FE Technical Forum / Re: Truck headers for Dyno
« Last post by My427stang on Today at 06:40:17 AM »Depends on the dyno, Superflow has some room, a Land & Sea I used once ran truck headers, and most Stuskas need a dyno header that look like a T-bucket, they have to go out and away.

Non-FE Discussion Forum / Re: Sound deadening recommendations wanted
« Last post by AlanCasida on April 14, 2026, 03:08:13 PM »Thanks for all the input, guys. I ended up getting the Kilmat. I did the floor, back of cab, outer door skins and door panels. I had quite a bit left over so where there were no fitment conflicts I doubled it, mainly on the floor. I already had some insulation/sound deadener in the roof, so I left it. I also found the clutch rod to floor boot had deteriorated away so I ordered a new one and am waiting on it before I can finish up and test drive it.

FE Technical Forum / Truck headers for Dyno
« Last post by c9zx on April 14, 2026, 02:30:51 PM »My in car headers won't clear the Dyno frame. I know Jay tested truck headers in his book. What should I be looking to buy? 1966-1976 F-100 352-390? I would appreciate some info as the engine is already on the Dyno. Thanks, Chuck

FE Technical Forum / Re: End of the Line for FE Power Cast Aluminum Products
« Last post by Barry_R on April 14, 2026, 12:00:59 PM »I take it 3D printing is not a viable option for making the parts? I'm aware that some very intricate parts like the one in this video can be made, but I have no knowledge of the costs involved.
So I did a small amount of searching. Appears to be well beyond EXTREMELY cost prohibitive. I'm still trying to wrap my head around how manufacturing facilities are justifying something like this (probably still too small for some of Jay's parts) versus having a part cast at a foundry. Both options require final machining.
Aerospace and prototype have moved deep into this. Low volume or first run stuff where speed of delivery outweighs costs, and/or where the full cost of tooling has to be amortized over a very few parts.

« Last post by Barry_R on April 14, 2026, 11:57:50 AM »So it seems Brian Nutter is the guy designing the lobes.(cant find a ton about him)
Brian is a very sharp dude. He has a lot of years in the industry - although little direct FE experience.
H put in a lot of time at Wiseco doing pistons before moving to Summit.

You don't need roller rockers. I've got engines out there with hundreds of passes on them running factory non-adjustable and factory adjustable rockers, with end stands added.
