RE: bumping compression..
By Mel Clark - 08/31/2001 12:10:31 AM; IP 64.12.103.164
When I get better with this thing I'll email a page or two from one of my treasures (books).
I don't think the ribbed blocks were ever used in production except possibly the '68 427-390 hp cars and trucks.
I have bored the 428 SCJ blocks over .125 just testing the walls and and there was still at least .060 to .070 remaining in the walls. I dont know if it was that thick all the way around but I didn't bore into air. :)
I don't think NASCAR allowed the big Lincoln engines in '58, I think that happened in '59 or maybe even '60. I looked at a '58 NASCAR T-Bird replica on Monday and it had the aircleaner decal that said 352 High Performance, 350 HP. but then again anyone with a computer and a color printer can make decals/stickies and anyway Ford was rather optimistic about horse power back then. Ford did have some kind of strange option that I have never seen anything in print about, I was not much more than an onlooker when my friend installed a 430 Turmpike cruiser engine in a '59 4 door cop car they had a kit and an instruction book from Ford to guide them. Installed it with a 3 speed O/D trans at Speed Craft in Maywood, Ill., the car belonged to the Feds.
Have your machinest friend look closely at the block of the SOHC and compare it with an early 427 or 352. the early blocks were much nore rough to the touch and they would rust the out side pretty quickly if they were not painted. The High nickel blocks did not rust so easily, even in marine applications.
This thread, so far...
