Call PEP in Vegas. they should have it.

If you got the cash and the clout, the mobil1 race oil division will custom blend your oil and that is what the top teams do.

I have used the China Elgin valves in boats, 2bbl oval track, basic drag and stock stuff for years and have yet to see one fail. The sizing, stem finish, out of round, finish on the 45 is so much better on elgins than the EPWI's junk line of engine pro valves its sad. I always have to polish the all...

I did this with 6.635 eagle rods. On the 7.0 block You have to notch the cylinders I did it on my mill. motor made a tad over 700hp at 5800rpm or so on pump gas and lots of torque. I used dart 310 heads, custom comp hyd roller around 250 110cl 600+ lift

comp cam breakin oil for flat tappets and vr1 for race roller motor.

search is your friend. The newer blocks marked 7.0l will clear 4.5 stroke with cylinder notching, the block has relief for the rod bolt.

for collet grinder you have to use a dial indicator mount on your valve grinder to get true valves. First, you chuck the valve just enuogh so when you and turn by hand the collet doesn't rotate. doing this and the machines collet becomes your runout fixture. slowly turn the valve and mark the high s...

Short deck. 454 block.

easiest short deck combo is 4.25 stroke and 6.385 rod 1.28 piston.

tall deck with 4.5 stroke or short with 4.25

Get an LS head & it's over for the Ford. Ford doesn't have current development & never will. LOL spoken like a true Govrnment motors libtard. Call me when GM produce anything that even comes close to the engineering in a Ford GT. GM never will and never has built anything that even comes cl...

Once again, Ford has not disappointed on being the most complicated manufacturer of car parts on earth. Why in the world did they make soooo many different engines??? Seems like they were grasping at straws to figure out what worked. Ok, whatever. Thanks in advance for any input. LOL Ford has so ma...

IMHO 380 is too much head for 572 pump gas motor. I would use 340 - 360.

with dry sump the engine is sealed and special crankshaft seals are used to help build vacuum. Only the oil tank is vented.

drain the oil and use it in an air compressor. Most non-detergent oils have very little ep additives

some have expressed concern that my oil pressure is to high, is there a problem with running 100psi of oil pressure? this is a race engine that lives it life full throttle for up to 90 seconds at a time. my thought is more pressure more flow, more flow more cooling. HP is being wasted. Oil is being...
