Get after it cowboy. You da man if you hit that number. BTW I think I've seen that manifold somewhere scratch

I think that intake looks like crap. Dave, you need to send it to me to hide under the hood of my muddy truck Twisted Evil

What's the flow on the heads looking like? Knowing your crazy arse, I can see you hitting the 800 mark.

I'll look for the flow sheets......

How long will a stock crank live at that power level?

IMO a long time in a drag application. I have one I've used is several builds from 625-750 hp and its still fine.

Lots of overlap and ford does have damn good metal as far as castings go.

I've been beating the piss out of the stock crank in my 466 with plenty of all motor and nitrous runs. Everything still looks new inside. Cool

Any updates?

Waiting for the Pistons to be delivered and on my next trip home I'll get the block to the machine shop.

Carbs are done sitting at a buddy's shop in Chatanooga, Heads are sitting at my place ready to go, cams been delivered, Charlie should have the epoxy done on the intake.

Mostly waiting on me to get a rotation home to get something done.

Got the pistons and the block is being machined

It may just be the picture, but those the radius on the ports entry looks a little rough. Also, the trend right now is using a smaller radius.

Regardless, it should still run pretty good. Keep the pictures coming!
