Ford 351 Windsor Grows Into A 427 Stroker With Double The Original Power - Engine Power S4, E7

[@fortyshooter1]

Built my 427 but based it on the Dart block. Used same heads but the Eddy Super Victor. Compression 10.3 and a Lunati hyd. roller with 241/249 and .600 lift. 6 years ago put on the Price Motorsport dual Holley inline intake with a pair of custom Holleys flowing 660 cfm. Still going strong after 11 years now and it is in my 1985 Mustang LX coupe! 480 HP at the wheels with 505 Torque all in by 5700 RPM.

With the 950cfm carb, they saw best performance at 30 degrees of timing, then a bit of a fall-off when they advanced to 32 degrees. Why did you not simply revert back to 30 degrees of timing, then put the big 1150cfm dominator carb on to see if that made a difference? Are you going to leave this engine at 32 degrees of timing, knowing that it does better at 30?

Yes, I wondered the same thing about the timing. Also, why not dykem and exhibit the pattern the roller rockers are leaving on end of valve tip , aka the 'walk'.

They also didn't say that they DIDN'T set the timing back to 30° I'd be pretty sure they actually did, that carb shouldn't have added horsepower, to me, it sounded like they were trying it to dispell the myth that an oversized carb would flood the engine.

We want to hear what kind of chop the builds make and how they would fare in the real world. Vacuum too. What stall you'd need on an auto, and that they'd reliably idle with a stick where it's a PIA to keep blipping the throttle while holding the brake and clutch. I'm thinking more about carved applications here.

[@ohger1]

That is a tight fit with the high deck height of the 351.

[@randomologist77]

Not much. Back in the 90s, the 427 stroker was a lousy engine. The earlier versions were just a marketing gimmick capitalizing on the 427 name, but they had poor rod angles due to being so overstroked. They suffered from piston slap, rod failures and short lifespans. Current versions of the "427 stroker/W/R" don't have a single Ford part on them. They're just parts bin race engines. Nothing wrong with that, but can't be called a "Ford 427" with a straight face, IMHO.

[@wizerulz]

If you notice on the graph the long stroke motor is already making over 500hp at only 4000 rpm so and like 562 at 5252 ( where HP cross over and read the same) . My point is to only gain another 50 Hp by revving it to sky high another 1800 to 7000 rpm doesn’t really make a lot of sense pretty indicative of the combo being a bit overkill. When the torque is that flat you can pretty much shift at 5500-6000 and it will run about the same ET and be way easier on parts. I built a much milder 427 that I only rev to 5600-5800 But it makes about 520 Hp but it has enough torque at 2100 rpm to cruise with a 5 speed manual Tremec in overdrive at 70 mph. In a 2350 pound cobra replica I wanted a motor that felt very close to a factory 427FE with torque everywhere. I’m very happy with it! The segment talked about for shoulder to cam clearance but never showed any of it…I’ll bet they had issues!! I had to relieve the shoulders of all my rods to clear the cam lobes and even rr ground the cam to a smaller base circle. Btw stroker 427’s like tighter lobe separation and more cam advance. Why close the intake so late and give up all the stroke just to gain RPM?

It was mentioned that the 427-powered Cobras won the GT Championship. Actually it was the 289-powered Cobras, primarily Daytona's, that won the FIA World GT Championship. The 427FE won in NASCAR, NHRA, SCCA A-Production (Cobra Roadsters), and FIA Prototype racing (Ford GT Mk II and Mk IV), winning LeMans and many other races.

[@randomologist77]

Yep. The 427 Cobra race effort was essentially abandoned by Shelby because the shop couldn't keep up with the Mustang, GT-40 and other projects. Shelby was stretched too thin, and the 427 Cobras were demanding when it came to chassis tuning and setup.

[@michaeldelaney7271]

​@@randomologist77 A friend who worked for Shelby on the race team said that Ford ordered the Daytona's retired to concentrate on the GT-40's. He also said that Ford insisted on the switch to the 427FE in the GT's so they could sell more Galaxies and Country Squires with big blocks. Apparently Shelby, and many of his guys, felt the small block had plenty of potential left and there was no need to switch to the big/heavy engines. In fact, the GT-40 initially used the OHV Ford Indy 256 cu in/375 hp OHV engine. Ford created DOHC heads for the Indy V-8 and got about 425 hp out of it. Parnelli Jones had a 5.0 liter version of the DOHC Indy engine (in a Lola T-70) with maybe 500 hp. And, later on, John Wyer's Gulf team used the small block (302) with Gurney-Weslake heads to win LeMans twice ('68 & '69). It looks like Shelby was right that the small blocks still had more potential. Since then, we've seen the small blocks punched out to as much as 427 cubic inches.

[@michaeldelaney7271]

@@randomologist77 Couldn't find your other reply about the 427 FE, so here's my answer. I should have said Ford wanted to sell FE engines in station wagons, coupes and sedans. Specifically 390's and 428's, not the race oriented, and expensive, 427's. Salesman were supposed to tell Joe Public, "why that 390 in the Country Squire is (virtually) the same engine that just won at Daytona (or LeMans)." Same with the 426 cubic inch so-called "428." It was given that name so people wouldn't try to race it (most race classes were limited to a max of 427 cubes). Then eventually, Ford started offering racing versions of the supposedly non-racing 428 (CJ and SCJ). Anyway, "Race on Sunday, sell on Monday" always depended on selling cars with the same brand or model name, not with the actual same equipment.

[@randomologist77]

@@michaeldelaney7271 I deleted the response because there's just a lot of ground covered. The 428 (4.132 x 3.980) is technically 427ci (426.96ish), the 427 FE (4.233 x 3.784) is technically 426ci, but Ford allowed some finish hone wiggle room in there to get the 427 to "427." Ford made a concerted effort to market the 428 with special drag pack edition Mustangs with the CJ so the idea they didn't want it to be raced seems suspect. The 428 was just inferior to the 427 in race applications as it was a purpose built street engine, not a purpose built race engine like the 427 that was unsuitable for typical production car use. The only reason the 428 even came into being was the 390 being outmatched by upcoming and recently released competitor street engines from GM and Mopar like the the 440 and the L36 427s. While Ford no doubt wanted to use the 427 FE's potential victories for propaganda's sake, they were looking to win first and the 289 wasn't a winner and probably wasn't going to be a winner at Le Mans. Ford would have been happy to tell Joe Public their 289 engine was the one that won at Le Mans if it came down to it. Also, the small blocks had a long future ahead while FE engines were already in their swan song stage with the 385 series in development. The 289 was overmatched and unreliable at the power levels the GT40 needed to achieve to win at Le Mans. The 255ci Indy V8 was an incredibly exotic and wild engine. Custom aluminum block, DOHC, 4 valves per cylinder, fuel injection, gear drive timing, 12.5:1 CR and unusable below 6,000rpm with an 8,300rpm redline. The 255 still made 60hp less than the intentionally rpm restricted 427 in the GT40s and the 255 was only designed to run 3hrs, not 24hrs. Even if they wanted to use it, Ford didn't have time to devote to a build program for the Indy engine for Le Mans and it was not an engine they could market as it had nothing in common with the production engines. Also, from my understanding, the drivers made the call to go with the 427 after it proved Ford's point of view by blowing track records out of the water. It was just a no brainer. The 427 was more powerful, more reliable and more forgiving with an ability to pull well down under 2,000rpm. Shelby wanted lighter weights and after the successes of the 427 were proven again, Shelby begged (and was denied) the 427 for the Mustangs, instead getting the 428 as 427 production couldn't be ramped up even if Ford wanted to do it.

[@michaeldelaney7271]

@@randomologist77 I'm sorry about getting mixed up on the FE's various displacements. "427's" are actually 426 cu. in. and "428's" are actually 427 cu. in. I had always heard that Ford absolutely did not want to call one of their engines a "426" as that was a famous MoPar Max Wedge and Hemi designation.

That's all nice, but in my experience with a 2 bolt main block and less stroke at just 4" (408), I had some pretty signicficant amount of cap walk and fretting of the mating surfaces. That was with the external 28oz imbalance crank that was balanced to the rotating assy. too. This was 6K rev limited and used for a road race application so lots of extended RPM times. This is a lot of weight and a BIG arm swinging around to try to control with cast iron 2 bolt mains. It might be OK for limited street use and the occational rip down the dragstrip, but not the best idea for a race application or high RPM with extended times. OK for budget street stuff, though.

Freeze plugs won't stop a block from cracking if it freezes. There are too many places where the ice would be trapped, those few holes won't relieve the pressure. Those holes are not designed to stop cracking. They are remnants of the casting process. Those are the holes that allow the sand in the core molds to be drained out after casting. Threaded plugs are actually a very good idea. I've had standard "freeze plugs" pop out before. You pretty much instantly lose all your coolant. That's bad. I've never had a block freeze.

So I can have everything planned out before I start spending money. Thanks for any input in advance. So for I've commented on at least 100 car vids with no luck. If no one says anything I'm turning it into a 4x4 with a jeep chassis. Lol.

[@thatfordguy2268]

Always Always Always make sure that the crankshaft bearings, connecting rod bearings, cylinder walls, piston skirts ect... get a layer of clean oil on them before assembly. I have seen engines seize upon start up from failure to take these simple steps.

[@time8533]

I've got close to the same combination. I would like to see you guys use the Howard's 224455-09 instead of the 224455-12 to see if it makes more horsepower and torque

[@novator8551]

Nice job guys. Great power output. But what about the fuel mileage? Theoretically!

[@brontantwoord7266]

Lmfao!

[@cgarris8674]

I have two 408 Windsor's currently; the mild build gets 2 light-poles per gallon. The hot build gets 2 fence posts per gallon. But in all seriousness, I get 10 to 14 with the mild build. I've never checked the other as I don't really want to know!

There's always that one dingleberry who has to ask fuel mileage on some crazy horsepower engine. No one is building these for fuel economy dingbat.

[@mattshansen9814]

If you add up the cost of this build, you are close to the cost of 427FE build. Love the channel keep up the good work 👍👍

Yes and I would rather have the FE 427's stronger block and components.

Be nice to build one of these engines to produce its top torque at a lower street cruising speed RPM for better MPG or would be just as well off building one like this?

How does this engine sound so good? Explanation please!

The SCCA spec Cobras were powered by the 289. In fact the Ford GT's competing in the WEC before '66 were also powered by the 289.

Would love to do something to up the pwr in my 1991 351w F-250? This vid looks pretty much like expensive ultimate racing build & have enjoyed watching. My tired OEM motor even new only 210hp. Hard to pull itself up a steep hill E4OD auto tranny.

[@mchristr]

You can use your block or go to the salvage yard for a roller-cam block. Use the stroker kit but go with dished pistons, a milder cam, and home ported factory heads. It may only make 350 hp at peak but the torque number will be huge. Exactly what you need to move a heavy pickup truck.

[@islandnites]

[@stevemadak6255]

So with a piston +.007 out of the hole and a .040 compressed head gasket you guys are going with a quench of .033. Nice! Smallest ive had the balls to go is .032 and that was with a cast iron crank. See I'd really like your guys opinion and expert experience on just how low you can go with different rotating assemblies.
