Vortech Blower on a Ford Makes 1,200 Horsepower! [For a '68 Mustang!]

[@robertreavley7145]

Wow what a Windsor monster! A great way of solving the weak head set up. By installing the head sealing rings! Then correctly diagnosed the head lifting issues. And solving it with a comprehensive understanding of the problem. And putting in bigger rings to compensate for the problem! Learned more again! And as ever cracking video bud!! Thanks!!!

[@brtherb8677]

Hurt feelings and make children cry... heck yeah..!! Beast of a build..!!

[@deanstevenson6527]

My feelings were hurt and my inner child cried. I thought , hey here's a 7 litre FE build with a blower. My joy was restored with each moment of the build video. Thanks. The old Dart really honks!

[@TheHorsepowerMonster]

Thanks! And thanks for watching!

[@RadDadisRad]

It’s not an FE build

[@rogermarshall8991]

Another qualified. 1989 Bronco XLT power plant. Beautiful engine guys !!!

[@cavscout62]

What a beautiful soundtrack this Monster plays!

[@danielwilson6665]

I grew up in my older brother Genes speed shop that specialized in Fords during the sixties and early seventies. That’s where I learned how critically important paying strict attention to the smallest of details is. Prestige has taken the engine assembly detailing process and turned it into a science of perfection. Well done PM !

[@johnsmith-qz4bv]

what a beast that mustang is going to be a hand full

[@leshreddur]

Wow what MONSTER!!!

[@thesquirrelchroniclesakare7808]

She is a BEAST ! I love it

[@deanstevenson6527]

Luv the dual synch ignition trigger. Great to see Holley backing up this project. Exceptionally good stuff.

[@rooster7658]

Good ol big inch Windsor..wish I still had my 427

[@prestigemotorsports]

Another great video from you, Jeff! Love it!

[@jasonr7019]

That poor alternator was belching fire out its ass on the pull at 24:50

[@villiersman951]

yeh i seen that to i was wondering weather my eyes were playing up glad someone else seen it as well

[@wako29]

then the air filter said "Aight, time for me to leave"

[@plumbs7199]

Love your videos! Awesome motor showing off superior skill and craft !

[@TheHorsepowerMonster]

Thanks a lot! And thanks for watching

[@Omnihil777]

I learn a LOT on your videos, thank you so much for that, even if I work mainly with lower displacement german and japanese engines (you call it "import" over there I think), there's so much to learn here, especially about forced induction. Plus: Every video I realize that the stuff you're working with over there is so much different from the european engines. Cooler in many ways, but that's just my opinion. Keep up this good work, this channel's a gem!

[@TheHorsepowerMonster]

Thanks very much! I love checking out the European and Japanese stuff, too. It's just that most of the engine builders I work with are stock car or drag racing guys and are almost always building American Iron. Thanks for watching!

[@danielwilson6665]

I have to agree with you opinion 👍

[@kevinpersonious1688]

That is a lot of work to getting everything done on the car for this motor. I hope to have ready for some test hits by the middle of September, I will keep everyone informed on how it works out. Next year is going to be a blast

[@toddwood5136]

I'm not a Ford guy but damn that is a bad ass engine!!! That would be the shit in a 70 Cougar.

[@thesquirrelchroniclesakare7808]

I was thinking a 65 Mustang fastback !

[@danielwilson6665]

It’s truly a beast. You might even call it a HORSEPOWER MONSTER ! 😉.

[@TheHorsepowerMonster]

Love it!

[@regsmith7604]

That’s a bad ass motor! 👍🏽👍🏽

[@Adam-nv9zo]

I need this in my Honda Civic 😆

[@CrotchRocket78]

You trying too fly too the moon?

[@mrdaykurutakuchannel]

Put it in the middle & Veyron-style AWD configuration, it'll be ridiculously badass!

[@RadDadisRad]

You might be able to set it ON your Honda Civic

[@johnboticki9154]

With the brush he used to lube the bearings, I've seen those brushes lose bristles before. Used to use them while lubing my ARs.

[@pwneytube]

Anyone skilled enough to be putting these engines together would notice that.

[@johnboticki9154]

@@pwneytube yup for sure. Everytime. They are probably way better quality then what I bought. Just something to look out for, for the average novice is all.

[@pwneytube]

@@johnboticki9154 I use copper brushes and LPS2 for my rifles, and I've seen copper wire strands left behind after cleaning so it definitely happens.

[@johnboticki9154]

@@pwneytube yup. Saw someone doing it and thought it was a good idea. First time I did, it lost bristles. Brushes are not for me I guess.

[@Zachsmoparandmashedpotatos]

These guys are building an engine for me🤘🏻

[@TheHorsepowerMonster]

Good plan!

[@Zachsmoparandmashedpotatos]

@@TheHorsepowerMonster I got to tour the facility when I dropped off some parts for my build. Very Impressive! I love how it smells in there haha 😆

Awesome. What engine are you having built? I'll have to keep an eye out for it the next time I swing by there.

This is very informative, even to a lehman like myself

[@TheHorsepowerMonster]

Thanks! And thanks for watching!

[@MatsNorway]

@@TheHorsepowerMonster Cool stuff. Cheers from EU, no clue about all the values is tho. all strange inch units. But still interesting.

[@ThePaulv12]

@@MatsNorway Thousands of an inch is a way of 'metricating' the inch. .500" is half an inch. .125" is an 8th of an inch, .250" is a quarter of an inch. I must say you guys crack me up. In my world metric and inches are just the way it is. I hear Americans complaining about metric as much. I say move on.

[@rooster7658]

I really really like this set up

[@Spad68]

Wow the extra head bolts like offer on the man o war block help the head lifting issue .

[@jakemyler8524]

Again, outstanding content!

[@dadfood3504]

Vortech for the win

[@rooster7658]

Wish we could the the 68 its gonna go in

[@derricksharman4658]

how much did that build cost gentlemen? Im in the market for a 351/427 for a 76 cobra 2.

[@tomp538]

Really like the build videos. That blower belt looks tortured to me... too bad the blower can't be located closer to the pulley.

[@MS-nk4xb]

- Å fan!

[@kimelleman]

Holy Smokes...

[@thomasmennis]

I’d love to know what the customer paid for this amount of engine.

[@thesquirrelchroniclesakare7808]

20 k... Maybe more

[@codycall6513]

Crazy knowing basic rotating assembly upgrades for the Honda k24 or 2jz can make this power for 2 thirds as much. Definitely didn't push as hard as they could have.

[@CrotchRocket78]

Yes...

[@young11984]

@@codycall6513 “basic rotating assembly upgrades” yea like crank rods and pistons, epoxied deck to keep it from splitting the cylinder bores then you have to do the head work, cams etc on the K series and doubt it will come in at 2/3 the price and even be reliable then. Maybe on the 2J you can get by at 2/3 but still reliability will suffer, i know several K20-24s at 12-1500hp and 1 2J around 1650 and neither are rock solid reliable but are around $15k builds....they are solid at 800 though

[@king_dozer_1325]

What about 2 superchargers?

[@timewarpvideo6244]

nice

[@pelovett]

What is the lobe separation angle on that cam? Thanks.

[@pedroequis9396]

Why is there a difference in rocker ratios ?

[@Chainsaw-ASMR]

24:52 - Why is lightning shooting out of the alternator?

[@RC-ib1yw]

It looks like it spark was jumping between the alternator and the cylinder head. That takes some serious voltage.

[@belcebu5907]

Minster video

[@maximusvonce1381]

I hope you are using Isky Bushed Lifters. Needle bearings wont last on street.

[@RadDadisRad]

Needle bearings last quite a while. Lots of powerful LS motors using needle bearings without issue exist.

[@makattak3550]

What is a dart block? Didn't chev have dart heads?

[@TheHorsepowerMonster]

Dart is a manufacturer of blocks and cylinder heads.

[@montneymon-ta-knee6810]

what is all the sparks in front of the engine

[@lawrencemick1665]

The blower, it wouldn't handle that Ford power

[@tomhamilton9140]

😎👍

[@gregarioussolitudinist5695]

Sounds like a turbine. I thought the customer wanted lope, maybe that is not correct. Maybe it is what I wanted to hear.

[@SteveXNYC]

AlwYs boosting... Crime pays all.

[@dee9117]

O rings made of 39 thousandths wire and not too fuel hoops which seem to be the big thing these days little surprising but man what a bad beast that is…..

[@dee9117]

Bahahaha i stand corrected you replaced them with hoops after it lifted the head man shoulda finished the video

[@TheHorsepowerMonster]

No worries! Been there!

[@Mr1Tanker]

Too bad about the hat..he's probably going to have to put a scoop on it to clear. i know i wouldn't really want to cut the hood on a '68 'Stang. :/ That engine compartment will be full!

[@roderickcarpenter2158]

Why such thin rings in a forced induction build?

[@Procharged32]

Go straight to SME.

Anytime copper is used it should be baked in the oven

[@bobgyetvai9444]

A motor dont care whose name is on the valve covers . Theres no denying the laws of physics either , and that includes the way its built or its material composition of critical components . Some guys push motors Far beyond the motors structural sane capabilities for durability . I believe this is one of those cases as THIS BLOCK hasnt yet broke into 2 pieces as ive Seen other Windsors do NA . The Science to achieve this power level is good . I wouldve chose a diffetent candidate.......

[@boostedperformance4529]

had Sparks coming out of the alternator
