HOW TO: 600-HP 5.0L (SBF) POWER RECIPES

[@lonestarperformancefilms2707]

I’d like to see a max effort 8.2 deck. Preferably n/a or nitrous application. Something like a 363.

[@littlebearish]

I had an 88 Lincoln TownCar with the low power 302 in it. I swapped in a 5.0 HO from an 88 mustang, used a stock Lincoln Mark 7 PCM to run it, rebuilt the trans and used the mustang valve body with a shift kit and the Mustang governor. Swapped in some 3.55 gears and had cat delete with flowmaster 40 series mufflers with dual exhaust. It was fun to drive but I wish I had had the budget to add boost like this. Would have been an ignorant Sunday driver.

[@michaelallen2501]

Man this has me all excited. Building a supercharged and forged 355 Gen 2 LT1 with less head than the Vortech 351W in this test, but more cam and more compression. Hoping to see similar power numbers at similar boost levels.

[@BucksSuperStereoWorld]

600 HP and 608 lb ft is excellent numbers for a small block. I'd LOVE to have one of those in my old 95 Ranger Super with a Tremec 6 speed manual.

[@stout7668]

Good stuff. I built Quiet a few booster lil 5.0. Boost in the lil 5.0 just hits different 🎉 I had one similar explorer block ported GT40P heads explorer intake 16 psi made 580 to the wheels. Other than the heads lifting a few times never had any block issues at that power level. Most important thing is to run lots of valve spring pressure. Detonation is the enemy

[@SimpsonsSpeedShop]

Love all the combo hp combos. Can’t wait to see to see the small block mopar edition!

[@aaronliddell4280]

Hey Richard, so I just rewatched this video and realized how different the power was naturally aspirated on the two 302 combos (the 1st and last in the video), especially the TQ curves. They had virtually the same cam TFS STG 2 vs 274 and similar intakes, TFS vs Holley. The biggest difference was obviously the two heads. The first one with a significantly better power curve ran a 170 cc intake port vs the 215cc heads. In other videos you’ve tended to show that there is no downside to a larger head or advantage to a smaller head, but it seems this testing showed that the smaller heads were in fact better or am I missing something?

[@richardholdener1727]

You are comparing two different motors tested on two different days and dynos

[@geomod6850]

Extremely helpful. Great video. Thank you!

[@danielwilson6665]

Richard, I haven’t reviewed your previous tests leading up to this well executed 600 horsepower segment yet, but I definitely will to see which combinations you chose for testing. I don’t expect you to remember every quirky detail from so many comments but I’m especially fond of Fords canted valve (Cleveland) head combinations in either OEM iron or aftermarket aluminum configurations. With their distinct advantage for making big power numbers over in-line valve heads, I hope to see them more often as the power goals increase.

[@albertgaspar627]

The only issue with the stock Cleveland heads (not counting oiling issues in the block) was the severe "turn down" of the exhaust ports, necessary on many Ford V8's to clear the shock towers of the 1960's car designs. Pro Stock guys actually cut the exposed exhaust port off the side of the Cleveland head and welded on box tubing to get a better design out of the head...and then kicked ass with it :)

[@danielwilson6665]

@@albertgaspar627...I’m very familiar with the Cleveland exhaust port modifications that you mentioned. It’s most commonly known as the high port conversion that’s done to the production cast iron heads as an effective means of eliminating the sharp downward turn of the exhaust port floor near the exit. The original exhaust port was one of the many compromises done by the design engineers to allow the wide Cleveland heads to fit between the shock towers of Mustangs and other passenger cars of the time. The high port conversion required the removal of a large section the length of the head on the exhaust side which was replaced with a piece of 1.500” thick aluminum bar stock with cutouts for each exhaust port. The result is a straight shot to the exhaust valve through the new port location which greatly improved flow, especially at the higher rpms required by a competitive Pro Stock engine. The components for the high port conversion are still available and many of the most powerful Clevelands in competition today are running high port iron Cleveland heads. With the exhaust improvements, many head builders also chose to improve the intake port velocity by filling about a half inch of the port floor with epoxy or aluminum inserts which resulted in a port shape and size that’s nearly identical to the modern aluminum Cleveland heads that are capable of supporting four digit power levels in naturally aspirated engine combinations. I have a a pair of iron high port conversions along with a matched Scorpion intake manifold that were professionally done back in the day by Endyn. I’m using them on a solid roller, four bolt main iron short block build. Unfortunately I don’t have any performance results yet. I’m still getting a transmission sorted out but judging from others running iron high ports here on KZbin, it should do quite well 🏁.

[@mchristr]

Just for reference, SCCA Trans-Am engines from the 1990's were producing 600+ N/A hp from 310 c.i. Yes, these were race engines.

[@johnterpack3940]

Gives me hope for the 427W I plan to build. A test I'd be really interested in is just how much power can you get from a "streetable" engine. I mean something that idles smoothly around 6-800 RPM and has enough vacuum to run power brakes. It's pretty easy to build a race engine, just throw dollars at it. But things get interesting once you put constraints on it.

[@thenomadrhodes]

Wait till he gets his hands on the New Godzilla engine. I CANT HARDLY WAIT!!

[@BucksSuperStereoWorld]

Oh wait, I thought the 302 block split in half at 600 HP? What happened?

[@dielauwen]

[@FrostRPMs]

I'm here trying to find this same answer...

[@duggancruz]

I cracked one like a egg😉

[@albertgaspar627]

They normally do. The fact you can't bore MOST low deck Windsors past .04 inches is a hint--Ford designed this block to be a 221 cid economy car engine (ie, light weight) and in the 1980's, Ford changed the crank which is why there's a different weight flywheel needed (and the Boss 302 had screw in core plugs to strengthed their block). and there's an issue with the cam/ignition timing--the 302 and the 351W are different, with the 302 HO sharing the 351W firing order. Since a cam from either engine fits, get it wrong and #1 cylinder is firing at the wrong time while the blower pulley belt is tightened for max boost on that different crank design and... but wait there's more! (as the ads used to say)...SOME low deck Windsors can actually be bored to .06 inches (making your 347 stroker a 355 cid). these are the blocks who tend to make the miracle "but i saw one go past 500 hp!" stories we hear.

[@jamesbolden3239]

I know that many of these tests were done in the past so you can't go back, but in the future, it would be helpful if you kept the boosted engines on pump gas so that the results would be realistic for street use.

Considering all the 5.0 blocks that I have seen split down the middle I was wondering how many 5.0 blocks you split in half.

Is that true or not true or a myth or were they pushing them way beyond 500 or what?

[@FrostRPMs]

I'm here trying to find the same answer...

[@aaronliddell4280]

It’s more dependent on how much RPM you’re trying to spin them to and the tune than any particular HP number. There are many guys, myself included, making way over 500hp out of stock blocks .

[@surreallife777]

I’m not sure I understand, was this purely junkyard engine? Or did change the original rod bolts and main block bolts with stronger new bolts? where are the rings the original rings reap or did you put fresh rings in the engine?

[@richardholdener1727]

on which one?

[@surreallife777]

@@richardholdener1727 : It was the first engine in the video from the Ford Explorer. From what I understand that engine was a junkyard engine, two block main with stock main bolts, cast iron crank, stock rods with stock rod bolts, and stock pistons with stock rings re gapped. It’s hard to estimate the longevity of an engine like this unless you’ve owned one yourself or you know other people who have driven it until it needed rebuilding or blew up.

As crazy as it sounds you guys should do "no replacement for displacement" vid. Having a specific budget of say like 2-3k and modify a Honda engine and compare it to a ford or Chevy small block. Dem Honda kids swear hondas are super fast but only if you dump like 20k into it even then not as much capability as say a ford 5.0 with the same amount of money dumped into.

John Woodworth : Remember. 1335 Squirells equal 1 hp net. Not sure how many revs thats at.

[@reevinriggin3570]

@@deanstevenson6527 5250 rpm's of course.

[@deanstevenson6527]

reevin riggin : Even 1335 squirell cages wont allow 5252 rpm. Even co-ordinated squirells baulk. I guess we could try one huge squirell cage and just add more squirells....a co-ordinated effort. Torque is cheep.

If the squirrels were too eat beans and cabbage would it give them more boost?

[@deanstevenson6527]

John Woodworth : Mung Beans give better Carb Action...but if it it puts one Squirell in traction then its going to be Boost Limited Mate. Scotty K has got something for you at 4:23 on this video. Dillinger Squirell Escape Defeater Hardware.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/hquTpHWtq5lkj8U
