Yup, looks like somebody installed non-hardened pushrods and they're all getting chewed up.

If it were my engine, I'd pull the intake and visually inspect the lifter and the cam lobe. It should...

Ya know, I hear a lot of talk about the need for a lightweight engine or the BBF being too heavy, but these cars are tailhappy to begin with. One of my customers reported back a 50/50 balance with...

Haven't tested any other intakes on this particular combination, but the results of a Victor or a Stealth, etc. are fairly predictable. The Torker II is really pretty darn good manifold considering...

Wow, this thread is sure a blast from the past. Looks like I started it way back in 2006.

Long story short, I did put together a crate engine specifically designed for the Cobra cars. Ended up...

Type of oil always matters for flat tappet cams. I suggest using Valvoline VR-1 because it's easy to find and has all the additives you need. Brad Penn and Joe Gibbs offer flat tappet oils too, but...

When using 75cc heads:

9.25:1 will require a -20cc dish

10.25:1 will require a -10cc dish

Flat tops will give you approx 10.7:1 if left in the hole a bit, which can work with alum heads and...

A nice 4-speed toploader seems like the obvious choice. With all the torque of a BBF you don't need a five or six speed trans, unless boiling the tires every time you hit the gas in 1st and 2nd is...

68 was the first year for the 460. Available in Lincolns only. Everything else was 429. I actually used to own a 68 with suicide doors and a 460. What a great car that was!

Glad to hear you haven't had any problems Tom. Hope you plan to check the valve spring pressures regularly and change them out when needed over the life of the engine if you aren't already.

There's really no performance advantage to a hyd roller and as long as you use the proper oil with the flat tappet it'll actually be more durable than a roller. If you want something with more lope...

You're right to just cut the bypass hose and replace it. You can't really replace it without removing the intake or waterpump, so you might as well spend the $.50 on hose so you don't have to deal...
