460

It has bolt-on subframe connectors that are now welded and run through the floor. It has solid steel mounts on the 4-link with no bushings. It ran 11.11 at 127 mph, leaving the line at 5,000 RPM off the 2-step with my last 331cid engine turning 8,200 to 8,400 RPM. It made 470 rear-wheel horsepower (rwhp) but only 300 lb-ft of torque. I know this combination will break the driveline, so it will be regeared from 4.56:1 to probably 3.90:1. It will be 98% street-driven, as these days drag racing is low on my priority list.

Finished my 430cid Windsor on dyno back in September. Only will need the oil pan resealed due to a olive leak at the front where 2 bolts are omitted. Intake also need to be resealed on china wall, when I fit milled the intake I did not cut enough off the china walls. It will go in car in the spring as I want to do alittle clean up on the engine bay over the winter, including new hole-less fender aprons that I will need to weld in.

Awesome fab work! @MT Matt

I have Semonole Wind I my music play list.❤️❤️ RiP John

Doubtful that will stop most of the younger buyers.

Well it's official! I work at GM in Powertrain, have been waiting for official release.

Dad has a parts washer that they were throwing out at work, it had a squeaky bearing on the ac motor that just needed some oil to quiet it down, got it around 1999 or 2000 and had to oil again recently. Anyway it had a canister with a screen. A large furnace fuel oil filter fits in the canister very well, so we use that.

Looks like someone over filled the fuel tank more then once. Also looks like a cat used the muffler as a chew toy.

Nah just for mockup! Makes for easy checking especially with my makeshift adjustable pushrod with threaded rod. Nice I believe I remember seeing pictures of the car. Still have it? Mine is a 92 had since 2009. They sure have climbed in price. Thanks, Scott

Made progress on the Mustang 351W based 430cid engine yesterday. Camshaft arrived Friday, should be emissions/CARB compliant😃, now installed, along with verified lift just over .700, cleaned up heads and all the valvetrain, confirmed pushrod length. Also found out how poorly the intake fits for port alignment, off to be milled just like the 302 was😒. Used my IH 263-301 home made camshaft installation tool to install this camshaft. Thanks, Scott

This is one of the few not being tracked. They made a ton and I don't think there are many rare ones worth tracking. I will share mine at some point...Good luck. Scott

Do you have hurricane ties from the truss to the header/wall? Michigan now requires them, inspector caught that right away in 2024 when I had my 40x40 garage built. Builders was still working when inspector showed up so they were planned to be installed but not at that point.

Moved some snow with the 244 today. Fun little unit to play in the snow with😃. Tires are polished from all the snow moving.

Looks like it is no longer supported in the app store. This is the app I have on my phone.

Yup, still works posting now through the app. I typically just use my phones web browser.

A good auto parts store will have that in stock. Many carss in the 60-70's used a bypass hose off the water pump. Think I got mine from Orilys, asked if I could go in the back and look, found one close enough for my 656. I do like the temporary fix!

Ideal engine building weather in Michigan, cold and dry. Installed the crankshaft in the SBF after sealing up the galley with pipe plugs and a -10 straight thread up front. Had to order that plug special, after figuring it is different then npt. Still do plasigauge dry, just to confirm there is oil clearance.

Used https://lubbockgasket.com/ years ago for pulling gas 301. It was a composite material with wire reinforcement with a steel fire ring for the bores. https://www.cometic.com/ makes a MLS (multi layer steel), they go in a bit details then Lubbock on there site. I imagine a custom gaskets would be pretty expensive, but really don't know. Running this type on my 427 SBF v8 with a iron block and aluminum heads, suggested by my machine shop. Never had great success on sealing a copper head gasket with water on the gas heads. Probably why no copper gaskets are used today in mild street engine builds. Copper is mostly used for all out race without coolant.

We have a pair here that seem to keep coming back, year after year. We feed them whole corn. They have not had any babies since 2022. We live off a marshy lake (not actually large enough to be a official lake).

If I were in your shoes I would take a new or used gasket and send it MLS, Lubbock gasket or car racing gasket manufacturers. They SHOULD be able to make a superior gasket same thickness, there is a potential they or you would need to transfer the rubber sealing washers over to the new gasket. I would also think hard on buying a low hour used D282 out of a combine, or late 656. Scott

4" going in a 92 Mustang

This one is, it is 351 based with Cleavland mains and currently at 4.135" bore. I bought it used so dont know alot about it.

After recovery of fighting a cold, the last week or so. Finally getting the big bore 351 prepared to build. Machining was finished late summer, waited to build in the winter, with minimal chances of the iron rusting. Tapped all the holes today, mineral spirts scrub and then a bath of hot water/air, then finally blown dry with air. Next step is to coat the valley and start assembly.

Lol Thought this was for a heads up display for a farmall M....

Looks like you found some sod while snow plowing! First snow here in Michigan ground was soft here to!
