GT40x Ford Racing cylinder head, Finalized flows, Edelbrock Performer Rpm Airgap vs. Blueprint copy.

[@No1414body]

Great setup for a mild street engine in a light car it will fly

[@servediocylinderheads]

I agree. Thanks!

[@luckyPiston]

It was interesting to see how a casting irregularity that close to the carb could make a difference even with a carb that has smaller butterflies , you'd think the air would just flow past there but clearly there is something going on , good to know !

[@servediocylinderheads]

@@luckyPiston Always fun. Thanks

[@jackbooten2681]

Good stuff, that was fun.

[@servediocylinderheads]

Glad you liked it.

I have the Blue Print intake and it indeed is a very good quality piece. $199 on Blue Prints website. Shipping is reasonable and prompt. 100% satisfied 👍🏼

[@barrykennedy9947]

Everyone especially the Chinese have copied Edelbrocks design. I have a Blueprint sbf dual plane. I figured if they had it on a 415hp 347 it would work okay on warmed up 289 with AFR heads. It cost $199 with Edelbrock gaskets and new bolts. I port matched and bolted it on. Haven't ran it yet. Casting pleasantly surprised me, it was very good quality.

[@juhanahuovinen]

Good video, thanks 👍 I also had a head that liked the flowball on the floor. Grinding some dimples in the floor didnt help much, but i thought id drill a hole in the manifold and install a bolt through. Grude, but hey it might work fine and no one will see it under the manifold! 😂 -juhana

Nice results Charlie,gonna b great on the street

[@tedgay8427]

BluePrint claims to design their own heads, blocks and intakes and that they cast and machine everything in their Nebraska facility. it is amazingly similar to the Edelbrock, though.

[@servediocylinderheads]

@@tedgay8427 Interesting. Thanks

[@echadmiyodea]

IMO, if that intake is going on a 302 cube engine with automatic trans, then definitely not worth cost to port the intake, and personally I would make sure the plenums are fully divided for full 180* function. If going on something around 350 cubes or larger and manual trans, then yes on the porting, and at least some modifications around the plenum area. With something in the 370 to 400 cube range I would go for full porting of the intake and custom spacer matched to a modified plenum.

[@luckyPiston]

Okay so i built u a 347 in DYNO Sim 6 with your ported heads and a 238*/244* @ 0.050" x 0.544" lift cam , 10.5:1 comp AND i ran it in DRAG sim 5 in a 1987 Mustang Fox body with 5 spd gearbox & 3.54 gears ... etc etc ...... Motor makes 465 Hp @ 6000 rpm / 454 ft.lbs @ 5000 rpm .. and .. the car runs 11.683 @ 123.3 mph ... with conservative driving style (assuming a BW T-5 tranny) , not to shabby !

[@servediocylinderheads]

@@luckyPiston That looks pretty close. T5 won't hold up. Sticky tires needed. 123 mph looks right but should be less time unless launching is an issue.

[@andrewburlock2653]

@@servediocylinderheads Hi Charlie. Everyone says a T5 wont hold up but I have an 89 notch supercharged 331. On slicks easy launch, granny shifting I run 10.93 @ 131 mph with the stock T5 the car was built with. I know I'm on borrowed time though. The new engine is going to be a large bore 8.2 deck 347 with a larger supercharger and a solid roller. I don't think the T5 will like that. Andrew

[@servediocylinderheads]

@@andrewburlock2653 I know because we broke the ears off a t5 with a 306 and e7's early 90's

[@williamrose8944]

Good job your going to save me a $200 on an intake for same flow , building 347 for street use.

[@servediocylinderheads]

@williamrose8944 Glad to be of help.

[@donthompson2188]

Excellent Charlie. I’m still running an F4B Edlebrock. I wonder if I would gain much with the performer manifold?

[@servediocylinderheads]

@donthompson2188 It would be a good dyno test. I bet they would be close.

[@hotrodray6802]

Charlie, weve been absorbing your expertise for yyears. you should have a method that we can send a few bucks every month. You are well worth your hire. 👍👍😎 YeeeHaaaaw!! FOUND IT IN YOUR INFO SPOT👍👍😎

[@servediocylinderheads]

​@@hotrodray6802 My daughter set up cashapp but it must not work. The account has $3 in it one from Wiffy and two from Carla!

[@andrewburlock2653]

Hi Charlie. It would be interesting to average your flow numbers and average dv's and see who was better. Andrew

[@hotrodray6802]

🔔😎 Charlie, I like all your stuff. I quit porting heads in 99. But I am doing 289 C6OE-m 194/160 chevy valves for myself. Question: I cant relocate the information. On the SBF 289/302 what is the valve relief radius into the quench ? Im remembering from intake valve center 1.46" and 1.33 exhaust. Please advise.🤔 Thank you so much for all you do for the industry. 👍👍😎 YeeeeHaaaaw!!!!

[@servediocylinderheads]

@@hotrodray6802 Not sure what you are asking. Sorry

[@hotrodray6802]

​​@@servediocylinderheads Where the chamber quench area is laid back for better flow, like a heart shaped chamber .

[@servediocylinderheads]

@hotrodray6802 I don't do it by measurement. I do it by feel. Sorry

[@hotrodray6802]

Sure wish I had gotten to buy your DV heads.. I tried. 😭

[@servediocylinderheads]

@hotrodray6802 They weren' t supposed to be sold... oh well.

[@brokentoolgarage]

Good job! I get the firing order on my 5.0 mixed up sometimes. Could not figure out why my timing light was so far off😁 I think Ford does things different sometimes just because they are Ford.

[@servediocylinderheads]

@@brokentoolgarage They also have a different bank layout from Chevy

[@brokentoolgarage]

@@servediocylinderheads Yes, they do. SB Mopar and Chevy are the same

That's good right?

[@rolandotillit2867]

@@servediocylinderheads Yeah, if something slaps, it means it's a key to having a good time.

@@rolandotillit2867 Nice!

[@davidfawcett7861]

Hi, would this carb/ intake combination flow more on better flowing heads or would it always be a bottleneck limiting flow to around 200 cfm? Thanks, Dave

[@servediocylinderheads]

@@davidfawcett7861 It would flow a bit better but not much. Thanks

[@MrJak427]

Was it tested with that carb on the intake?

[@servediocylinderheads]

@@MrJak427 Yes

[@chrismoher5444]

I just order a blue print intake off sumit. At the end of the day its a American company that employees Americans and builds American made engines. I cant justify the edelbrock almost $700 candain.
