| RE: next question 428 build up / 500 HP |

When you say REAL HP do you mean at the rear wheels type HP? If so then you would need at least 600HP at the crank and this is a tall order with a hyd cam and ED heads/intake. 500HP at the crank is definetely do-able with these components. Here is the general recipe that will easily get you there:
750+ CFM carb
Edelbrock RPM intake
Edelbrock RPM heads (mild+ porting)
10.5:1+ compression
Hydraulic cam w/durations @.050 above 240 degrees and lifts above .600"
My stable contains both blue oval and bowtie products as well. Although I am a diehard ford fanatic my wife has a 65 malibu ss 327 4-spd car that she wants me to restore and hop up for her. Regarding reading material I really like David Vizard's book "How to build Horsepower" and Smokey Unick's "Power Secrets". Also, check out the excellent FE forum at www.fordfe.com |
