MMmmMmMmmm....  V-8 tasty goodness...

What did your compression ration turn out to with your heads and head gasket?

What cam do you plan on running?

Last but not least, are you going to do a dyno pull on it?  *crosses fingers*

Compression ratio is 10:1 with the stock chamber size and .030 over pistons.

The cam is a Comp 266HR which is speed density friendly. The intake side is the same as a stock HO (@.050 210/210 HO cam) cam but the exhaust has 5* (@.050 210/215 266HR) more duration because Ford heads usually need some help on the exhaust side. The lift is also .533/.533 vs the stock HO cam ~.480/.480 with a 1.6 rocker.


I'm not doing a dyno pull any time soon but maybe if I have some extra cash after I finish some other things the engine will need (GT-40 style intake and 2.5" exhaust) I might. I'm guessing it should make some where between ~275-300 hp when all is said and done (I hope:D ). I do plan on running it at the track after I break it in though.

~$2,250. That included a used HO block. That's not bad for around here. The trick is to find a good machiene shop. It may cost a bit more but in this case you really do get what you pay for.
