The SCCA spec Cobras were powered by the 289. In fact the Ford GT's competing in the WEC before '66 were also powered by the 289.
Is there a part number for this kit Eagle Specialty Products: EAGLE ROTATING ASSEMBLY (BALANCED, .030, H-BEAM ROD, FORGED, MAHLE PISTON -6CC, ESP ARMOR
And it costs much less than an LS7
NICE! Is this an off the shelf package from Summit?
Hey guys love the show. I know you’ve done plenty of Windsor builds but I’d love to see how far you can take the ford motorsports alloy z351 block with borla stack injection. Some are saying you can get 460cui out of these.
If you notice on the graph the long stroke motor is already making over 500hp at only 4000 rpm so and like 562 at 5252 ( where HP cross over and read the same) .
My point is to only gain another 50 Hp by revving it to sky high another 1800 to 7000 rpm doesn’t really make a lot of sense pretty indicative of the combo being a bit overkill.
When the torque is that flat you can pretty much shift at 5500-6000 and it will run about the same ET and be way easier on parts.
I built a much milder 427 that I only rev to 5600-5800 But it makes about 520 Hp but it has enough torque at 2100 rpm to cruise with a 5 speed manual Tremec in overdrive at 70 mph. In a 2350 pound cobra replica I wanted a motor that felt very close to a factory 427FE with torque everywhere. I’m very happy with it!
The segment talked about for shoulder to cam clearance but never showed any of it…I’ll bet they had issues!! I had to relieve the shoulders of all my rods to clear the cam lobes and even rr ground the cam to a smaller base circle.
Btw stroker 427’s like tighter lobe separation and more cam advance. Why close the intake so late and give up all the stroke just to gain RPM?
I don't want a bigger engine. I'd rather build a great 289, 318 or 283. Sounds the same. All the power you need for today's driving. I don't need to use more gas than that.
I love the videos, I really wish I knew more about intake centerline, and vacuum readings since I grew up in an era of fuel injection finding good carburetor tuning is really difficult
Aftermarket block , 2 bolt mains still? Price breakdowns???
Why would they not have took it back to 30 degrees
Better looking than any LS out there.

He said shaft diameter. Huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh. 😁
How does this engine sound so good? Explanation please!
A Holley Hi-Ram fuel-injection with a little less camshaft would be an ideal street engine. Very impressive numbers.
I dont think that DSS offers engine blocks any longer.
Plz send me the stuff to do this to mine I got no idea on what to get for it .
My buddy put a 351 Windsor in a 64 Mustang he had to use the 289 manifolds to fit in between the two towers
You can just about make any engine make more horsepower but what about liability how long before it’s fails
Does the 427 Windsor have a higher deck height than the 351?
I've got close to the same combination. I would like to see you guys use the Howard's 224455-09 instead of the 224455-12 to see if it makes more horsepower and torque
Trick flow 240 highports then turn it to 7k. Leave the 950. I wanna see that.
I hate how TV show will always leave out cam spec's. Duration and LIFT!!! we want to know it all. Glad they've gotten better at this.
Are you running pumped gas with that compression?
Hot rod mag did a 392 inch windsor. It made 748 horsepower.
I read about doing this in the 90s. Always wanted to do one. Now it's almost common.
from the looks of it, they appeared to be degreeing the cam with the #2 cylinder(first cylinder on the right side of the motor)
Did you forget to set the thrust clearance ?
I have a question when watching 70s car chases like in the movie (white lightning 1973) what engine noise do they use for gators car? What engine makes that sound?
I'd like to see hor cheap 393w builds! I"d have to dive thru the barn, but i got the parts to build that! I'll be going in a 94F150 flareside! Can't use what you can't hook up anyway! Build a cheap 5 liter piston, Windsor rod, pressed pin 306 piston motor! Big hydraulic roller cam that will drop right in my 95 roller block! I got heads!
Hello 👋👋👋 how are u 🙂 smiles 😁
That is beautiful eye candy
