They are available brand new here. The price has climbed up quite a bit.

Looking good Mike!

Thanks Ross!

Since I pestered you before about paint I'll ask:
What formula gold did you use on the valve covers?

I'm not certain what the color mix is in the gold paint. We have a friend that is a painter and I dropped them off with him and told him to paint them "Castilian Gold". He took it from there.

Been making some progress in this department over the last month or so. Got the engine started yesterday. We ran it just long enough to get the temp up. Oil pressure was good. Should be in the car soon!

Royce, do you have a need for some 65 Galaxie trim? I have a grille and rocker mouldings that I have been tripping over. Also have red bench seat upholstery. I would make you a screaming deal on any of it.

Joe, I have looked into this quite a bit. Not really because I plan to use it in anything, but more because of intrigue and learning.

Here's where I stand: If I were to run E-85 I don't believe I'd buy pump E-85. I would be sourcing it through Ignite Racing Fuel or similar. This is because the pump fuel seems to gum up and after sitting for the offseason would require at bare minimum the carb to be cleaned up. Ignite claims that their fuel wont do this. The bad part is this would kind of take the streetability out of the car unless you want to drive around with a jug of it in your trunk.

Alan, I used this product on my '62 Galaxie. Towards the bottom of this page you can see how it turned out. I liked this option because the price was good but also because the foil didn't have any text on it. Dynamat products have their name all over it.

I found the product again, looks like it says "STP" on the mat now.

Mike, if you'd like I can post more photos for you.

On here I always use https://postimages.org/ and upload them 640x480. It'll give you a link to paste into the text and when you post it, the link will show up as a picture.

Alan, just curious, what's your project?

We have balanced 3-4 Scat cranks for different engines, they never have enough counterweight. Always have to add metal to those.

If you're buying something fancy like a Winberg I would think that they would be very close.

We got the Mustang put on my friends chassis dyno this weekend. I wanted to get everything tested out before we take the car out to a track, trying to build confidence in the car. Everything checked out well!

The torque converter didn't seem to love the load situation the rollers were giving it. We ran the car up to 6000 a couple times in 3rd gear but the dyno curve didn't make any sense. It pretty much went up to 340hp at 2500 rpm and completely flatlined. After talking with a couple people yesterday, I feel like I should have known better. Running a high stall torque converter on the rollers doesn't give great results. Really need a lock up converter to make that work. Getting dyno numbers wasn't the goal of the mission anyhow, this was more of a functionality test.

I didn't get any videos of running the car up to 6000. Wish we would have, but in the moment the last thing you're thinking of is for someone to start their camera.

Out of all the TFS builds, I think this produces the most torque I have seen. Most of them seem to be in the 600-630 range.

Any ballpark on pricing and timeframe for the med riser heads

Can you inquire via our website contact form or email address. Being that Jay and us sell similar products I promised him I wouldn't push sales on his website, I only intend on posting info here.

Very pretty. Is there an intake in the making?

We're talking about it. Doing some investigating. The intake has been a common request. Need to see if we can get one made and keep the price in a range that people think is reasonable. We're also continuing to work on our bolt-on rocker arms setup. Trying to drive the cost down on that.

I have info on our website page. This stuff is a tad outdated, but it'll give you an idea. Once we get these heads worked through I'm going to completely refresh all this info so it is as accurate as possible. That's just the nature of doing some design tweaking as we have worked through the process.

We 3D printed an intake port with the pushrod tube in the port to simulate the affect of the tube in the way. So the port design we went with factors that in. It's not as big of a cfm loss on the flow bench as you might expect.

Hi all, just a quick update post to keep everyone updated and let you know we haven't taken our foot off the gas with the cylinder head project. We are finally at the point where we are happy with the castings and think we have made all corrections necessary to move forward with production.

The heads pictured here are "pre-production" sets that still have our "Interceptor" branding on them. The final production heads will have factory casting numbers instead. We took the whole day Friday to prepare all these pre-production sets that we have and figure out any tooling that we might need.

Some of these pre-production sets of heads are for us, to do testing and bolt on dyno mules. Other sets of the MR heads will be for sale to people that are OK with a few of the nuances have been updated in the final production versions. I believe all the TP pre-production heads are spoken for already.
