Classic Cool: Old-School Vibe in Big Inch Ford Windsor

[@robertwest3093]

How can this video only have 12,000 views in 2 weeks?? It’s an all aluminum Ford 427 stroker! Most Ford guys would be all over this engine!! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@teddyjones8027]

Soo friggin Bad Azz, nothing cooler than a stretched small block with old school looking stacks and can punch 600 HP above 6000 RPM !!!! Damn that GT40 is going to be 1 SICK MONSTER Thank you for sharing, everyone keep yourselves and love ones safe and healthy and remember to SMILE 😊God Bless 🙏

[@hendo337]

A factory 351w roller block 357ci with TFS 11R 190cc heads can make 595hp, a 408 with 11R 205cc heads can make 625-650hp, with a 4.030" bore. A 4.125" bore 9.5" Windsor (much less an aluminum Shelby block)that isn't making over 650hp is kind if a waste. Only building 427ci is a waste too when 438, 441 or 454CIs with a 4.1", 4.125" or 4.25" crank could have been done just as cheaply and easily.

Jeff kills it with another build video...as always. Glad you were able to capture this one while you were at the shop!

[@JS-oy6nn]

I bet that block was a small fortune by itself. This was a seriously awesome engine.

[@p0intdk]

That tape seal trick is brilliant

[@infernoking7504]

My dad has a 351w in his 1992 e150 van with 225k miles.

[@magnus9165]

I love the Windsor small blocks. This is one great built.

[@TheHorsepowerMonster]

Hey thanks!

[@mrdaykurutakuchannel]

The 1st ford windsor i've seen with an ITB! so cool!

[@Adam-nv9zo]

Man, I love these build videos. That's a really cool engine. Great work, as always.

[@TheHorsepowerMonster]

Thanks a lot, and thanks for watching!

[@andrewstoffel1170]

A thing of beauty ❤

[@johnbrewer4619]

Guys! Stop what you're doing! There's a new monster build!

[@TheHorsepowerMonster]

Hey thanks!

[@giftedice]

Always my favorite!

[@Bigdog302V8]

Wow!!! what a beast there!!! Near 600 hp and still climbing until the run was stopped. Going to be one very beastly GT40!!!

[@AndyFromm]

I need a few of them 😮

[@tmoney3457]

Thank you for all your cool videos

[@TheHorsepowerMonster]

thanks! And thanks for watching!

[@KerryKraemer-ck6hz]

Reminds me of a Hot Rod magazine trip of my younger days

[@Sir.VicsMasher]

GT40 with 180 degree headers. 😍

[@mchristr]

The stacks are appropriate for the GT40 but I'd love to see this in a Fox Mustang with the Hi-Ram intake. Those torque numbers will pull the car hard off the corners.

[@Sleeperdude]

Very cool build

[@DOCTRJ]

Just a good ol new engine! Its a beaut 👍🤠🤘

[@bobqzzi]

Great video, great build (except the spirolox!). That's going to be a fun car. Thanks for sharing.

[@scottmaz4063]

Wow what a monster

[@TurbineResearch]

I look forward to every video you make ❤

[@zjgw72]

Love these videos, many thanks 😊

[@thesquirrelchroniclesakare7808]

That’s a super nice setup 💪🏻

[@leosun8469]

Awesome!!!👍🏻

[@TheHorsepowerMonster]

Hey thanks!

[@lorddoobsworth144]

beautiful engine 🤤

[@drcolster]

Nice Build...I reckon this with lighter valves and different springs as they said would of hit the 7000 marks.. and more HP...625 maybe... Great Job Prestige...

[@GrandPitoVic]

Great build!!!

[@arturozarate1752]

Aaaahhh....nice build. High dollar alright. I'm building an FE with a CS aluminum block so I'm very familiar with the cost incurred here. Although with all the well spent money and custom parts....an 0.080 5/16" pushrod is still used. Hmmmm, I know a lot look at the hydraulic lifter as a shock absorber and feel that deflection of the pushrod isn't a factor.....🤔

[@bluerex178]

I suggest you make a series explaining the a to z on this builds in general ie definitions like what is lash what does measurement x mean etc good content

[@frfrpr]

Awesome!

[@deanharris7149]

Awesome!!!

[@adamspivey]

Perfection 👌🏼

[@tomcrosby6332]

cool as heck.

[@rockets4kids]

That's going to have a lot of people scratching their head when they see it for the first time.

[@Drmcclung]

See a couple of silly comments here about the chosen 6400 redline. It's because engine builders often have absolutely no idea anything about the gearing of the vehicle their engine gets plonked into, so that's the "peak" performance compromise.. With an automatic hung on the back it could be an extra 200-400rpm (sometimes way more than that with shadetree built transmissions) past 6400 before the trans finishes an upshift. Gotta think about that stuff. It would be criminally stupid to send a high-dollar motor out the door with just an absolute peak "here's where your valve float will start" number, because that's exactly where he's gonna upshift, with absolutely 0 margin of safety for overspeed. Thinking that stuff all the way through is how races are won by vastly inferior cars

[@logic.and.reasoning]

That's some great cheap (ish) reliable HP !! ...as long as someone else pays the fuel bill... 😅 Love my Fords.

[@bigal878]

That engine wants to RPM way more than 6400 rpm with that cam spec, heads/induction setup and good components. Let it RPM….

[@Ecosse57]

super cool. what water pump did they use?

[@bcbloc02]

1.24 ft-lb/cid not too bad!

[@thomasj.kappjr.929]

10:49 hard lines would have looked cool right there you know metal brake line Style

[@bullast2046]

NO BALLZ!! I had to..

[@dilsher12]

Sick build but wrong cam for the self imposed redline

[@brendanboozer3802]

So since they didn't want to rev it out higher, wouldn't they theoretically benefit from a smaller cam that might produce peak power earlier and might provide better torque? (Genuine question, hopefully someone can tell my yes or no and why)

[@rockets4kids]

The owner may have requested a lumpy race-cam idle...

[@driverjamescopeland]

What made them think this was "red line"? Obviously the valve springs were still holding without resonance.

[@johnbrewer4619]

I wish it had more rpm. It's a gt40 with stacks, I want it to crackle and scream

[@Karadon1969]

Did they explain why they decided to tune with speed density and not alpha-n? From what I have seen, its easier to tune an ITB car on alpha-n instead of trying to smooth out the map reading with a hole in each runner.

[@disfordiesel8219]

If 6400 is the redline.....Is the cam is too big?

[@samemerzidis3810]

How much is the cost of this engine build, I like to buy one

[@craigpennington1251]

Big question is : How much ($).

[@rockets4kids]

If you have to ask... (also, GT40 replica builds are coming in at $200k+ these days.)

[@CrankAddict]

Why would you build an engine that redlines below its power peak? Either put in better springs or back 5 degrees off that monster camshaft. I would prefer the latter as it will help the car get out of the corners.

[@Drmcclung]

Because engine builders often have absolutely no idea anything about the gearing the vehicle their engine gets plonked into so that's the "peak" performance compromise.. With an automatic hung on the back it could be an extra 200-400rpm past 6400 before the tranny finishes the upshift. Gotta think about that stuff

[@johnbougher4312]

What is the final cost for this build out the door?

[@TheHorsepowerMonster]

[@tshackelton]

I'm a little shocked by the cheapy fibre head gasket.... I mean they've been fine for 75yrs, but what's 50 bucks in a build like this? Why wouldn't you just do MLS? Is it a racing class thing?

[@hendo337]

Something doesn't add up, with 9.5" deck Windsor a 4.25" crank and a 6.200" rod you use a 1.165"-1.175" ch piston. How is this a 4" crank with a 6.250" rod and a 1.225" ch? That comes up a little short of zero unless the block is milled down. Seems like a waste to not go at leaat 438ci with a 4.125" bore and 4.1" stroke, 441ci with a 4.125" bore abd 4.125" stroke, if not 454ci with a 4.125" bore and 4.25" stroke. Just leaving free power and torque on the table for no cost savings and the same amount of work. A 4.1", 4.125" or 4.25" stroke engine can still easily and reliabibly rev and make power to at least 7000rpms these days with no problems. I would imagine that block should be capable of at least a 4.175"-4.185" bore making 466-468ci, not just 461ci.

[@rockets4kids]

You are correct. These blocks can be taken out to 460. But I'm betting the owner of this car is never planning to drive it in anger.

[@SuperBossman9]

Why on earth would you put a cheap ass crank in an expensive Shelby block. The machining on those cranks is horrendous.

[@stevenkirk2563]

Just get an Ls.

[@johnbrewer4619]

Guys! Stop what you're doing! There's a new monster build!
