those numbers are for a stock displacement naturally aspirated 460 on pump gas, nothing to do with this engine at all, I wasn't asking for anyones opinion on my build, i was asking for other people to list their builds

I've been around this site for a while and i dont post unless i really got an opinion and i hate posts like this

afraid not, the last time I even looked at that gallery was to post the pictures of the 429 truck rods the you were so sure were the same as regular 429 rods, unfortunatley you were wrong on that claim as well, or that bbc and 429 2.19 valves are the same except for .150 difference, bbc uses 3/8 stems, same as 370/429 truck heads, or that 370 and 429 heads are the same, even after YOUR own admission that you don't know about these engines, or how you claim that you have a 528, but posted pictures of a 335 series, surely someone who knows so much about 385 fords couldn't make a mistake like that ,could they? as for any of my builds the only one I have given any specifics on is the one in this post, the 5" pistons aren't out of an international anything, or diesel anything either, they're out of a 9 cyl radial aircraft engine, I am very much aware of the construction of the 605 IHC, not anywhere have I said anything about how this engine was being built so you are way out of line telling me what can and can't be done to an engine you had never even heard of until I introduced it here, you stick to what you do best, following what others do, now if anyone out there has a 370/429/460 buildup YOU think is worth mentioning I would like to hear about it, THAT was the whole intent of this post

And also IF you actually bothered to know anything about a international 605 you would have known that it is a wet sleeve engine and can NOT be bored .370" over bore to reach the 5" bore for the piston you show as being from that engine, nor is that piston even from a 605 or a relative according to the international mechanic that lives next door that is a piston from a bigger diesel (yes I had to ask him about this engine because I am not that versed on the international industrial engines) that is right I actually researched before posting.

Oh and on another site you claimed 950hp out of a 370, now which site was that? Oh yeah that was your ebay sign in name until ebay locked that account.

You better look again, yes I posted pics of a 335 series build as the FIRST engine that was in that truck then pictures of the 528, second the 370/429 are 385 series engines and DO use the same heads as the 460, yes I made a mistake on the rods yet I still am not convinced of it, just admitted that the BOOK claims the 429 has the shorter rods but that the 2 of them sitting around in town here have the longer rods.
What I am claiming and everyone on this site is seeing is your are lying, you are using stories you have read from other sites, your posting information that is patently false and is going to cost someone that doesn't know anything a lot of money and that non of the stuff you say is even remotely feasible. The BBC valve issue wasn't actually trying to say the difference I was just stating there is NO such thing as a BBC valve there is valves with specific sizes etc your just coming in and posting BS to try and impress people and guess what NO ONE is impressed. The actual difference is .030 difference in stem diamter, BBF .341, BBC .371 and the BBC valve is .006 SHORTER. Like I said the whole point wasn't about the difference it was about just throughing cross breeding to try and impress people when it didn't even make any sense to do, that .030 difference in stem size is not going to make any difference and at real hp person would know is you order custom things like valves by actual size not by application. You have also been called on the carpet about the claim of using chrysler piston sizes yet list BBC pins and a whole host of other stuff as well as the claim your known on several other boards such as the netork54 FE board for scamming on ebay and I take it person when someone comes into this board with information that is going to cost money and is already known for stealing and scamming other people. You don't have to try and impress us with how brillant you are with the BS posted, just be honest, but any half intelligent person can read right through most of it, and know you are full of it, like the twin turbo claim on the 648 for example, using twin turbos that are each about max for that engine for size (they actually use 5" exhuast yet that engine will use 3" thus the lag would be astounding) yet with all the bragging not one picture of a single turbo actually installed on a single engine in your gallery, now someone that had actually accomplished something like that, and actually already has a gallery so it's obvious that you know how to take and post pictures, would actually post a picture of accomplishing that. but instead it looks like someone that has pirated pictures and posted them as their own to most on here. Now I do figure that since you have been called on it a turbo engine is soon to show up but your claims of defeating the laws of physics means that no one is ever going to believe a thing you post.
As to my engines there is a couple hundred people on this board that have actually seen and heard my engine run and actually a couple of people on this board that have actually even driven my truck, the only interaction anyone has had with you off of this board has been negative and cost them money.

So why are you so interested in others builds? So you can go to another board and try to impress people there too?

Oh and in case you hadn't noticed on your main gallery page it gives the last time your gallery was updated for all the worlld to see if you had bothered to look.

even your sig makes no sense, " if it dont break get bigger pistons". lol, ya simple as that, just shove bigger ones in there. oh well i see this going nowhere. I see monsterbaby with a gigantic headache proving this guy wrong. I guess if evil is right about everything he says hes probably one of the most innovative and crafty builders ever, but i highly doubt it

I have a 400 I built up. I used soup cans as pistons to reduce rotating mass of the engine and free up extra horsepower. I didn't use rings. I just had the cylinders machined to the diameter of the soup can and there is about .0002" between them. I am running about 12.23:1 compression and I can run 87 octane without ping by using 351M heads. I am also using a stock motorcraft 4bbl carb and an iron intake. It is pushing about 400hp and 563 ft-lb at the rear wheels. It get's me from point A to point B.


Try using that build and see how far it gets you!

no, he stayed away from the IH crank, as they are to heavy. weight was a concern because this is in his motorboat

I actually took my 460 and swapped out the crank for a 370 crank as my hp goals could only be acheived at 13,000+ rpms, so I needed to reduce mass a little. Next I removed the old iron heads and installed a pair of heads off a 2.2 Mazda I4, becuase they were lighter and shinier. I was scared of head warping causing a blown head gasket, so I just welded the heads on instead.

It was hard work finding a timming belt that would reach from the 370 crank to the cam's on the Mazda heads, so I just ended up glueing a bunch of used ones together I found at a junk yard. Now, my big seceret is that I actually installed my turbo's (both also from a 2.2l Mazda motor) backwards, so the incomming air actually is pushing the exhuast out, which is how I got away with the tiny exhuast valve that the Mazda heads have. Of course the custom intake manfold is EFI ready, so I used the stock injectors to inject NAWS since I was running 7 webber carbs in a dual stage setup.

Dont forget the liquid cooled square top pistons. By reducing the piston temp to about 150 degrees, you can run 15:1 on 91 octane gas. I did this to my 770 Jeep motor and gained about 700 horse!!!!

I actually custom ground the crank out of aluminum so I could save on weight. I was going to put a blower on top, but I ran out of room with the six 4bbl carbs I am going to put on the top. I was going to run 8, but the a/c compressor is in the way of the last 2. So I cut a few Edel intakes up and glued them together with wood glue and made my custom 6 carb intake. As far as Turbo's, it is in the future plans of my build, but I am looking at what the different kinds of cans I can use. I was thinking of re-sleeving the block to use Spam cans and putting 8 turbos on. Do you think aluminum dryer ducting would work good for headers? I think I will have to jump up to 89 octane gas to get the best performance!

I just found a flux-capacitor for sale on ebay, I think if I was to wire that into the a/c compressor, I could engage it with the a/c controls. Make a nice clean install. I am thinking about hiding the nuclear powercore in the toolbox, wrapped in about fifty pounds of aluminum foil.

I just don't know what color to paint it!!!!

Black sounds good to me. That way the cesna props in front of the radiator will really show up in the magazine pictures.
