1. Be very careful dealing with that fella.

2. I wouldn't buy junk heads for 10k, you'll never be able to sell them. He's had them for 30 years for a reason.

3. Give me a call - we can likely work something out to get you to your mock up goal.

That seems like a bargain to me considering it's performance and rarity.

It is highly unlikely to find one at all, let alone reasonably priced. They are very difficult to find and quite pricey. It's the only cast single plane intake that will fit under a hood. EVERYONE wants one...

Non-FE Discussion Forum / Way off topic - Parts collection insurance
« on: August 07, 2025, 03:50:19 PM »
I am trying, with zero success, to get an insurance policy for my parts/engine collection.  I keep getting told "we cant do that".  Does anyone have any direct, real world experience with this? Better yet, a company recommendation...



Thanks,

Jack

The yellow top Optima in my race car is still holding strong with its 2010 date sticker on it. I'm amazed and won't replace it just out of loyalty to an inanimate object... Lol

FE Technical Forum / Re: Experience with Cast Iron Block Repair - Cracked

Thanks, Joe, I needed a brand to try and use.  Time is an issue on this and that is why I want to try the epoxy route vs other options.

The Belzona product is used in Nuclear reactor facilities and is seriously amazing stuff, but not easy to find for some reason. Per testing it does not shrink, expand or shift in any way once its set.  I am really surprised it is not more known in the muscle car community.  I have heard good things about AB.

If I were to have to strip it to fix it, I would just switch the block out. It's just a 390...

Thanks fellas, I've been using Ray for years, Lance turned me onto him many years ago, he is truly a wizard. But... I really don't want to have to take it apart. Was hoping I could band aid it to be able to use it in the car this summer.

FE Technical Forum / Experience with Cast Iron Block Repair - Cracked
« on: June 18, 2025, 12:11:25 AM »
I'm looking for real world experience for repairing a FE block with a sizeable crack on the side of the block. I picked up a very well built 431 Stroker a while back from a guy who pulled it because it was cracked in the water jacket on the side of the block.  It's about a 3 inch long crack running at an angle up the side.

It doesn't intersect the freeze plug and I'm pretty confident in repairing it.

I know lock n stitch is probably the best option. But I dove headfirst into researching epoxies and there's a ridiculous amount of options and avenues. Reading online has just made it seemingly worse to make a decision on what to use...

Belzona seems to be the king but isn't easily available quickly. This is going in a convertible Fairlane and I'd like to be cruising ASAP. Emp, A&B and other companies make epoxies that seem like a few notches up from the JB weld world.


I will eventually just switch out the block for one that is sound.


Any success stories or experience shared would be greatly appreciated.

Jack

Damn, should have asked what else you had on our deal for the rods, would have grabbed the rockers for sure. But I'm sure Ole Courtney will give em a good home... 😂
