| C4AE-G vs. C3AE-C |
| By Mike McQuesten - 08/01/2001 8:28:35 PM; IP 63.50.125.15 |
Just returned from the Emerald City excursion and didn't see much at the Music Experience in reference to who Steve Miller learned to play guitar from but ...... another time on that.
I noticed that Eric asked about C4AE-G heads on that thread I started by asking the correct cc for the C3AE-C heads. As you may have noticed, Dave Shoe is quite a proponent of these heads and I must totally agree. They're junk yard plentiful and still cheap. John Saxon is running a set on his '63 427 and they work great. We've run the car on the strip here in Spokane and it runs consistent low 14's at a hundred flat. This is a 3,800 lb. fully streetable '61 Starliner with 4 speed and 3.89 gearing. On street tires. Stock shorty hp exhaust manifolds. All we had done was have one of our friendly FE machinists install CJ intake and exhaust valves...2.09/1.66 along with a little pocket clean up. The pistons are the original stock standard 427s. These are good heads.
About those C3AE-Cs.....I can't help it, I'm excited to have them. They have the exact c-chamber of the early '63 406 tri power. I'll have the 2.09/1.66 valves installed with the mandatory bowl work. Have them machined for spring cups and voila! A perfect set of HP heads! For very little dollars. John cc'd one of them last night and I think he said it came out at 62cc. Just what I wanted.
Hey Mr. F.....when will the 352HP be added to the engine spec page? |
