Re: Claims and Facts
By Mel Clark - 08/30/2001 8:29:14 AM; IP 64.12.104.162
Page 44 of Fords Muscle parts and High Performance book states that 390 4V engines are stock at 10.5 to 1 compression.
1958 T-Birds were rated by Ford at 350 HP. The standard 390 4V engines of '67 are listed at 315 HP and the GTs are listed at 325 HP on the same page; 44, same book.
I posted Ford'S PN for the screw in "core plugs" that I got out of Ford's SOHC engine manual. If you would like I can send some of this info by posting pages. I have many years of experience with the FE engine, as well as having worked at Holman-Moody in the late '60s nad early '70s.
The HP figures I posted for the 427 are from Ford's research and design papers filed with the S.A.E..
What other Information would you like cleared up?
This thread, so far...
