Sheared Dist Pin............
I have done that twice on my motor, I have a Unilite and it seems to eat the roll pin? once out in the middle of know where (desert) I had to pull the Dist and fix it in town, re assemble and drive off. any thoughts on fixing it? I have up to 75 psi oil pressure when cold 60 when hot. I do not want to put a solid pin in because that is the weak link.
Let me know if you find out what is causing this....
Keep it above 100................
Brian

Eric - sounds like you've got a good shootout planned! Let us know the results. We will also need to know more about the heads on both engines if thats were you are going with these tests, and if both engines are baseline built the same . Good luck!

1969cobrajet, it depends
429/460 blocks have the same bore. what you end up with depends on the crank/pistons.
429/460/514/533 etc. could all be the same block.

Hey guys, I'm picking up my Factory five Roadster June 1st. I've ordered it for a big block. I've got the short block built. 30 over flat tops, hoping for 10.5:1 comp, cobrajet rods. Now I saving to buy the Edlebrock RPM setup: 75cc heads, cam kit and intake. Looking for 475+HP. Options also ordered with FFR: full IFS & IRS
pindrive setup, Trigo knockoff wheels, leather. Can't wait!!!

Reaction re reduced port size from Ford Motor Sports...
The guys at Ford Motorsports Technical are great.......cept sometimes I feel like you get too much "personal opinion" thrown in on some questions.....
Spoke with one of their guys with some clutch questions........he went into a short disertation on optimizing the 514 Cobra Jet heads by reducing intake and exhaust ports.
This obviously is counterintuitive - he suggested specialized process was adding 100 HP and Lbs at lower to midrange.........(Like we need it).......I've been working on trying to get more air to mine to make sure it's breathing properly at higher RPM........
Curious if anyone else has heard reference to this new approach. Supposedly increases velocity and angle of air into combustion chamber ya da ya da......
FYI mostly.

Just checking in here . . . . .
Have a nice 460 sitting in my garage waiting to be put in my Hunter #74.
I'll tell you, a 460 sitting in the middle of an empty garage makes for a very nice conversation piece. Actually had someone driving by my house, stop and ask me what it was!

Mike,
Wow, it sounds like you maxed out on every thing on this engine. How much are you expecting - you could be pushing 700 hp. with that combo.

jdean
you're right and wrong. the suggested horsepower is short of the actual engine dyno numbers. i am having a chassis dyno done next week so i'll let you know then, we're expecting a little over 825 and 790 torque. fingers crossed
