    Ford Performance/Ford Racing Shortblock- Who assembles these for Ford?

    I asked them if they would build an internally balanced short block and they declined to do so. I did however buy their air gap dual plane intake. I'm about to start a thread which links to video that shows what the guy who ported my X307's flowed them at along side of a Edelbrock RPM Air Gap...

    Ford Performance/Ford Racing Shortblock- Who assembles these for Ford?

    Pretty sure the Dart SHP is not 4 bolt on every main journal. You may be thinking of the Iron Eagle, and that's almost twice the price. Power wise, the SHP will take more, I think I've seeen 1500 quoted with the Ford around 1k. I think I have a line on the Ford 347 for under $6650 shipped with...

    Engine Duraspark ignition box

    If you wanna be stealthy, put a HEI module inside the Durspark box. You wouldn't be the first by a longshot.

    Ford Performance/Ford Racing Shortblock- Who assembles these for Ford?

    I don't think Blueprint zero balances their rotating assemblies. Or sell short blocks. They also quote a 6500 RPM upper RPM limit on their stuff. I'd like to make peak power above that point.

    Ford Performance/Ford Racing Shortblock- Who assembles these for Ford?

    I've seen what Woody offers. It's a great value. I think the Ford product is too. They are both about the same price right now. The only differences I can see for sure is that the Ford block may not have the same max HP capacity if a power adder was in play and I don't think Woody uses the same...

    Ford Performance/Ford Racing Shortblock- Who assembles these for Ford?

    Wonding if anyone knows who puts these together for Ford? I saw in their "sealed engine handbook" that it mentions Robert Yates as being a machining source, at least on the cylinder heads. I'm looking at their 347 short block so I thought someone here may know.

    Need some advice on upgrading GT-40-X303 heads

    Installing roller rockers is an expensive proposition these days when buying new. For a decent set you'll be looking at like $400+ bucks. If you can find a set of drop in springs then you could do it yourself on the car w/o even pulling the heads. However, since the heads have been in service...

    Drivetrain "Super Street" T5 Gearset, Supposed to be Good for 450 FWHP

    About ProMotion... I spent a nice chunk with Walt many years ago and got a unit that grenaded in the water box on a BFG drag radial. He wouldn't even open it up to look at it. Maybe he's not the same guy these days, I don't know. That's what led to my buying a 3550 back then.

    Interior and Upholstery Anyone replace the 85-86 climate controls with one from a 87-89 or 90-93?

    IDK, I didn't do the swap. But, the back of the newer AC controls seems to have a pretty similar set up.

    Interior and Upholstery Anyone replace the 85-86 climate controls with one from a 87-89 or 90-93?

    I saw on FEP where a member put the Aero controls in their four eye but not in the radio location, he did it in the console. He doesn't say anything about the vacuum lines, maybe they match up ok? Below His thoughts about making it work... "The blower motor used the same connector, but the...

    Drivetrain "Super Street" T5 Gearset, Supposed to be Good for 450 FWHP

    As far as I know, Tony, the guy who was running Astro, is out of business. His dad still has a transmission parts business that has Astro in the name, but I've been told he doesn't sell the gearsets Tony was using.

    Drivetrain "Super Street" T5 Gearset, Supposed to be Good for 450 FWHP

    Anyone think the stock case, that gearset, a stock mainshaft and a cluster gear support plate will hold a Blueprint 347 with 415tq with no drag launches, street tires and like a 3.55 or 3.73 rear gear?

    Does that flexing go away with a G-Force case, Noobz347?
