Does anyone have pictures of a standard end support stand that has been machined down to fit a Factory Ford C4AE High Riser Head as I have read here?

Tom, well that is an idea. Never heard of that approach of a bar overhead and the end support hanging down. How about just a single overhead piece for each end? Do you have any pictures to post? Were you planning on stock rockers or roller rockers?

What are options for a Ductile Iron sleeve. Stepped, etc? For the 427 428 motors? Thanks

Thanks for the input, so you have used the T&D stands for the High Riser cut down and they worked OK if I read correctly? I am assuming of course with the end stands cut down.
Yes, Presision Oil Pumps said to me that he was working on exactly what I described but that was a couple of years ago and I don't get any responses when I recently inquired about it.
Harland sharp and Blue Thunder having STEEL end support stands, if they were made I don't think they are any longer available nor have I ever seen a set for sale.
Everything being said it would be nice for someone to make them in steel for previous reasons noted.
It just isn't reassuring that when you remove almost all of the material on the bottom which extends to the actual end of the stand it would be very strong in aluminum.

Yes Blykins, thank you for the reply, but the aluminum ones (designed for the Low and Medium Riser and Tunnel port) are cut down for use on the High Riser and makes them much weaker. The support area on the bottom is probably more than 1/2 way cut down. That's why I was suggesting someone make a steel version for the High Riser.
But I take it you are saying that the aluminum ones even cut down add a lot of support. It just doesn't look like a lot of material would be left for support.
I am running a .600 solid flat tappet cam with no crazy spring pressures and I have already broken the end rocker off in 500 miles. Just looking for a simple solution. Other than cam motor is stock.
Rory428, end support stands.
Thanks again.

That is great info Frank. I heard about the step sleeves for an FE from Melling. Didn't know all available sources though.

Hello, just wondering if anybody is planning on making a plain steel end support stand for a Ford High Riser head C4EA-F. Something you can just bolt on a stock head. Steel> because there will not be a lot of material on the bottom for support and aluminum wouldn't be strong enough. Surprised nobody makes these yet. Doesn't have to be anything fancy. I'm sure there are plenty of guys with High Riser heads who would buy them. The only alternative is the Dove System which is very nice but too elaborate for a street engine and nobody is going to want to loosen and replace head bolts on a running sealed engine.

FE Technical Forum / Proper sleeve for a 427 Ductile Iron or Regular Cast Iron
« on: March 13, 2023, 10:04:53 PM »
Just wondering which would be a better choice or best match for a 427 FE if just putting in 1 sleeve. The harder Ductile Iron or a Standard Cast Iron sleeve?

No, I never ran it. The deck looks fine, the hairline crack is in the lower half. I would think it would be at the top where the pressure is. It's at the bottom of the cylinder and runs up about halfway. Maybe it had water and froze? Who knows. I guess the pistons would be 4.195 for a 4.200 bore? Who makes the 4.190's pistons? Thanks Brent. Also if this block was already sleeved, could it be sleeved again to bring it back to a standard bore 428? How many times could a block be sleeved?
If run at the 4.200 bore, I would probably put Medium Riser Heads on it.

Just wondering if there are any off the shelf pistons for a 428 with a 4.200 bore. Currently has 1 split cylinder but I might resleeve that one hole and short fill and go with it. Block currently has all 8 cylinders sleeved and is home made cross bolted w/427 caps. This is a 73 "C" heavy duty block.

Just looks like they were chopped pretty good. Second thumb print is almost gone. I would say at least .060" taken off.
