That being said that’s a bad bitch right there.

FE Technical Forum / Re: Cometic MLS head gasket misbuilt?
« Last post by Jim Comet on April 23, 2024, 06:36:16 PM »
I talked to Cometic and this is their standard design for the FE gaskets. I believe the exhaust chamber has been laid back on my ProPort heads which may be the cause of the overhang. My old round chamber design 4.165 Cometics did not interfere so I ordered a new set of round 4.170 MLS gaskets. I'll know in a week. Jim

Non-FE Discussion Forum / Re: Falcon Drag Car (not mine)

Nice looking Falcon, anybody know anything about the car? Engine? obviously a 3 speed automatic, is it a full tube chassis car, or still have the  shock towers? Based on the parachute, rear wing etc, they are obviously expecting it to go much quicker once the bugs are worked out, plus noticed a nitrous bottle inside. Being at Cecil County dragstrip in Maryland, have to assume it is a NorthEast car.

Mike, when you did your burnout, did the slicks smoke right away? I have always found that fresh slicks wil smoke right away, but old hard tires, take much longer to get the smoke rolling off them. Hardly scientific, but could indicate how subtle the rubber compound is after sitting several years. Also, soft tires will usually have lots of rocks sticking to them, but older tires don`t cause the rocks to stick as well. And, are they bias or radial slicks? I have never used radial slicks, they tend not to work very well with stickshift cars, but from talking with Stocker and S/S racers with radials, that once they start spinning, they just don`t recover like a bias slick will. And the radials usually will work with higher pressures than a bias tire, but they also don`t grow as much at high speed.

Mike, not sure what you have in it for ignition, but I'd check out the power to that to eliminate as an issue. Our drag car had all the symptoms of a fuel delivery issue, chased it for weeks and we were kind of stumped. Just turned out to be an MSD box that had bad power run to it and it was bugging out. Really frustrating

From what I understand, Ross asked Jay if it was ok....

If not, I'll take it down.  No biggie.

I am not sure why the "FE Engine Dyno Results" is being used to showcase other engines.
Perhaps Jay should flag these and remove them - or create another posting area for "other engines"

Directly from the first post in this section:

This board is for posting information on the dyno results you have for your FE engine.  I have put a suggested format below, and put a couple of example engines on the board to start with.  You can copy the format from this sticky, and paste it into your post, and then fill in the information.  If you don't have all the info (very few people will), don't sweat it, just fill in what you have.  If you have a photo of the engine, either on or off the dyno, please post that also.  Comments always welcome.  Hopefully this board will turn into a useful repository of FE engine data.

Interesting. The one I have is excellent.
Probably one of the nicest body parts on my car. You would have to see my car up close. :)
I have had it going really fast and it does not shake or flutter.
It's super light and fits great.
I'd have to give it a A+ rating.
