New to BBF

I am new to BBF world.Even though I have ,for years,been a Ford small block fan.I am currently selling off the last few SBF parts to buy a new BBF.Looking at buying a Callies 4.150 crank,Oliver 6.700 rods,TFS A460 heads & intake.Want to build a 514 CID engine to make 1500-1700 HP with my Precision 106mm turbo.The BBF seems to be the best way to make power as compared to the SBF.The BBF can be ordered with 18 head bolts to enhance gasket survival.This feature is the deal maker as far as I am concerned.Am I on the right track?  

Yes, you can buy A heads with 18 bolts and an IDT or a Ford Motorsports A 460 block with 18 head bolt holes.

Run cometic gaskets and all will be fine..............

The BBF is much more stronger than SBF.Besides all my friends have big block Chebbies ON NOS and a few SBF to battle these larger engines .The SBFs hold the line and kick plenty BBC ass.But I want to be different and show a few people what a boosted BBF is capable of doing.In my neck of the woods BBCs are a dime a dozen.Currently there are 0{zero!}BBFs in the race game here,Longview,Texas,and I am exploring building a BBF to race if plans do not change.Money seems to be a key factor in building any well built engine.I just hope I can pull this off in the future.I am currently putting the finishing touches on my street stroker for my Stang.I thank you for your support.

We'd love to be involved with your build.  Give us a call at the shop 903-486-7292.  We are not that far away. Take 80 over to 69 and head north.  I think it's about 2.5 hours.
