Back in the day, everyone had their own little tricks to get the last pony out of the car. Some of my Dad’s friends ran dirt track. This was back when almost every neighborhood had their own dirt track. These guys had a way to optimize their exhaust by running collector extensions like you guys did first off. But these guys had a unique way of finding the correct length. They would paint the pipe with white paint and run the car around the track a few laps. When they came back in there would be an area where the extension was burned. That was where they cut the extension off. Don’t know if it worked but that was the story.

it does work, and yes, it was paint not chalk. Flowmaster designed some amazing "collectors" that replaced the collector on a basic set of 4-into-1 generic headers and made them a Tri Y setup while adding length before the crossover pipe. but this video shows that just disconnecting the headers at the strip isn't getting the most power out of the engine.

I'm shocked the Speedmaster even bolted up. We built a stroked Cleveland and at the time all we could get was the Speedmaster heads and intake.

I'd say the Super Victor and the Trick Flow are pretty much a tie with only 3 lbs difference in torque and 4 horsepower (approx).

There was the Cleveland and Modified (the 400M was the Midland, then it was destroked hence the Modified moniker) in that displacement as well, but i'll suspect you were referring to the Windsor :) year of casting is important, Ford like most of Detroit cut down on nickel content in blocks from the late 1970's to the early 1980's. Some people will push the Windsor blocks a lot more (one right off the bat is the Neomustang channel here on youtube) and truck engines use better internals than the passenger cars, but that's a ballpark figure.

[@barrycuda3769]

@@albertgaspar627 Yes, I did mean 351 Windsor, I watched the Steve Vizard video that you provided a link to, it's interesting that the cracking issues seem to be due to vibration, and that you can install aftermarket vibration dampening devices (girdles). I wonder if Chev and mopar small blocks have had any cracking issues? I'ts also interesting that the 289 powered GT 40's could complete the 24 hours of Le Mans with no issues, I know they didn't exceed 450 HP , but running hard for that long is impressive, but I imagine they had specially cast blocks? On the subject of Cleveland's I think in my part of the world ( New Zealand) we (Australia and NZ)had far more of them than in America, the most famous example being the GTHO Falcon , which has become insanely valuable. Maybe the Cleveland 351 is a better choice for getting big horsepower out of, despite being heavier , that means stronger???

[@albertgaspar627]

@@barrycuda3769 Ford originally designed the 221 cid Windsor for economy cars (the Falcon) while saving the Y block for passenger cars and trucks with the FE/FT big blocks for heavy duty useage. However, Ford had wanted to make a corvette competitor in 1955 but the Y block was too heavy (so the Thunderbird got built on the family car chassis, the Fairlane). someone realized the 221 could be a sports car engine in 260 cid and handle midsized passenger cars, so the Y block went away and the 260 showed up in Sunbeam Alpines to make the Tiger. Chevy, on the other hand, made its small block right from the beginning to power trucks and passenger cars, so they made it a bit heavier duty in comparison. Still, the Ford 289 had the impact you mentioned. It was designed to carry midwest americans at 70 mph for hours to their destination (compared to some european sports cars that got one around town, etc), but it was ultimately a good design. the cylinder heads ran smaller ports and valve sizes to build more torque at lower RPMs compared to the chevy, and the exhaust ports were sadly given short shrift as Ford designed cars with shock towers that took up space. Mopar built its LA small block in 1967 off their A engines from the 1950's (LA stands for Light A) that spawned the first generation of Hemis. so their lifter bores have a bad cant for wedge engines, but otherwise you can guess the strength built in naturally. by the late 1970's, however, they were bankrupt so quality suffered. but the rest of the industry was getting hammered by imports, so they all put less nickel into their cast iron, and some engines were in fact lightened up in the main webs to generate more fuel economy. You are spot on about the Clevelands. We got them "late to the party" and so there was less development--we only have two head designs to choose from, and engine builders will try to get australian heads. in drag racing, some teams would actually cut the exposed exhaust port off an american cleveland head and weld on a square pipe to lose the "dogleg" bend. (on a side note, Ford did develop a version of the Cleveland with a taller deck height for use in pickup trucks and full sized cars like the Lincoln to theoretically get rid of big block engines. they were the 400Midland and later a destroked version, the 351Modified. it's a shame no one bothers to modify these engines, there's a fair bit of potential in each one even though the rear of the block only has a bolt pattern for heavy duty transmissions). considering the taxes, shipping and exchange rates, if i lived in your part of the globe I would go with a cleveland. unless you needed a roller cam setup and your windsors offer that right from the factory--that's what we have here, and it's worth buying a windsor engine from a junkyard and getting the entire roller cam setup for free. plus that model got EFI from the factory, which also saves eventual costs if one wants that and isn't getting too crazy with the engine build. plus our ford explorer SUVs came with the best OEM windsor heads on them stock--the GT40P heads once offered over-the-parts-counter. so you grab a set of those on the way out the door, and you have yourself a decent street engine to put together for a hot rod.

[@jeremypike9153]

@@NCSTANGGUY exactly the motor I was referring to. It made good power but typically that kind of flat Dyno result between torque and horsepower shows there is a bottleneck somewhere. The factory 289/302 heads are a 165 cc intake port. I don't think the 195 cc AFRs are flowing enough.

[@albertgaspar627]

probably 14:1 to 15:1. 18:1 is diesel territory. edit: somehow my later response got lost or deleted, so i'll just add it here: in the late 1970's Bruce Crower had a mileage cam idea, you used 14:1 or so compression pistons and one of his cams that closed the intake valve really late, like almost near TDC. it bled off compression into the intake manifold on purpose, but at higher rpms it had less effect and you got higher compression for fuel economy and power. but what you really got was a soggy power curve at cruising RPM and domed pistons that blocked much airflow into the engine at higher engine speeds. so it was a lose-lose situation.

[@cameronsmitherman6380]

@@albertgaspar627 yeah diesels have to have that high for igniting their fuel but in theory couldn’t you make a normal engine have such a high compression?

In theory, but you need fuel that is knock resistant enough. Even Avgas wouldn't be able to handle 18:1. Maybe if you were running on methanol and using other tricks to prevent knock it could work.

[@jeffhill3681]

RE. super high compression on gasoline. Need to understand static vs dynamic compression. Running compression is reduced by factors that inhibit volumetric efficiency. A example is a 2bbl limited engine class, can't fill cylinder at higher RPM. Cam timing is adjusted to lower compression at lower speed.

[@nerd1000ify]

@jeffhill3681 yeah you can look at the inlet valve closing event timing to get a sense of this. Later IVC moves the power band higher in the rev range and reduces the effective compression ratio at low revs, while raising it at high revs. A particularly extreme case is found on the Toyota Prius engine, which always closes its inlet valve way too late. Net effect is to reduce the geometric 14:1 or so compression ratio to something normal 91 RON fuel can handle. But the expansion ratio on the power stroke remains 14:1, so the engine extracts more of the energy from the hot gases than a regular Otto cycle. Of course this means the volumetric efficiency and thus power is rather low, but it's a hybrid so the electric motor compensates for that. The other side of the coin is diesels, where making the IVC happen too late makes the engine impossible to start because the dynamic compression is too low at cranking speed.

[@purpurahaze9179]

I can't get mad either way none of these intakes fit under the hood of my 79 LTD Landau with it's 351 Windsor 😢

[@ldnwholesale8552]

Funnelwebs have never been great. I know several who tried them and were disapointed. For a Clevo they may be ok as apart from a CHI intake there is little else around.The CHI will be better though!. The Trickflow surprised though, better mid range.

[@seanjohnson6899]

And either port match the intake or put a victor Jr on it

[@Snake.br549]

that cam you need at least 11.1 to get the proper thermodynamic efficiency !

[@davidmuck7602]

Ford - mercury made a 410 cubic inch engine. Have you ever dealt with it or have any history on it? I’m very curious about that.

[@TimothySchulting]

My understanding is a square engine should be about even in HP and torque. Did I miss something?

[@buzzbomb67]

I wonder what the Funnel Web would make, if they cleaned up all the casting flash, etc…

[@gordocarbo]

Not anything worth getting dirty over. Been there done that Get the right piece the first time...support american jobs, too

[@buzzbomb67]

@@gordocarbo agreed! I was just curious how much better itd be

[@gordocarbo]

@@buzzbomb67 Not much from cleaning it up .Done a bunch of different intakes, flowed them etc and found that the advice of Joe Sherman was correct. Intakes dont make that big of a difference unless you made a real bad choice.

[@buzzbomb67]

@@gordocarbo well, amongst similar designs, anyway. Obviously an intake can make a huge difference, between, say, a stock 1975 302 2bbl manifold, and an Edelbrock Performer RPM, or Victor Jr.

Thanks

You could double the hp with rotary valves instead of conventional valves

[@CraigBrosRacing]

Speed master with two hrs of Dremel tooling BEATS THEM ALL!!.ITS MADE FOR THAT..OUT OF BOX IS BAD..

[@seanjohnson6899]

Spend the $125 bucks and machine the AFR heads from the out of the box 58cc to 57-56cc and Wilson taperd spacer call it 500hp and done.

Why did you send it out to get rebuilt since you have the knowledge?

[@albertgaspar627]

either time limit or....most of the parts you see in these videos and on PowerNation TV come free from the manufacturer in return for free ad time.

[@20JK10]

Surprised they didn't use a dual-plane intake. On a different episode comparing single-plane with a dual-plane, the dual-plane performed better on a street engine.

[@evilinside5984]

You said it on a "Street" engine the dual plane is great. On this engine going to 7,600Rpm, the dual plane would get smashed in high end hp, as this setup is geared for racing. Sure the dual plane would have the most tq. down low, but anyone that knows anything about racing, would use a 5,500 to 6,000Rpm high speed TQ. converter on this setup, shift @ 7,500 to 8,000Rpm, and never look back!

When did engine masters come back to KZbin?

[@royhenson3379]

I would go with D. Trick Flow Spec.

[@joe-hp4nk]

Turn the pistons around.

[@hotwheelsfunporch1342]

Port all the nasty casting flash off that Parker and I bet it does as good as all the others

[@alexcorona]

RPM, the replacement for displacement.

[@chloehennessey6813]

At 300 cheaper I don’t mind an hour or so of carbide and cartridge work on the intake. But, I’d rather have the Trick Flow- made in the USA. If I have to pay extra to send a fellow Americans kids to college or pay their rent? I’m okay with it.

[@rustywater3219]

Those port corners are dead air space anyway. Look up wetted diameter.

How can we get low rpm torque and hp

[@Catheysoutdoors2949]

Can you run 6 inch rods in a 350 block with stock 350 Crank

[@stevewalters6853]

Of course you just need pistons with the piston pin height designed for 6” rods.

@@stevewalters6853 so do you think 6 inch rods in a 350 bored,over .40 is a good idea

[@stevewalters6853]

@@Catheysoutdoors2949 According to dyno operators no different power from 5.7 to 6” but might make for a lighter rotating assembly with the lighter piston used with 6”. For a street car I’d just stick with the 5.7.

[@jeffrykopis5468]

Yep. Just has a shorter compression height (the pin is closer to the piston top).

Can u do the Cla45 Benz engine

[@robertaBooey69]

Why not run rpm you actually use on the street below 3k?

[@TheAsdffaaa]

if, and when, (as always in america) you got an auto trans there. With a 7500 winding smallblock, you kindof need a 3000 stall turbine. If you mash the throttle, the turbine lets the engine always go to 3000rpm, and start pulling power from there. Manual guys, like I, are a different story
