FE and Holley part identification?
 

Hi Guys,
I'm a newbe to posting on here but have been spectating for a while, but looking for some info about FE and Holley parts ID (I'm UK based so FEs aren't so easy to find over here)

I am building up a Mk.II GT40 replica with an engine being built by Huddart Engine of Crewe. I'd like to know what valve covers the original car carried (I think they were called a "Baldy" cover or something like that) - what else were these fitted to? Also Is the transparent velocity stack a period Holley unit or something special made for the Mk.IIs only?

I see the valve covers don't have a breather. As my engine is also dry-sumped is this likely to be OK or is there another breather system somewhere else I can't see in the photo?

This is my engine spec. by the way

Ford 460ci (7.4l) FE series "Big Block" supplied and built by Huddart Engines, Crewe (UK).
‘May 1970’ block.
Eagle crank and rods.
Custom forged pistons @ 10.5 compression.
Steel damper.
Internal balance.
Edelbrock alloy heads with Victor manifold and Holley carburettor.
MSD distributor and control box with rev limiter.
Edelbrock alloy water pump.
Comp Cams mechanical cam and roller rockers.
Complete AVIAID dry sump kit with 3” oil pan, 4 stage pump with Gilmer drive.
9” oil tank and brackets, original style alloy filler bracket, oil take off, scavenge and pressure lines.

Many thanks guys, I know if there is an answer out there, it can be found here :cool:

Cheers

In your picture the breather line is right behind the cold air box.

Clarification
 

1966plus,

You list your engine as 460 ci. Is this based on the 460 block (in which case it's not an FE engine, it's a 385 series big block). Or is it a bored/stroked FE?

Thanks for all the answers :)

Bored and stroked FE as far as I am aware - I will getting hold of it in a couple of weeks so I'll post some pics then if you like. (the spec was a copy/paste from Huddart's spec sheet so it should be an FE)

Its getting mated up to a Porsche 930 transaxle via an adaptor plate the chassis people are developing for me :)

Edit - Stentor I've just checked the spec sheet again "FE Ford @ 452c.i. (7.4Litre) 500H.P." sorry for the confusion.
