THESE ENGINES WON LEMANS IN 1964 IN THE 289ci FORM IN THE GT-III CLASS AND BEAT FERRARI BY ALMOST 40 MINUTES. A YEAR EARLIER A FORD AC 289ci FIRST RACED AGAINST FERRARI WAS 20 MILES AHEAD WHEN IT BLEW AN OILER COOLER. IN THE COBRAS THEY SLAUGHTERED THE CORVETTES AND WERE NO COMPETITION. THESE ENGINES ARE A TERROR AND THE REASON YOUR LS TODAY IS BASED ON THE FORD WINDSOR SMALL BLOCK. JUST PUT YOUR FINGER INTO THE INTAKE PORT OF A LS AND YOU WILL SEE THEY CURVE INTO THE INTAKE VALVE AND IDENTICAL DESIGN TO THE WINDSOR WHICH IS A SPIRAL INDUCING COMBUSTION CHAMBER, WHICH ALSO THE HIGH RISER FORD 427 RAISED PORTS WERE USED BEING A FORD THEORY OF ENTERING THE CYLINDER AT A STRAIGHTER SHOT INTO THE CYLINDER GIVING IT BETTER FLOW. THIS IS THE REASON LS HEADS CAN GIVE YOU BIG BLOCK FLOW NUMBERS. CHEVY IS A JOKE. AND THE CAMARO IS IN BIG TROUBLE AGAIN, SLATED TO BE CLOSED DOWN A SECOND TIME BY THE MUSTANG. WHY DON'T YOU DO A EPISODE ON THE PURE STOCK COYOTE NMRA RACING. WHERE 425HP STOCK OFF THE FORD ASSEMBLY LINE ENGINES WITH COLD AIR INTAKE AND HEADERS ONLY WITH FORD'S TUNE COMPUTER. IN 3000LBS FOXBODY MUSTANGS ARE GOING 9.80'S ON PUMP GAS AND 9.40'S ON RACE GAS AND OUTLAW TUNE. THIS GOES BEYOND MIND BOGGLING HOW A 425HP COULD GO SO FAST. THE REASON FOR THIS IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THESE OVERHEAD CAM COYOTE ENGINES CAN REACH THE POWER BANNED EXTREMELY QUICK, WHERE AS A STANDARD PUSHROD ENGINE REQUIRES MORE TIME TO GET INTO THE POWER BAN. SO IN THESE HORSEPOWER COMPARISON BETWEEN THE LS AND THE COYOTE WHERE THE LS WINS MEANS NOTHING. WITH LESS HORSEPOWER THE COYOTE WILL TAKE DOWN AN LS QUITE EASILY. THE NEW COYOTE ENGINES WITH THE 460HP ARE GOING EVEN QUICKER. WITH THE OLD 425HP COYOTE IN A 2500LBS CAR, WOULD THEORETICALLY GO 8.90'S. YOU SHOULD BUILD A NMRA PURE STOCK COYOTE AND RACE IT. THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT EPISODE.

Thanks for doing this build. This is pretty much the same combination I did for a 347 I put into my Cobra Kit Car. I never dynode it, but my calculations said it should make about 535-550 HP.

@@anonymousanonymous9991 302, 306, 331s have split around 500-550 hp. 347 is bored .030, which is basically what you would take a 302 to make a 306, you just increase the stroke by .40 to a 3.40 stroke over the stock 3.00 but that is made up in the rods and crank.

Those little Fords can wind out the power!

[@CrzyMav]

Love the small block Ford engines. There’s a reason Shelby used these style type small blocks on the early Cobras. And it all started with the little 260,289,302,351W. When Ford put the 302 roller engine on the early Fox bodies, it was a great engine but was just lacking horsepower. But when they figured it out it was a little BEAST.

[@edjackson4389]

I remember my first ride in a 1988 LX 5.0 Mustang 5-speed. First time I had been to 140 mph. Even at just 225hp it felt and sounded mean as hell!! Felt much faster than any Mopar or Chevy at the time. Most Camaros and Corvettes in the 80s were auto transmission cars which were joy killers back then. Even if you did stumble across a stick shift Chevy they were still lacking that beautiful exhaust sound 5.0s are known for.

[@cyclopszack3187]

Speed is a matter of money, I run 200 shot nitrous on my 302, several Tesla destroyed and still have money in bank...

[@PCMenten]

There was some talk about the wall thickness of 85-86 5.0 blocks allowing a bore of 4.125”. I would probably go to 4.100” and stroke that. I already have too many projects, though. Like a 393 roller cam Clevor stroker.

AltoAnimal109 Ball they weren’t the two bolt main production blocks, Craig was running a ford performance four bolt main block in that car, or a dart block, yes you can make over 500 in them and be somewhat reliable with the right block prep, and main girdle naturally aspirated, but throw in power adders and that gets risky, over 700 it’s a bomb waiting to blow and will split right through the China rails and lifter valley all the way down to the mains. Could someone have pushed 1000 horses through a production 2 bolt main block yeah miracles can happen but I can assure you it was short lived and very very ugly when it went south

I'm planning my Cobra project. Is either the Stage 1 or Stage 2 available as crate package from Summit yet? (I'm leaning towards Stage 1). Love this motor! It's very close to the original / authentic Cobra 427SC, but in a 302 block!

I'd live a video of how to decide what to do with a block with regards to machining. From boneyard to machine shop.
