Lykins Motorsports MY TOP 5 FAVORITE ENGINE COMBINATIONS

A quick review of some of my favorite engine combinations that really seem to shine more than others...

[@stuartwall8212]

A very satisfying collection of eye and ear candy Brent. You build some nice stuff. Thanks for sharing.

[@davidwoolard7571]

Those FE dyno pulls gave me goosebumps, but the sounds that big Ford made nearly made me feint lol. Excellent video Brent

[@markmccarty9793]

They had really good rod/stroke ratios! Also, with the head design you could really pull weight off buy installing an aluminum intake! The old 390 with a that huge cast iron intake only weighted 620lbs. You could easily ditch 35lbs going to an aluminum intake! I grew up on those things! If they had survived until fuel injection and modified for one peice oil seals!

[@adambergendorff2702]

Too funny seeing that intake adaptor for the Cleveland intake, I just watched a video by Kelly Coffield where he foam cast an inline Autolight carb manifold and air cleaner mount in Cleveland dimensions to fit on an FE, Absolutely Beautiful work it looked just like an original casting!

[@edsmachine93]

Very impressive run of engine Brent. Thanks for sharing. 👍 Have a good weekend.

[@billymadison8036]

I support this idea

[@alexbrown4820]

I've never heard of anyone hopping up a 352 that far. That's badass

[@JoshuaFare]

As someone who knows where I can get a 66 Ford pickup with a 352 for $1000 I actually love the fact someone hotrodded a 352 rather than go the usual 347 stroker route

[@robertwingate650]

It would be awesome if you were to put some of your knowledge into print so those of us could purchase. Like what combinations work best for lighter cars vs heavier trucks, general torque/HP expectations, etc.. I'm sure it would be a " best seller" in the blue oval engine world!

[@jcnpresser]

I really like the little 311 that could. I’d be happy with that in my car!

[@RoyMiller-d8y]

Verity is the spice of life.🎉 I thought according to major car magazines that only Chevrolets could do this stuff. Let all the lies die!

[@Hotrodclassic]

Not lies , with today’s technology its take your pick… depending on your wallet and time…! 🏁🇺🇸

[@lars277]

I loved the junkie 352 build you did. I am a huge fan of the 352. Goes back all the way to my youth listening to a 1959 Thunderbird with a 352. Then, also, a 1959 Ford with a hi-pro 352. Sure, I like the other FE engines, but the 352 interceptor or the 1960 360 hp version are my favs.

[@marianoleonel8914]

it would be cool see you building a six inline, as a dyno mule, something crazy, high rev, naturally aspirated, itbs, dry sump, custom roller cam and valve train.. Of course I know it would be impossible for the money, but it would be very fun. Regards

[@justinschmidt9180]

That clevor is amazing !!

[@johndouglas6665]

Being a Ford guy, I really enjoy your videos. I grew up with Windsor, Cleveland, FE, and 385 engines. My question is not about these engines, but about your Coyote. When are more videos coming on the Coyote build? I am anxious to see what kind of HP you come up with. THANKS !

[@lykinsmotorsports]

I'm waiting on some cam sprockets that have been backordered for a few months.

[@gersonhay984]

# 4 Hot. # 5 Smoking. These are not for Street. Great work. Loved seeing # 4 on the Strip. And all that Music. Ever did a Ford Straight 6 ?

[@gurneyforpresident2836]

Very impressive! I am glad I found your channel, as I bleed Ford blue. Awesome!

[@cobra7250]

I like to watch your videos as you build an engine and explain what you’re doing, and why. I am wondering why you give so little time for the lifters, which are arguably the part that’s going to fail the soonest.

[@goldysgarage189]

Really surprised the customer looking at the 5.0 (311) motor would not step up to a world products, or similar block, instead of using filler. Also, that clever would be nice at 11:1 in street trim

[@strokermaverick]

The big block, was amazing!

[@Todd-w5p]

Just learning about fe's , very informative

[@mikekurtz8728]

I would love to hear your choice combo for a 390 for a 4x4 truck both street driven and also occasionally competing in mud bogs. I’m on military deployment currently but plan on building my engine this coming spring when I am home. Thanks. Love the videos!

[@riccocool]

That 390 turning 7k rpm made me smile. What could a solid roller turn?

[@danmyers9372]

For those of us familiar with the 390 back in the day it is not a stretch to say that a 390 turning 7000 RPM is pretty much an oxymoron.

[@dennisschell5543]

Very impressive numbers!!! 😎

[@elmerfudpucker3204]

Merry Christmas to you and yours, Brent.

[@The340king]

I liked the vice grip exhaust bolt on the352! I had a 390 FE that punched above its weight. It would push the 76 F150 to well past 130 mph. The second owner after I sold it ran it up to where the 100 mph speedometer wrapped up against the zero stop peg. I don’t know how he steered it, as the front was really light at 130. It would start pinging when you leaned into it at 100 mph. Way too much fun. The only failure was the rocker shafts cracked on the outboard ends.

[@markmccarty9793]

I grew up driving those old twin I beam trucks! If your actually driving them 130mph I'd love to take out a life insurance policy on you!😂😂😂

[@paullane7489]

Great content!!! Thank you! 👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸

[@hope2someday691]

Good stuff,. I’ll take one of each 😉

[@K-Effect]

I’d love to have that first engine in my 67 cougar.

[@garymoody6399]

Yep I love ford fe engines trying to build a 390 right now

[@lautburns4829]

I liked the 311 combination for my 65 fast back.

[@timr31908]

F e engines are very premium engines

[@chestrockwell8328]

That 311 you built was a little monster. Do you know how it's getting along?

[@kennyfisher8014]

Yep, advancing the cam a certain amount ( can ) make a BIG difference.

[@MrKT1955]

Good stuff! Thanks Brent

[@wysetech2000]

I enjoyed that, Brent. A little different.

[@idontcare3013]

Nice video, Brother. Merry Christmas.

[@chrisgramza8582]

I would love your recipe input for a 408 Cleveland, with stock quench 4V heads. Cam specs, intake recommendation, stud or pedestal rockers, etc... Street mostly, occasional strip. torque monster in a 70 Ranchero. Thank you in advance.

[@goldysgarage189]

Damn son, I was thinking the same thing - and for lighter cars as well. No need to rev a 408 to 8000 either - and prefer not to use filler in the block

[@regsmith7604]

Thanks I enjoyed those sounds 😊

[@chadkent1241]

Anything Cleveland makes me happy

[@woodwelder]

Great to see that Ford can do it , not your cheap SB Chevy off the shelf boy racer …

[@Naoj2024]

LOL… i scanned this comments just to find people like you putting down Chevrolets …Why just Chevrolet, how bout dodge, AMC, or anything GM..? The time is here because of technology you can make anything you want my friend …! Kinda funny when i look at a BOWTIE BUILD posts their always seems to be ford guys on there too slamming the LS platform…🤷🏻‍♂️! No matter what manufacturer you chose ,if you put your life energy into it and believe in your stuff you will have success !! I’m from the sprint car world and i rarely see Ford powered Woo , so if your ford is so much better come race in our world Mr. Woodwelder…😎

[@matthewmoilanen787]

​@@Naoj2024What makes me laugh is that u actually think those are Chev engines in a WOO sprinter. How many championships did Lasoski win with his Mopar again. Apparently ur not paying attention to WOO late models either as the Fords are completely dominant. Pro stock was dominated by Bob Glidden 50 years ago when these engines came out. Bill Elliot dominated NASCAR up to the 90s with this same engine. Nice try Chev tool but I think we all know that Chevs are an inferior design and when another manufacturer puts half their resources to their engine programs they are better.

[@petergiannaros9037]

Very true Mathew!@@matthewmoilanen787

[@paulmokidespaul5347]

Thanks!!! You're a gem...

[@domcrotty5784]

Cool video!

[@joe-hp4nk]

How do you cool a engine if you fill the block?

[@donaldseccombe3893]

How much for the 311 ?

[@LoneWrencher]

nice engines but bad that the fe stuff was the lowest hp combos

[@jimzivny1554]

Good video, nice combos

[@shoominati23]

WHat power did the individual engines make if you don't mind me asking? Just curious to know, cam specs would be nice too.. I 'd love to take an underdog engine and tap into it's undiscovered capabilities and stick it to people who thing the engine is a dog in the process..

[@lykinsmotorsports]

I don’t give cam specs out. I also mentioned the individual hp, you just have to watch the video.

[@tonycanino3739]

Hi Tony from Australia I’m a ford man just wondering if u have a video on how to keep a Cleveland alive at high rpm do u use ristrictors lifter sleeves fully grooved main bearing etc just would like ur apion on the subject kind regards Tony

[@joegaskill8742]

That little 302 made 5hundo pretty easy without a ton of money! And that is why the LS works so well,,stolen ,,old, technology chevy boys!!

[@larrymitchell8464]

I want to know how you put an 351 intake on a big block 352

[@ImNotHereToArgueFacts]

How much HP does #5 lose by making 1 revolution?😮

[@crautoguy8384]

I'm in no way on your level building engines I'm honestly in assembler I have a machine worked on by a professional I expect out what I want Have the machine work done. That little 311 Ford I've had similar experiences with short We do 5 inch stroke Chevy's seem to be much more forgiving on compression and cam advance. Short scroll long rod bigboard motor seems to have some kind of magic. Way back in the day I built a dark 400 block with an Eagle 325 large from a crank in it With 6 inch rods I've been the one compression And unfortunately Reed cam's is gone but I had them custom guide me a cam I cannot remember the specs. But that little thing went 6:04 6:04 8 grand and made big block talk 575 horse 475 foot-pounds. What's the mold dirt track Canfield heads 2. 08 1. 85 valves Jessie shaft rockers

[@billymadison8036]

11:30 minutes it .....yesssss

[@paulmokidespaul5347]

Pretty nice 👍

[@cavscout62]

Man that 390 sings!

[@ToddWright2]

That's what an engine video should be. Lots of data, little hype. I build racebike engines of much higher specific output, but enjoy what people are doing with these old pushrod engines.

[@paulmokidespaul5347]

Makes good power!

[@adambergendorff2702]

Also forgot to comment, Loved the video!

[@greenceramist]

why are your head gaskets bores so much bigger than the actual cylinder bores?

[@lykinsmotorsports]

Because it’s a 4.040” bore.

[@taylormayberry4826]

What cylinder head were you running on the 556?

[@1murder99]

Good noises.

[@davidfawcett7861]

Hi Brent, what was the CR on the 311ci? Thanks, Dave

[@lykinsmotorsports]
