Something I put together as a learning curve. What do you all think?

Hope you guys/girls like. There are two videos. One posted as a link only.

really nice. i wish the 12' had that loopey sound.

 

Your '12 uses 1/3 the gas and has 50% more power (and it's useable on the street!). Can't have it all

 

That's pretty cool, Joe. Thanks for sharing. What did you learn as you were building this engine? You've done a number of Ford engines already. What was different about this one? I hope you post another video once you have it running in your car.

I took Clevelad heads and modified them to fit the Windsor block (the modofication was basic and simple)
I used Cleveland pistons with stock length Scat rods and a stock 5.0 Crankshaft. I have a bout 2500 dollars in the build and it will make (I hope) 370 to 400 HP. There is nothing elaborate to the build and it will yield good HP for the money invested.

I ran the piston .050" thous out of cylinder bore and right up into the combustion chamber to get about 10 to 1 compression. I was worried about pist to cylinder head interferance but with a bevel placed on the piston top it gave room for the idea to work.

Now as for your question Warren, I learned that you can take a little knowledge and not spend alot of money to put a decent running engine tgether that has some cool factor.(it looks like a 69/70 BOSS engine) It should and will out perform the 5.0 that came in Fox platform Mustangs.
The thing I learned compared to other Ford Engines I have done is I did not have to buy or find very many aftermarket parts to build good power from a small block Ford engine.

This engine has been placed into an 86 Mustang notch back and will be weighed and run down the quarter mile. This will help me establish fairly accurate HP numbers by using online calculators with inputs of weight vs. MPH to find the HP.

Then I will know if I hit a good combination of parts with this engine or weather I wasted my time.

The engine is now in the test car. Perhaps it will run well? I will rev to 6500 RPM quite easily and I think it will be satble valve train wise to 7000 RPM.

Excellent job. Keep us posted on the progress. Post some pictures of the donar car that recives the Boss Implant.

 

You would laugh, It is a 1986 Mustang Coupe that has sat around so long it has moss on it. So new nickname is Moss Boss. LOL

I only want the car as a test bed (wieght vs MPH gives me the ability to calculate HP)

Its very ugly.

Joe

 

Nice job. It doesn't take much to make a better engine than what came in the fox, they had weak heads for starters but then again it doesn't take much to make a decent motor either out of sbf. the motor look real nice

 

My son and i are building the same engine as u did.What im wondering is we have an 86 lx foxbody and would like to know what headers u used in the 86 foxbody u have. Thanks for any info u can provide.

 

I have no idea what any of that means, but it sure does sound good. Nice testing rig! Good job!
