so whos all running the infamous afr 165s on stock shortblock?

I do not have any technical experience with them. But I would like to give you an english lesson :). Infamous means to have an exceedingly bad reputation, where famous can mean more positively. Just thought you should know. :)

GroverDill do you have a stock block too? Because dont the blocks rip in half at about 450HP? That is just what I have heard.


I'm running 528rwhp on the stock bottom end with 14psi as well. Its all about the tune. Keep it consevative and the block will survive for a good amount of time.

Yes it is currently a full OEM Ford shortblock, it is a timebomb and I am fully aware of this. I am just a short time out from getting my 364 Dart motor from Rick :)
 
I know this isn't on my 5.0, but on my '65 Fairlane with a 289 I am running AFR 165cc non-emissions heads with an Edelbrock Performer RPM Air-Gap intake, 600cfm carb, Comp Xtreme Energy cam .493/.500 advertised lift (the entire valvetrain is Comp Cams stuff), MSD 6AL, MSD Pro-Billet Distributor, Hooker Super Comp Headers, 3.55:1 rear end gears, etc, etc.

With that combo, the motor has tons of low end torque and screams from 2500 rpm to 6000rpm. The heads would have no problem supporting more than 6000 rpm, but my stock crank/rods/cast pistons in my 289 won't!
