[@donziperk]

Do Not bottom your head studs in the block like these guys did with a impact tool. It states in the ARP instructions to put them in hand tight only. With heat expansion you can damage your block or stud threads. On the engines I build I measure the thread depth then ensure that my studs go in far enough and aren’t being held up by a tight thread burr. I personally leave them a 1/4 loose and have had no issues with that in 30 plus years of building the specific engines I build.

3:58 what happened to RP oil? They stop paying you guys to lie.

Ford Engines are so awesome 😎

This is awesome. Been a Ford fan for years

[@charliewilson3528]

I had a 69 Lincoln mk lll and it had a 460 and it was a good highway speeder. But nothing like that! And a magic carpet ride. Better than many. Newer cars.

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

The TQ curve is outrageous. 😳😮

750 h.p. with a single carb, pump gas and a streetable cam and cylinder heads - a number race engines made not so many years ago. 1000 h.p. still just as streetable, still on pump gas puts it amongst some strong street engines - no matter how common the magazines make it sound, how many do you actually see? More cylinder head, more camshaft, more carburetor and 1300 to 1400 (on the bottle) isn't out of the question. Now THAT'S one wicked street package.

[@sandchar]

I wouldn't call it a reliable street package but definately a street package. Only thing that I would change is run a hydraulic roller cam to make it more maitence free.

[@Motor-City-Mike]

@@sandchar This particular build - I say it's reliable - you could drive a car with this engine in it every day without a breakdown, in fact rollers don't have failure issues when they don't sit - the roller axles stay lubricated - and they would be the weak point, that's as reliable as any high output engine gets. You don't get stock engine reliability once you start making modifications. If setting valve lash occasionally is what you're getting at, both flat tappet and roller solids go a lot more miles without adjustment than most people realize. I ran flat tappet solids in my street/weekend race cars (at that time it was one car for everything) for about two decades and it was unusual for one to need lash adjustment more than once every 10,000 miles even with seriously wild cams. As engine man for a race team (NASCAR truck series) engine maintenance was my responsibility, part of that was monitoring the valvetrain, watching for failure (solid rollers). We'd run 2-1/2 hrs, 500 race miles - wide open throttle with the exception of yellow flags, with engine speeds between 7800 and 8100rpm - and never had any lifter failures. Valvetrain inspection was checking valve lash, if it varied it was the first sign of one of several possible failures. The only time lash varied more than a couple thousandths the issue was valve stretch, titanium valves have a finite service life before they'll stretch then fail in tension. You probably know what dropping a valve does to an engine. Valve springs on this particular engine - and any engine that runs high rpm - would be high maintenance, and going to a hydraulic roller would make that worse. Hydraulic roller lifters are heavier that solids so the springs need to be stiffer to run the same rpm as solids. These kind of builds require inspection which is maintenance just the same - nothing with this kind of output is maintenance free. The maintenance would be the same or worse depending on how often it's wound up high.

Very impressive numbers!!!!

Im a chevy guy, but damn, thats impressive

[@dandylion1987]

You guys certainly filled the whole left by Engine Masters, nice work

[@RonI-qz2tz]

Looks good. But compared to S6 E5 when you went to JKR a little low on power. John made 1100hp with no power adders. But still love the video

[@starbattles1]

Not surprised.... That's Ford!

[@curtiscamaro5926]

Wow! Thats Insane. Let me just bring you my Whole Car.

[@vulcan-900bobber7]

Imagine this in a AC Ford Cobra 😃 Or a Pro street Willys

[@BradThePitts]

I have almost exactly half the power in mine, even that's too much under 30mph. (Kit car of course)

[@HammerHeadGarage]

@@BradThePitts Yup you could never use it on the street.

Having to pull the plugs over and over on a big block with nitrous in a cobra would be a pain.

@@bigboreracing356 That can happen with any engine...

Keep that set-up and add twin turbo

[@neoladams8519]

All Hail the King Ford BB!

[@177SCmaro]

Nitrous does not increase volumetric efficiency. It increases the percentage of oxygen available in the volume you have. Volumetric efficiency is effected by the mechanical design of the engine - intake design, valve lift, timing, ect. Volumetric efficiency is the percentage of an engine's cylinder volume (displacment) that is drawn in before the intake valve closes. Typically this is around 80-90%. Sometimes higher in highly tuned 2 valve or most 4 valve performance, vvt engines. Supercharged engines technically can increase VE but really what they're doing is mechanically increasing air density. The actual volume of the engine doesn't change.

[@joseywales2037]

volumetric effeciency is measure of maxium amount of oxygen volume an engine will take in and at what rpm it reaches that so by increasing oxygen intake they are increasing volumetric effeciency the same as a turbo or blower you dnt get the increased heat generated from either no lag as from turbo and no horsepower loss as from blower all that has nothing to do with volumeteic effecincy just rambling on yes not mechanically increasing it but it does increase it

[@elijahrobinson2362]

I was (very) mildly disappointed that it didn’t make 2 hp/ci. Torque was slightly over that figure (1119/557), though.

[@xXMadman28194Xx]

Wow.. big numbers baby!! Wooo

[@michaelparadisis4076]

Ford 460 jazzed up makes a hell of a lot of power. Similar head design/layout to its little brother Cleveland

[@marshallmcdowell3369]

Building a similar 557 with 10.3:1 compression and aluminum SCJ heads for a 1978 LTD. Wanting it to be a sleeper like the Granada build.

[@superkillr]

You chose Trick Flow???? Uhh how about Trick Flow sponsored their own commercial.

[@wkjeeping9053]

Ported heads but not polished. So job only half done. There I is no point to port without polishing. Now with direct injecting fuel injection, port and polish are useless!

[@f4udhorn]

1119 Ft. Lbs. of Torque!! What's gonna beat that!

[@marktadlock5428]

I off-road with a 1979 Ford Bronco running the original 400M I have been thinking of upgrading to a 460 cu. in. But i don't a 5900 rpm engine, off-roading I need low rpm torque 1800- 3500 controllable for trail driving and rock crawling. I would love to see a build for a similar rig as my own.

[@danareynolds1786]

I always thought it was standard practice to back off head and main studs 1/4 - 1/2 turn after bottoming out so that the base of the stud doesn't try to break through the bottom of the hole during heat cycling & expansion. Also, I realize it's not as critical with a roller cam, why not add the assurance/insurance of a high-zinc break-in oil. "Back in the day" I ran non-detergent straight 30-weight (good luck finding that nowadays!) as a 200 mile break-in oil; all motor oils had sufficient zinc levels then.

[@Chris_P_Kreme]

Yes and because they're sponsored...youre right in both aspects

[@areyouundoingthatorwhat9181]

We in the UK can still purchase high zinc content oils,mainly for older stuff and lawnmowers etc.But there are a few companies still able to supply us,I also assumed that backing studs out half a turn was standard practice.

[@danareynolds1786]

@@areyouundoingthatorwhat9181, high zinc oil is still available, but current standard practice is low/no. High zinc is really only used now for fresh builds with standard hydraulic lifter cams so the lobes don't get wiped out.

[@biscuitboy3617]

The Trick Flow 325 Power Port heads are very nice pieces, but for this size of displacement, I think they are a bit on the small side. This combo with some P-51 heads will pull over 800 horses on motor alone, and very likely be over 1100 on the bottle. And with the new SR-71 heads, I think power would be substantially more still.

[@kevz557]

That bow tie came undone and Ford made you a new one !!! Lol lol FORD RULEZ . CHEVY SUCKED SO BAD THEY STOPPED MAKIN CAMAROS CAUSE FORD WUZ BRINGIN OUT THE CAN OF WHOOP ASS FOR'M LOL HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@StainlessTIG2]

I bet this Ford would’ve hit 850+ on motor with the AFR, Profiler, and the Trickflow 365 cylinder heads and 1200hp on nitrous.
