Jays new block

[babybolt]

Would a raised cam tunnel resulting in different pushrod angles cause required grinding in the pushrod holes in the heads?

Maybe the block could be designed so a flat plate would bolt in underneath the cam tunnel.

Would the block have Cammer oil drainback holes?

Well that is the difference, one is a project that benefits the individual, one benefits the many.

I would like to see your '58 wagon.

I'll offer a ride for anyone who donates $100 or more...lol  (kidding of course, I don't want anybodies money)

Here it is in '88, when I drug it home. Flat towing it with my '77 Wagon. It's in storage right now (the '58, the '77 is long gone after going through 3 engines).

Getting off topic, but sweet. Love wagons, especially 3 door.

The raised cam might require grinding the pushrod holes in the intake.  A lot of times you have to do that anyway, though.  Also, if you bought one of my intake adapters for the raised cam block, the holes would already be ground for you ;-)

Cammer drainback holes would also be included.

Cylinder heads and intakes:  I am moving forward on these, since I have complete control on this design.  I hope to release the parts as production items by the end of the year.  I should have prototypes on the dyno by mid summer, and will be posting information on them at that time.

On a scale from 1 to 10.......tell me you're making new tunnelport heads.

[jayb]

1.  Tunnel port heads are just not happening, for me anyway.  Too many other irons in the fire, including my own heads...

including my own heads...

And this is why it's important to check fepower.net on a daily basis
Any idea when some port and combustion chamber info will be made to the peasants?

Normally, right about now, I'd be thinking "Why another head when we need blocks...available?" But at this point, ANYTHING that becomes available, actually, physically available, seems to be a blessing. Lots of new production stuff out there, that doesn't seem to be in production

I am keeping the project under wraps for the most part but I will tell you this much.  My heads will require a special FE intake adapter, and one of three special intake manifolds just for this adapter.  They will also require my custom rocker arms.  They are a complete departure from the standard FE head architecture, so anyone who buys my heads will have to buy the complete package.  The only normal FE parts that will fit will be the valve covers, and in one version, the pistons and headers.  Another version will require custom pistons and headers.  Normal FE intake manifolds and rocker arms will not fit, and of course custom pushrods will be required.

The payoff, if the package works out the way I think it will, will be performance that is head and shoulders above any FE combination out there, and at a reasonable price.

Heh heh
The block for the Fairlane is just sitting, and waiting for me to finish the mustang.
Will the gaskets need to be custom?
I know a guy

[mbrunson427]

Another version will require custom pistons and headers. 

I think he's making a hemi head guys.

Scale from 1 to 10, Jay

[Heo]

Only normal Fe part that fit is valvecover so i dont think Hemi 
Headers,Pistons,intake and rockers different. I have an idea what
it may be...lets se later if im right ....something "Forky" going on Jay?

[XR7]

What are you going to call your new heads Jay? Ultra high riser or super high riser, or??? FE Power heads, twisted power, or trunk monkey heads?? LOL. I don't think you will need a "catchy" name, but... inquiring minds want to know. Maybe we need a poll and vote on it?

I guess my "custom" HR top end will be obsolete before it is even finished? I know... what is taking me so long, right?

Sigh. haven't finished the last one yet. My wife is gonna kill me.
