What he said in spades.

My Friends.. THanks guys.. My wife appreciates it..

Bill and Wayne, cobra owners came by tonight and said they know someone named Bob who has FE motors available locally. They will send name & phone to me if they remember.

Just trying to help here.

THanks Bob.. At this point, I need help finding a block with some wall thickness on all eight cylinders.

[mikiec]

You could get a 390 and a stroker kit.

Try putting an ad on craigslist and also on Racing Junk. Maybe you'll find someone that wants to unload an old boat anchor they've had laying out in the weeds.

Get a Levy motor?
Stage 6 Engine Street Engine
The is a stroked 351 Windsor displacing 408 CI.
Features of this engine include a fully forged rotation assy, Custom solid roller cam, Victor JR heads, Internally balanced, Super victor Intake, 10-1 compression

This engine made a whopping 633hp and 618lbft of torque on the dyno. This was done with unported heads and a Holley 750 carb. That means there is way more in this one.

Like any Levy Racing engine, this is custom built one at a time to customer specs.

Price: $10995 Call to order.

633 hp with unported Victor Jr heads? Uh, no.....

618 lb-ft with only 408 cubes? Uh, no.....

Needs to turn the happiness dial down on the dyno by about 100 hp/100 lb-ft. Getting 1.5 lb-ft of torque per cubic inch is NHRA Pro Stock territory, not something you get out of 408 inches and unported Victor Jr heads that flow about 270-280 cfm.

[Danr55]

Bob, I think I've got something on the line locally. If that peter's out, I'll be in touch quickly. Thanks

[Karl Bebout]

blykins,

Nice call and I don't think anyone will dispute your creds. There is a lot of "special koolaid" that comes out that is just not quite correct. I choose not to drink it.

[Danr55]

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have success! Found a suitable block and we are on the down hill side.

[Karl Bebout]

Danr, congratulations! Hope it has only two or three sleeves....

Who's doing the machine work and assembly?

Gonna be running and broken in for Rt. 66? Hope so. I think I'm the only one from this end of town doing it.

[Bob Broberg SPF667 460BB]

Don't worry Karl, us West siders will be there to keep you honest. You could be in our "hottest butt" contest.
Don't ask.
AZ Bob

[Karl Bebout]

No doubt I'll have a serious case of swampAZZ after that many miles in the seat.

[Danr55]

Roger at Standard Machine is doing the work and from what I was told, there will be exactly no sleeves. (They are the same folks who built CarNut's cute little motor. They come highly recommended.) If I have to drive it every day between the day I get it back and the day we leave for the run, it will be broken in and ready! I hope. All I need besides the car is a couple of weeks without an airplane trip to somewhere exotic....like east Texas.

[BBQCYCLEWERKES]

Glad to hear you found a motor.

[dave from mesa]

This is good to here Dan. Was wondering what was going on with that.
Good luck.

[mikiec]

Yes, Roger does good work. That new, to you, block is in good hands. Did he give you a completion date?

[Danr55]

Did he give you a completion date? Not exactly. I told him I needed it for Rt. 66 and he asked when is that? I told him the first weekend in May and he kind of rolled his eyes.. then he said, "We can make that.".. So..
