If you are just trying to get it together for next year, I would pull it in the stock class to see how everything works, and then focus on building it up after that. Not saying that it wouldn't do good, but without doing any mods to the engine (especially a 79 460), you would probably be dissapointed with your results in a Street Mod class. Alot of the trucks nowadays that pull in the Street Mod classes have more stuff done to them then most people think.

 

Lol, oh no, no, I'm building it alrite, just not messing with building a 400, I just meant as far as adapting to a different block goes, I prolly won't build it much, just cam and other bolt on's (intake, carb, ign. etc.) thats why i ran into this post for building a 460, just looking for some cheap ways to do it to, i don't know if I'll mess with porting the head or not, might just save some money for an aluminum with bigger valves and when I have the money for that go 514 with it at the same time when i have it apart agian, I figured just have bolt on's and finish it off, I guess it just depends how the bearings look, I may just do it all right away, depends how much money my buddies wanna through in, then I'll get it balenced and go all out. As far as the truck goes, I'll just make my own ladder bars and blocks and just go with the axles it has till they break and then go bigger as it falls apart, lol

 

HEY GUY'S THE 514 BBF IS A 4.3 INCH STROKE CRANK FROM FORD RACING WITH THE CON-ROD JOURNALS AT 2.5 IN. JUST LIKE THE STOCK CRANK OF 3.85INCH.. ANY WAY I THIMK??? THAT A 514 WITH THE JOHN KAASE ALUMINUM HEADS FOR THE SCJ[@1100BUCKS] AND STEP TUBE HEADERS/ ROLLER ROCKERS/ ABOUT A THOUSAND CFM DOMINATOR ON A DOMINATOR INTAKE AND ABOUT 11 TO 1 COMP RATIO WITH A SOLID CAM AT ABOUT250 DEGREESINTAKE AND 260 EXHAUST WITH 10EGREE LOBE CENTER SHOULD GET YOU ABOUT 700 HORSES AND ABOUT 1000 FT OF TORQUE SOMWHERE AROUND 7500..YOU CAN GET THE CRANK FROM FORD RACING AND USE YOUR STOCK CON RODS AND A NEW SET OF FORGED DOME PISTONS FROM FORD RACING..CARBS AND INTAKES CAN BE BOUGHT AT JEGG'S BUT SINCE I DON'T LIKE HOLLY'S I WOULD USE A WIEND TUNNEL RAM AND TWO 750 AFB's I DON'T KNOW IF HOOKER MAKES A STEP TUBE HEADER.. CROWER OR CRANE CAN PUT THE CAM IN YOUR HANDS THE HEADS ALREADY COM WITH SPRINGS THAT WILL HANDLE .750 LIFT AND GET A M-84B HI VOLUME OIL PUMP AND IF YOU ARE RUNNING A REAR SUMP PAN YOU WILL HAVE TO PLUMBIT UP BECAUSE IT WAS MADE FOR A FRONT SUMP PAN,,BUT IT IS GEAR DRIVEN AND WITH A LITTLE WASHER OR TWO IT WILL PUT A 100 POUND OIL GAGE ON THE PEG.. CLEVITE OR MICHIGAN 77 BEARINGS,DON'T FORGET TO BUY THE TOP GROOVE BEARINGS SO YOU GET SOME OIL TO THE CON RODS..THATS ABOUT IT MOST OF THIS STUFF IS BOLT ON ALL YOU NEED IS MONEY

 

Up here in Ont CANADA we have a couple classes that are close to what you run, circuit stock, cube limit of 526 but must run cast in/out, put a damper on things for hp production, our other class super stock, is a little more forgiving, 526, iron block/heads, DOT tires, factory installed driveline with a bunch of safety stuff needed, I'm building a mill for alcohol, (allowed) using 430 lincoln heads, with these, forged dished pistons, compression is 17.8:1 ports outflow the cj heads, I got 425 on the intake, 310 on the exhaust, secret is 0 valve shrouding, valve sizes are 2.25/1,72 by the way, I have less than 5 grand in the whole thing

 

this will be my first post here



i do engines for drag/and truck pulling,and the stock iron head classes


one of the best cast iron engine that i have done and dynoed (cust wallet) 468ci
iron head dove,4150 carb, cast iron head,with cast iron manifolds dynoed 550hp
thru mufflers.

same engine w/headers 600
with 4500 dom 640 hp

this was a drive in puller,didnt need a trailer,


it you do a 514 theres 2 diff ways , a 4.140 or 4.150,like the above said,but this needs to be at .080 bore a 6.700 or a 6.800 will work depending on wrist pin,or comp height

or a 4.300 stroke which it a .030 bore< this works good for c9 or non cj scj blocks
