This is going to be a low rpm motor.
By Troy - 07/06/2002 12:02:15 PM; IP 24.224.10.26
This motor is going to be a low-rpm grunter designated for use a grain truck. My dad has a 1964 F-600 with an anemic 330 and 5 speed tranny with hi-low rear end. We're hoping a freshly overhauled 428 will give the old girl some snap. I'd be suprised if it ever saw more than 4000 rpm once installed in the truck. Really suprised.

So, will these heads be make low rpm power yet yield streetable compression or should we go with some later model castings to lower compression to today's fuels capability?

Info I've seen on early FE's shows compression up around 10.5:1. That's plenty high for 87 octane but if the cam is chosen wisely, it might work.
This thread, so far...
