528 CID Big Block Ford Engine Build

Update !!

Never Did Get it to The Dyno, But have it Mocked up in the car, Should be running and at the track in the next 6-8 weeks.

should sound nasty. I think you are looking at some high 9 second passes when you get the bugs worked out

High nines.....LOL

high nines??that can be done with a sb,im thinking 8s
lookin forward to seeing a vid of this thing doing it...

Yeah I may be under estimating your car because that is a big motor and I'll bet it has 700-800 horse power so when you get the bugs worked out of it should be a fun ride.

dfree.... YOU SICK SOB! That is a friggin Grossly over gorgeous motor!

I don't like the 385's for some reason, but your friggin engine is a masterpiece!

I am actually thinking about moving down in the world... http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/car/629325362.html
Here is a 64 I can make into a T-bolt clone with a 460 rather than a 427 but I haven't called on it yet... Still in the air on a 55 Fairlane or a 53 4 dr...

I'll never be a hard core racer, and I'll likely never spend 15K on anything but a home... But I must say this was WELL DONE!

We'd Love to hear it run!

Clones are cool !! You can still go plenty fast with a mild motor.

I'd do the 55 2 door with a Mild 460 or even a 390/428 auto and lay it down on the ground and make it look 60's custom, not radical and smooth.

2nd choice woud be the 63 fairlane maybe a 60's Super Stock Clone with a Small Block and a 4 speed

Motor is in and Running, It sound's Evil !! Was going to go the the 460 Ford Bash in Kentucky but its rained out, going to try and make a test and tune here in the next 2 weeks. Stayed tuned !!

Quick Update.

Hit the track last weekend in Kentucky.

Did a string of low 6.10-6.25 second 1/8 mile passes At about 116 mph on the foot brake and being very soft on the accelerator. Very hot and Humid too.

Going out again this comming weekend (weather permitting) to a 1/4 mile track in Pennsylvania.

Have't done any tuning yet but it really looks like 8.90 are well within reach and all the goals I had for this motor should be met !!!

please keep us updated,since buying my 82gt ive been thinking a bbf might be in order
