Honestly don’t know. She tried reaching out to some ford forums( didn’t realize the connection to the show) and all they sid was demean her and ignore the information request she was making.
Anyway, I’m personally don’t get geeked up over things like cars owned by celebrities and such. I like...
No idea of value and I am trying to glean As much info and pictures as possible.
No idea how to value but figured this group would be more helpful than the Blue Oval Snobs:
I know a price is needed so for giggles, let’s say $50,000 obo( I know it is high but I honestly am just trying to help a...
Yes I am getting assistance from a builder and he surmises based on the basic info that it is a 440 bored .040 over. I am getting my buddy to get some more info by pulling the pan and checking the connecting rods and the piston tdc to deck and bottom to get a precise compression number. Then we...
So what would you suggest? Changing the valve seems pretty straightforward but I still have a very high compression motor with a Cam needing(according to the specs) a 3500 stall and a minimum 3:73 gear.
The motor was built by Big2 engine builders in Gulfport, MS. The founder passed and the shop has been closed for some time. This engine was built over 2-4 years ago and it sat in a shop. The owner turned it by hand a few times a month during that time.
I intended to use it as built and...
So I’ve decided the 505 striker I bought was a little too radical for what I want. So we are tearing it down and making changes. To be clear, I’m not looking to make maximum HP. I figure 505ci with a well matched cam,TC and rear end gear will give me all the happiness I seek. Won’t be going to...
If you blow up the Picture you can see the defect.
These are the pics my mechanic sent so I have not seen them in person.
As for the pistons, I am trying tp get the compression down to a manageable compression. Not sure what the compression is as of now. as you can see, the piston at TDC...
Okay so we started tearing the engine down. Shame on me for trying to go the quick easy route. Took the driver’s side head off to measure bore and determine how high in the hole we were at TDC. This engine had been sitting since built for a few years. The owner would turn it over by hand once...
Yes. They spec’s for the crane cam the engine was built with. They also stated that a cam for a 440 will be milder in the 505. Don’t ask me to explain but the engine builder I spoke with went into great detail regarding the cam specs, torque converter, true compression, static compression etal
