FE Technical Forum / Re: using a gear drive on a sohc
« on: December 01, 2025, 07:40:49 PM »
of course i was only asking about the primary drive from crank to stub cam.you have to be on another planet with unlimited time and budget to do that one pictured.lol.
also the crank in this engine uses a bbc snout and i would have to find a crank gear for the primary that would fit.

FE Technical Forum / Re: Dove SOHC Head/COMP Cams Piston Recommendation
« on: November 29, 2025, 11:39:42 AM »
sounds like a couple of nice builds.i am planning on a similar deal,but a 482 with pond block and ford aluminum heads that i have.also have a st of dove heads,one has damaged intake port that we will repair.
what i have found on the net and this forum,sohc can take a lot more duration at .050 than wedge heads.also they like compression,so 11-1 is minumum for a good pump gas.theres some good sohc builds on this forum.as far as piston,i will use racetech which is down the street from me,and they have done some custom pistons for mw before with good results.also diamond or cp ,but prices on them is sky high.
have 2 sets of cams,both around .600 lift,and isky max blower cams and a set of lsm cams with 282 duration at .05.not looking for big hp,just a thumpen street strip power for my 64 fairlane.
with your extra stroke,you can run a smaller dome and keep compression up.

Yep, I wouldn't trust that one.  For one thing, it's Speedmaster.  Another thing to consider is how the bell attached to the front of the transmission.  I could be wrong, but it looks like it attaches via the front pump bolts, after the original bell is cut off.  A long while back Performance Automatics sold me a Powerglide with an adapter for their C4 bell, but the adapters bolted onto the front pump bolts.  After a few passes at the track the front pump started leaking like a sieve.  After pulling the trans to repair it, it lasted another month or so before it started leaking again.  So I wouldn't go forward with any bell that attaches to the front pump bolts.

I also see that Speedmaster offers a turbo 400 case, with a ring of bolt holes around the outside of the case itself.  There are 8 holes in their case.  There are 7 holes in the bell in the link.  I wonder if they make a bell with the 8 holes to match their case?  Not that I would trust that either...


was that powerglide a stock case glide with bell cut off?i have used the c4 jw bell and have not had an issue,but the c4 originally came with a bolt on to pump bell.

FE Technical Forum / Re: Who to contact about a running 427 to sohc conversion parts list?
« on: October 31, 2025, 02:44:40 PM »
robert pond motorsports.i think they will ship international.also,precision oil pumps has a lot of the small parts as well.
you may cost more to ship directly so consider an exporter to load in a container.you will have to change pistons as well.diamond has them and racetech can make them as well.

i think you could sell a few blower intakes for the sohc for sure.also the munro style dual quad intake would sell as well.i dont have either to help out on design but maybe others will have some cad work available.

Drag Strip Results for FE Powered Vehicles / Re: Still improving a little at a time
« on: October 09, 2025, 04:16:28 PM »
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 .
