Any dyno numbers?

Did you buy the shortblock complete or did you assemble it? SHM, VT, ModularPerf,etc?

Very interested in the big bores

I am just interested period. Sounds like it should be very impressive!

Sorry for the long wait.

No dyno numbers yet. The motor is in the car though. The intake isn't installed as HP needs some direction from Ford Racing as there were lots of strange brackets etc

I used my stock shortblock and Houston Performance has done all the installation/assembly.

Eagle H Beams/Probe 10.5:1 Pistons/ LA Sleeve/ Stock Crank/ SHM valve springs/ Ferrera Valves/ HP Custom Cut Billet Cams / FR500 Heads Ported (flowed 300cfm unported at .5) / FR500 Intake / T56 / 4.10s / Griggs Front & Back

The Bench Racing dyno is targeting 400rwhp by 7000 rpms and a peak coming at 7500rpms to 7700 rpms

If I end up with 360rwhp like some of the other Big Bore Cars with 96-98 heads I'll be PISSED, no offense inteded to the owners of those cars; I just bought better stuff and expect more. The FR500 heads intake cam kit puts down 340rwhp via B Shephard with no porting. I ported my heads and am running a good amount more duration on the cams and more rpm so we'll see. These high expectations are making me nervous of disappointment :barf:

That sounds like a sweet setup you've got!!!

PLEASE keep us informed when you get it running and get some numbers.

FYI The results are 413rwhp and 330rwtq. I'll post more details as I know them. I fully expect after the rings get seated and I switch to synthetics I should have 420rwhp. I'm pleased.

Thanks for the kudos guys. I haven't seen the dyno sheets, heard how the car sounds, driven it . I hope to remedy all that this weekend. I am also really interested in how it handles as I put a Griggs suspension on the car as well. :joy:

I have a T56 and 4.10 gears so I won't be putting up monster 1/4 mile times, but I do aspire to hit 120mph as it sits in the high/mid 11s. :evil:
