    427 Windsor 460 Hp

    That tells me nothing.All it means it you got lucky. How would you feel if you told him EXACTLY what you wanted for a turbo motor. Then after a cam goes flat that he installed and he says "this is the wrong cam". Then a couple months later after a blown headgasket, pull the heads to reveal the...

    427 Windsor 460 Hp

    He F-ed me 2 times over on my build and a few buddies/other people that i know of. His head builder left and told me other things about my build that really pissed me off(put a N/A cam,106 lobe center, when he knew it was a turbo motor and also put in pistons with a 5cc relief instead of the...

    Lack Of Power On 331

    When i rebuilt my c4, i added a couple more clutches,76' Mustang II converter(2800 stall) and raised the line pressure.I used that trans with nitrous for years and then sold it to a friend, so now its about 15+years old and he's using behind a 347 stroker.

    Lack Of Power On 331

    I have a stock block and about 8.7:1.A block can split at anytime and there is no magical number.I have mine detuned to help avoid that.But i have freinds that are making 550 hp and it last for years and others making 450 hp that last a few trips to the strip.A main girdle just helps in keeping...

    Lack Of Power On 331

    That is true.Ive had mine for about 4-5 years now and havent any issues and they are good enough to support over 500hp at the wheels.My buddy with AFR's broke a rocker stud within the first 6 months on a "better quality" head. Sometimes its just luck i guess.

    Lack Of Power On 331

    The heads are not the problem. Alot of people that dont have them will repeat what they heard, not what they have experienced.I have Pro Comps but had them CNC ported and put new valvetrain.The castings are ok, but can be worked to be great.I would at least step up to a Holley 650HP. For a...

    Stainless Exhaust Without Drone?

    That is correct. Some of the Magnaflow and Borla have a slight drone(depending on the muffler type) but its not nearly as bad a Flowmaster

    Electric Fan

    If your core is at least 20" wide you could fit a Taurus fan. Undoubtedly the best fan for the money.It is a little power hungry, so will probably need a better alternator. It draws about 46 amps at start up and right under 30A continuous. Have you measured the water temp to see if the guage...

    Convertible Subwoofer Location

    A stock alternator is usally about 65 amps. its not alot, but your not adding a full system either,so it should be fine. Im a little critical on audio, so i would probably trust the Sound Ordnance model.Theres others out there, but this gives you a idea.The measuremants are 9-1/8"W x 3-1/8"H x...

    Convertible Subwoofer Location

    A 6.5" sub probably wont add enough, i would try to use a 8" if possible with about 200 watts going to it. You might also think about a self powered sub (built in amp enclosure) Ive done many subs behind the rear seat and they sound great
