theres one on ebay for $6,000 right now.its from dove,and not sure what condition its in.maybe jay should cast up some intakes for the sohc.

just remember,it takes a full 1/3 more fuel flow with e85 over gas.make sure your pump is rated for e85,and carbs or injectors have enough flow.especially with a blown engine .

is this dove tunnel wedge style intake somthing that would out perform a stock ford dual quad intake?is it more of a higher rpm intake? say on a 482-520 inch sohc engine for street strip?

it would depend on the size and compression of the engine.i would guess closs to 6800 peak power.but i never used it.maybe some experts here can chime in.

after reviewing this a few time and rechecking the dome height, that this is a 520 inch short block,with 4.350 bore piston and 4.375 stroke.that combo does have an effect on swept volume over a standard 427.the little dome is .215 high and 4.1 average dia top to bottom,so that makes a cylinder volume of 41 ccs minus the valve notches,of approx 8 ccs.for a total dome volume of 33ccs.

1)also,did the sohc blocks have a highter deck height than a standard fe?
2)and are most sohc heads 120 ccs or so?
3)i have stock ford aluminum that i would use on this,or maybe some dove heads if i can get it repaired.
4) pistons are set up for pin buttons,can the be machined for normal wire locks or spiral locks?

Could you do that with a mig? Running a bead 180 apart on thrust side? Dont have an oven for this

yes,molnar has a h-beam rod that would work fine.i just wonder about the rod journal and rpm,maybe 7,000 max would be ok i guess.
