dan.i am local to you.

Thanks, texted you back

do you have to use a radius keeper with those?and have you had anyone flow test them in heads to compare with other brands,like the manley?also what is the oal on intake and exh.?

These are copies of the Manley's that Jay has run.  We copied those as Jay has already done extensive testing and they flowed great with this design.  Intake OAL is 5.750", exhaust OAL 5.675".  These are square groove, just like the Ferrea's, Manley's and most other valves so you have many more choices for keepers.

Private Classifieds / **New** SOHC Stainless Steel Valves - $685 per set
« on: December 22, 2025, 10:16:11 PM »
I'm offering up complete sets of Stainless Steel Valves for the SOHC, for both adjustable and non adjustable Factory heads as well as reproduction heads like Dove, Coon & Pond, etc.  I worked with Jay Brown to make sure these would work and also flow better than the Ferrea valves that cost $1,000 for a set.  These are custom made by SI Industries (located in CA) and manufactured in Argentina (same as Ferrea). 

These are a 1 piece design, 11/32 stem, swirl polished with 2.350" for intake and 1.90" for exhaust. If you need other specs, please feel free to reach out. Replace those sodium filled valves and protect that pricey SOHC.

I have a total of 10 complete sets for sale at $685 plus shipping.  I accept PayPal and can also provide an invoice using Square which allows you to use any credit/debit card or cash app of your choice.  I also offer local pickup in Newport Beach, CA. 

God Bless, Jim

Private Classifieds / Ford FE 575-2143 Heads for Sale **SOLD**
« on: October 23, 2022, 10:42:35 PM »
I have a set of good used FE heads.  I believe people refer to these as poor man's medium risers.  They have a great thumbprint, nothing looks damaged, although I would recommend a good cleaning and rebuild. Look at last pic, the measurements on these heads are almost identical to 428CJ heads, larger valves and runners, cheap HP.

I ship worldwide on buyers dime and accept PayPal if you pay the fees.  Also accept check if you're a trusting soul.  I get decent rates through FedEx so please ask for a quote.  Local pickup is always free and cash gets the best deal.  Located in Irvine, CA.  Asking $125 or best offer for the pair.

I'll take the "6)  1 TRW #L2298 427 .030 (4.258") Forged Piston w/pin (for 428 crank) = $25".  Message sent to yoiu here.

I don't know why but I've tried to send you a couple emails now and each time they are blocked.  Can you please call me at 949-370-8699 or send an email direct to bigblueovalfan@gmail.com.  I also don't have a message in my message folder here on this forum.

I will calculate the ship cost which shouldn't be much for 1 piston but will need your full name for the label.

Thanks, Jim

FE Technical Forum / Side Rod Clearance Question
« on: October 30, 2021, 07:59:20 PM »
I have a couple different stock 427 Steel cranks that measure 1.757 to 1.759 rod journal width and my factory LeMans rods measure .862 to .867, most in the .862 range.  This gives me a .030 to .035 total clearance.  It's been awhile but I seem to remember .025 being a max number for total clearance.  Building a couple hot street 427's and I'd like to stay with factory parts (replacing hardware of course).

Can any of the pro builders comment ?
