Building A High-Performance Ford Windsor To Drop In A 900+ HP Turbo Stang - Horsepower S12, E18

You know, I've wondered what the PB corporate attitude toward the 2nd Amendment was occasionally. Seeing that intro to the circle track story, you guys just confirmed my suspicions...and gained yet another fan for life!

[@tomhamilton9140]

Great to se another SB Ford build. Got to the end and reminded me of asphalt racing and how the rule makers are once again screwing the SB Fords. Every time Ford comes up with a winning combination the rules change. Wonder why you don't see many Fords on a asphalt track. Sanctioning bodies favor GM is the reason.Sad to see rule makers control who wins races. 2020 Asphalt Late Model Rules. The GM 604 crate motors are allowed a 6500 RPM RPM Chip. The Ford 347 is allowed a 6300 RPM Chip. The GM is allowed to increase rocker arm ratio from stock 1.5 to a 1.6 increasing life close to .030. The Ford must remove there stock ratio from 1.6 to a 1.5 decreasing lift about .030. The GM can install a 1 inch carb spacer the Ford cant use a spacer. NOW YOU KNOW.

[@xmo552]

Facts?

It's always been that way. I've heard several times throughout years past in Nascar road racing any kind of racing, where the announcers with no shame at all come right out and say it. We have to slow them Fords down.

When describing the lift on the roller cam, Joe said, "with a lift of 158 on the intake and 133 on the exhaust" ..does anyone know what that means?

[@Petraeus_95]

Is this a stock 351 stroke or a 427 or 460?

[@falloutpc1]

I always thought the Cleveland was considered the better engine. But they seem to focus on Windsor builds. Is it because the Windsor has better aftermarket parts or was i wrong about the Cleveland?

[@fraserhenderson7839]

Cleveland 351 is a different engine family with the same displacement. It has larger valves and better cooling but isn't fundamentally a better engine, just a different one. Higher RPM and more HP from the factory.

[@NitroUnion]

Back in the day the Cleveland’s were killer because they had some of the best flowing factory heads out there, flowing too much in many cases for the small displacement, but as time went on the Windsor aftermarket began to grow and it’s much easier and cheaper these days to make big power with a Windsor than a Cleveland. And factory Windsor engines and parts are so abundant because Ford made them so long. Cleveland’s are hard to find now

[@brandonrobertson6327]

Just top a Cleveland heads on your Windsor, best of both worlds.

[@cemeteryhill]

Yup Aftermarket. Pretty much what Nitro Union said. Better heads but less availability. Always heard the Windsor had a slightly stronger block too but not sure. The Cleveland Cylinder heads are really some fantastic heads. KZbin Channel Drag Boss has a 69' Mercury Cougar that runs 9s with a 408 Cleveland NA. Highly recommend checking it out to learn about Clevelands & fast Cats. I think the Cleveland is a bit better stock but the Windsor is widely available & inexpensive comparatively.

[@elihedden6052]

Any idea of a cost estimate on the engine build?

My guess all in well over $10k. Turbos aren't cheap. And building the engine to hold it isn't either.

[@scottboone8603]

I don't know if you guys have done this before Oh, but you should do hey up comparison from a stock bottom end chevy 350 and a 351w. Just so we can get an idea what top-end horsepower we can get from both Ford and Chevy performance.

[@FloydODB]

FYI these guys never tell the whole story. that custom crank $2k-$3.7k retail. rockers $1.8k retail. add everything up. 10-15 IN PARTS!. all bolt on? yeah right. when crower and pace send you everything, sure bolt it on. when the $ comes out of your pocket you never just bolt it on. If something fails the manufacturer will say "send it in and we will evaluate it". who's out the time and parts for redo even if their part is bad? YOU. I can never tell if they're being safe, are you guys gonna consistently run an electric water pump or be unsafe? and why don't you run EGT's and an air turbine/fuel flow meter? how did you determine pushrod length? POV clearance? CR? crank stroke? actual valve lift? dur. @ .050 ? so many clearance checks left out. cam thrust? valve adjustment on a big roller shouldnt be done at TDC. no lets spend 8 minutes on u-joints and some guys race program.

[@Brock_Landers]

Even with the ARP head studs, those FailPro head gaskets are shit...ESPECIALLY when you're talking about making 900 horsepower. I have had so many problems with Felpro MLS head gaskets and I'll never use them again. I'm not talking shit on Felpro because they do make some really good gaskets and other products, but I've never had any good experiences with their head gaskets.

Why not do a show with affordable, reliable parts that the average Joe can afford and show how that works.
