[Racecraft]

The deals for an LS series engine make it a great choice.

As it turns out I will be putting my 413 LSx from my drag car into my 67 and turning my 67 Camaro into a PT car with 6 speed & the 4.56 9" centre from the drag car (was backed up by TH400 and 6000rpm stall in drag car).
The engine in the drag car is considered old tech LS stuff now - Made 730hp at flywheel Naturally Aspirated so should make fun car.

[Denvervet]

I don't even have my engine in yet and sure thinking about EFI. I'm going to setup my fuel system, O2 sensor bungs, etc just in case I get to go there in the future. For now we'll see how the carb works.

[Speedster]

LSX TT 388 ci

I made my choice today. BBC w/carb. 454 at this point but I will have to go through it. Not sure where it will end up for displacement yet. EFI and forced induction to come later as the budget allows.

Update:

stock LS1 w/ Texas speed and performance cam kit 228R, headers, tune, cold air intake, ported throttle body, LS6 intake ect.

I'm a fan of those BBC's myself.

[70rs]

Tones2ss, This will be my first big block. I'm kind of looking for ideas on how to set it up. Looking for 450+hp and 450+tq. It will be street driven but not a daily driver. I'll have a manual trans behind it. And it will be abused on a regular basis by my right foot.:unibrow:
So which heads? Intake? Cam?
It is a stock mid 70's 454 out of a 3/4 ton truck.
It runs good now but has about 100k on it so I will tear it down and do a full rebuild.

I am planning to use the stock crank and rods as long as they check out ok.
(unless there is a cost efficient way to stroke it?)

Thanks for any ideas/tips,
Eric

Seems like we both have almost the same type of build in mind, except that I'll be doing a '69 Camaro and maybe fuel injected? Not sure yet if I want to do a carb or fuel injected???

Thats an interesting statement...:rolleyes:

With a single turbo, fuel pump, injectors and a little head work the RB26 is no terd, with listed mods above the engine can produce huge amounts of power. Not to mention the work is cheap to do!

Also the main reason i am using the engine is because of the way the tranny is set up. AWD here I come....:thumbsup:

Thanks. It's a Vintage Air Frontrunner setup. It's a very solid, well made drive system. Fits great, but I did have to cut up the crank pulley to make room for the MSD crank trigger.

The air cleaner pan will be cut to size and a gasket added once I get it under the cowl hood.

Thanks guys!

70rs, the tear down of the car ( I'm the original owner ) is going painfully slow, partly due to my health, partly due to the garage being unheated!

The interior is nearly all out, just have to remove the heater / ac box, some wiring, and steering column. Drivetrain is out except the original 3:73 posi ten bolt. Front subframe and fenders will come off as soon as I trial fit the big block & T56 combo for any interference.

All new suspension from Speedtech, SC&C, Hotchkis, Pro-Touring F Body. Brakes are Hydratech with C5 calipers and LS discs out back. T56 is a new LT1 ( that I picked a few years back ) behind a Spec Stage 3+ clutch and Fidanza flywheel.

With some hard work and a bit of luck, it'll be in the paint / body shop this Summer.

Hope to keep the car basically stock looking with the exception of the Goodmark cowl hood and Rushforth Concept II wheels. Tough to hide that.

Yeah baby--that's what I'm talking about---thing sounds healthy!

I will say that the ver 1 of the SBC "sounds" so much better than the LS motors--now I have no idea why that is, but at the first and second Optima shootout for example, there were quite a few guys commenting about this very thing---maybe there is less overlap on the cams for the LS motors because head flow is superior, who knows---but I think you made a great point, if you already have the stuff, it makes sense to use it--- you can put the money towards making the car handle instead.

Doug

[The WidowMaker]

i think the cams are just much smaller with a lot less overlap as you mentioned. ive always heard that quiet motors are the most efficent, and im not talking about slapping different mufflers on them to get that effect.

How come theres no love for Ford's new COYOTE!!!!!!

http://i767.photobucket.com/albums/xx311/joshfbm37/0412.jpg

The easy answer to that rhetorical question is -- because FORD et al are about 10 years behind in the marketing of "aftermarket crate engine" development. I'd love to do a Ford in one of my TWO fords - but it costs twice as much and is twice as hard to find ANY aftermarket parts such as headers etc for the project. Since 500 hp is 500 hp, most people just choose to do what is available on a cost/simplicity basis.

Glad to see you doing cutting edge work here! Super cool!:cheers:

[Ron in SoCal]

^ Greg - You are right about Ford being late to the game, but they're here now. Full page ads in the mags, multiple choice for displacement, good HP numbers with only a 5.0 and 32 valves (sexy to me). Street prices are similar to LS series. I even have a buddy who has a 2010 100 mile drop out w trans he's looking to sell.

I'm a GM guy, but to the Ford faithful I'd think this is cause to celebrate!

As far as aftermarket support, I can only imagine it's right around the corner...

[Matt@BOS]

You are correct Ron, Ford is finally trying to get competitive. I don't think they will ever reach the popularity of LS engines though. They sound way cooler in my opinion, and the blown 5.4 is awesome, but packaging it is going to discourage a ton of people. These mod motors are HUGE and are not simply a bolt in affair like LS engines are.

Also, the Coyote is a good deal but Ford motors are still expensive. If you want 500-600 horsepower out of a mod motor with an aluminum block you're looking at spending about 15 grand or more.

Yep Matt.... that was my point. HP is HP -- and the Ford offerings are hugely disproportionately expensive and complicated. Try dropping one of these in a simple application such as my '32 or '37 Ford -- and you're talking custom headers - a lack of accessory drive choices... and on and on. In the end - you end up with a very expensive homage to a "Ford in a Ford".

[fleetus macmullitz]

IMO it seems the aftermarket is on the bandwagon supporting these 5.0 Coyote swaps into popular Ford vehicles of any age.

I think the real reason Greg doesn't want to put a mod motor in a '32 is because he'd end up with a roadster so tall he'd have to use a step rail from an F350 to get in. These engines are stupid tall...like Rodger tall.

If I wasn't trying to build a car on a "budget" I'd build a Coyote 5.0 with a whipple and a forged bottom end. 650hp with the ability to happily rev to 7000rpm (or more) is just downright cool. There is also a company making a 351 stroker kit...

Without any other mods the 2011 Mustang 5.0 made 389 at the wheels with the addition of long tube headers.

http://www.mustang50magazine.com/techarticles/m5lp_1101_2011_ford_mustang_gt_bbk_headers_install/cold_air_intake.html

IIRC adding a tune and other normal bolt-ons those cars are over 500 fwhp already.

I like what Hollywood Hot Rods did with the new 5.0 DOHC for their Raybestos Brakes project.

Hey Skip - I saw that car at SEMA. HHR took all the FI off, modded the valley cover and fabbed up some old school Ford 427 valve covers. Came out pretty nice!

Edit: was that in the video?

You don't even want to know what the HHR Coyote motor cost to make it cool looking like Troy did that one.... :unibrow:

Sick, who's building that for you?

----------------------
A shop owned by a good friend of mine. They do a lot of Ford stuff, but he's an old Pontiac guy. They are going to fab the top of the tunnel ram base and mount the big Accufab throttle body on the front. Already have the valve covers setup for the 8 coils. The T&D shaft setup is getting installed on the heads in a week or so. Were pretty sure it will make ~720 HP normally aspirated. The Procharger should add another 450 easy. Street/strip. LSM in Detroit did the CNC lightening. The detail work is amazing. Block is 245# as cast. Its 185# now. And still way strong enough for what Im building.

For me it was a hard choice between an LS and SBC. I fell in love with the Inglese and they don't have a manifold for the LS yet. The engine dyno'd at 565hp. I probably lost 50hp-80hp by going with an SBC over an LS but I have a simpler system to maintain and also keep the build with a more traditional/historical appearance.

Mopar 440, 0.030 over with Ross light weight flat tops, zero deck height, 0.990 pins, Eagle rods, stock forged crank. Block has had a few oiling mods. Milodon road race pan with trap doors for oil control.

Edelbrock RPM heads with 75cc chambers (closed chamber) and a little bit of porting. Heads are on order, should have them in about three weeks.

Ultradyne solid NF62 grind. This cam has ramp rates that are designed to take advantage of the 0.904" Chrysler lifter size (it opens valves faster than engines with smaller diameter lifters are able to). This cam has a 270 advertised duration, 243 @ 0.050, but more duration @ 0.200 than most roller cams that have 243 @ 0.050. Cam only has gross valve lift of 0.548".

Mopar super stock six pack intake. Part number P3690982. Made by Weiand in the early 70's for Mopar to sell through the dealers as a "legal" super stock intake. Runner volume and length optimized for the 440. I purchased this intake off E-bay and sent it to F&B performance to convert to port EFI. Throttle bodies rated at 1900cfm.

Crank trigger wheel built into ATI SFI balancer. MSD crank trigger pick up. MSD distributor converted to send cam sync signal. MSD box to light the coil, XFI 2.0 system to tell the MSD what to do and control the pulse width on the injectors.

Pictures below are mock ups when we were fitting the hood over the engine and air cleaner. Air cleaner will be painted orange top / black base. May even put the 440 6bbl sticker on top. Heads in the pictures are my old ported iron heads.

This combo of cam / heads / intake will make a LOT of torque between 4k and 6k rpm. Put that in a 3200 pound car with 3.90 gears and a T56 six speed and it should move, right? With this cam, iron heads, an edelbrock RPM dual plane intake and a Barry Grant carb this car ran 90mph in the 1/8th mile with a 3 speed automatic and a mild convertor. With the change in heads it will pick up 50+hp on flow alone, then bump compression up 1 point, add this ram intake and EFI? It should be interesting. With aluminum heads and intake it should weigh close to small block Mopar weight.

Back it up with a built A580 5 speed auto trans from the SRT cars. Plan is to run about 12psi on pump gas and 18-20 on Q16. Should be around 800rwhp on pump and 1150-1200RWHP on Race gas. Plan is to be mostly a pump gas street car but I may run it in the Modern Street Hemi Shootout series from time to time just for giggles.
