460 build update ;)
Hey guys,
Its been a long time so I thought I would give you an update on the big block engine project.
Just last week the block recieved a half fill of block cement to help make sure it holds together when I really get on it.
The SCAT 557 rotating assembly is sitting there, its a nice kit that comes balanced with dampener and flywheel. With the dished pistons and a small 72cc head it will be at a street happy 10.3:1.
I have decided on the heads I am going use, just can't afford them yet. They are a set of Kaase P-51 aluminum heads $2300US, they should make 700+hp very easy. I am also ordering they Victor style carb intake manifold drilled for fuel injectors from them as well. Going to use FRPP's newly released 80lbs injectors with a stock 5.0L harness and computer and a similar TweecerRT setup that I have on the 393. Then I'll have to take it to Wolf Performance in winnipeg for a custom tune.
Thats about it for the motor so far, if I have missed something ask away

Man, with 700 plus hp that`s going to be one fast ride!
Too bad Performance Plus isn`t able to do the custom tune, I`d sure like to see that!
It`s kind of sad cause with cement in the block there won`t be any more Bonanza style runs down 22d Street. Guess next time it`ll have to be in the 65 Mustang.

The only thing I haven't decided on is the cam shaft, I am deffinitly going with a solid roller style, but which one, or do I go custom grind?
Comp has some really nice ones, but does anyone have some good insight to help me out??

Sorry, I can`t help you there. What does Jon Kaase have for cam shaft recommendations?
I see that in one of his articles in this winter`s Popular Hot Rodding Engine Masters Magazine he mentions filling a Ford 400 modified engine block with "'Hard Block" instead of cement.

they are great like a one stop shop 
The block cement is The same as Hard Block, the stuff is cool it has the exact same heating characteristics as the iron block, expands and contracts exactlyt he same as if it was all iron
Really neat chemistry at work there

That engine is gonna be insane if you stuff it in that convertible of yours!
I am keeping a close eye on what you all do also, I plan on building my 460 up in the future, although Im planning on sticking to around 400-500 horse.
