511 FE Engine is finished.
A while back, there was a thread about Survival Motorsports and Keith Craft Racing, and their being delays because they were so busy.
I got a call today from Keith Craft Racing, that our 511 FE was finished.
Lance from KCR said that they made a video of the dyno run, so it will be interesting to see it on you tube when they post it.
Their dyno had these results. Not to bad with a single carb.
767.5 hp at 6600 rpm and 713.0 torque at 5,000 rpm.

The important parts are:
Pond aluminum block
Scat stroker kit, diamond pistons, nitrided crank
12.3:1 compression
Comp solid roller cam, specs not known yet.
Edelbrock rpm heads, with stage II KCR porting
Edelbrock Victor intake with stage II KCR porting
950 cfm Quick Fuel Carb.
MSD ignition
They said the valves were 2.25 intake and 1.75 exhaust, but from past experience, I found the largest intake valve that I could put into a Edelbrock rpm head was a 2.19 , so I need to verify that with KCR.
2.25 valves do fit in the Edelbrock 427 head.
The reason for this post is to show that KCR builds FE engines and puts them out in a reasonable time. They are very friendly and nice people to work with.

Ford FE Drag Race
The price of the 511ci is the same as the 482, so since we will be using ours for drag racing only, we went with the 511.
To run safely with pump gas, "as a general rule", you need to keep your compression ratio at or below 11:1
511 ci. has a bore of 4.375 and stroke of 4.25
The pond block is good for 1,500 hp, so we might at some point use our 250hp nitrous which would put us at 1017 hp. That should put us into the high eights in the 1/4 mile.

For those on a budget, KCR makes a good running 482/496 FE for $18,799.

19k is less than 26k
I saw somewhere a Chevy 572 ci crate engine for a price of 15k that made 720 hp. If a person did not care about if it was a Ford or not, that would be a very reasonable price for a high output engine.
I am a Ford guy, but went to the dark side by purchasing a Corvette so I could get to 200 mph. I tested a Mustang, before buying the Corvette, but the aerodynamics of the Vette was better, so I did not need as much horsepower to achieve the 200 mph. Even then I had to install a supercharger on the Vette to get there. It took 622 hp for the Vette, while it would take 700 hp for the Mustang to reach 200 mph.

Let me know where you can find one for that price. I am a retired Commercial, pilot with instrument, single & multi engine rating. We owned a Cessna 210, but when I retired, I sold it. Last time I checked, they were a little pricier.

I am just kinda funnin with you Bud. I also fly a lot
and understand the cost. I guess I am just stuck on
the 200 MPH thing you mentioned. And even though
I have driven some very fast cars the only time I ever
got to that kinda speed on the ground was
on the runway.
