FE Technical Forum / Re: FERR - Brunson Performance Recap
« on: April 30, 2025, 08:51:57 PM »I haven't seen much posted about the FE Race & Reunion on here. We wanted to say thank you to everyone who stopped by and chatted with us this weekend! It was certainly nerve racking to show up with brand new FE products that hadn't been outside of our shop yet and bring them straight into a gathering of FE enthusiasts. We left there even more motivated. The FE community is exceptional.
One of my favorite stories of the event.... We had made a "wanted" sign, looking for an air cleaner lid for our '60 Starliner project. Within about an hour of getting set up, Jack O'Brian came over and said "hey, I think that lid you're looking for is over here". Turns out the guy in the swap meet spot RIGHT NEXT TO US had one on his trailer. We were so focused on setting up that we hadn't noticed it. I have been searching for that lid for close to 5 years and it was right there.
Now that we have head castings finalized and being produced I will be working on updating our website with new info and detailed photos. Heads will be available soon. We have a 496" short block sitting in the shop waiting for a set of our medium riser heads, so that dyno test will be right around the corner. We also have a 505" Genesis block that's fully prepped, but not as far along. The current plan is to put our tunnelport heads on that block and run it on the dyno.
Here are some photos I took at the event:![]()

it was great meeting you guys… we have a few ideas
for the heads … my dad and i had the SS/D fairlane










. I kind of question the air cleaner base he's running....what do you guys think? If you watch the video on Ray Paquet's car, he also runs a piece of aluminum sheetmetal, but it looks to be the same size/shape of a factory oval base? I'm not sure how much the tech inspectors let slide, I'm sure the non-FE guys get away with way more anyways
