I just wanted to share a little project under way.
Soon I'll be installing a 511 FE Shelby block twin Paxton motor in my Kirkham.
The specs off the top of my head are as follows:
Shelby FE 427 block, 511ci
Twin Paxton polished SN60s
Dual Holley 660s
Blue Thunder (or Dove? Can't remember w/o build sheet) dual intake tunnel wedge
Edelbrock heads (Stage III porting and matching), Prec valves, K-Mo springs
Crower roller cam and lifters
SCAT H-beam rods and 4340 forged crank, Speed Pro bearings
Diamond custom pistons
Melling HV pump, Aviaid pan and tray and other misc pieces I'm forgetting.
Here's a pic of the Paxton
mock up:
She pulled 653HP/615TQ with its low C/R and 91 pump gas (no superchargers). The SN60s could/should add up to about 200 HP. Should be fun and I'll keep posting if people would like to see it.
The work is being done by Tom Lucas of FE Specialties in Sacramento, CA.
He'll also be doing the install.
