 as the thinnest which allows me another .030, From what I have read the magic number is .100.

I think it is the luck of the draw, not that is completely applicable but I have a 406 cross bolt block that is 4.160 and it has well over .100 everywhere. I think the thinnest I saw was .116

I would still Sonic the cylinders and then decide to punch the hole size and then go from there. As far as the cross bolting goes, if your intent isnt to push it hard then why even bother with the cross bolting?

Certainly not going to be your average Bird, for sure
With the addition of this integrated hood scoop, and a Pro Stock Rear wing and a 100 shot of Nitrous, the 335/30-18 out back and the Big Brakes....................it should at least look the part anyways. LOL

« on: March 02, 2014, 06:59:54 PM »Just curious, with that much airflow into the engine compartment, how are you getting it out? If there is no way for it to escape, then airflow will be drastically reduced no matter how many fans there are. Getting heat out of the engine compartment is as important, if not more, than getting air into it.
Easy!
A Guy should always incorp a little chevy in every Ford...............Makes it run faster! LOL

« on: March 02, 2014, 02:45:43 PM »So did you just omit the expansion tank? Mine has ALWAYS leaked.I'm running a 4 core Howe aluminum radiator and having zero heat issues with the factory expansion tank gone, having the thing out of the way is bonus enough. Also running an ordinary parasitic stock looking fan. The system is closed with a simple overflow/return jug mounted to the core support.
And they are Fugly IMO!!!

FE Technical Forum / Re: intake for Jay's adapter.
« on: March 02, 2014, 01:46:07 PM »I strongly disagree with the 4v intakes not being able to support a 445 FE. It's not about cubic inches, but airflow to support a given horsepower. And I'm sure you're aware of the port sizes on a 4v Cleveland. They are big enough to support some pretty big horsepower numbers. Actually way to big for their cubic inches, which is why they often used the step-down plates. Joe could provide better insight, but I believe the head (mainly the exhaust) is still the limiting factor, not the intake or adapter. A good aftermarket head with a good Cleveland intake and port work should support 650-700hp quite easily.
I will have to agree, the Cleveland intake will support enough air to 95% of all FE on the road!
