Legendary Motorsports - Recomendation

I have dealt with the owner, Trac Stephenson, on a business level for almost ten years now, and he has always been an upstanding individual. He has impressed me as genuine and sincere, and good for...

Bill,
How serious of an engine are you looking to have? If you want a top-of-the-line, high quality FE, we might have something you would like. Originally designated for a CSX4000, a last minute...

Alum heads & Intake

Sizzler and Ted, thanks for the plug guys. Most kind of you.

Scott, Just as Sizzler suggests, best bet is to buy the Edelbrocks bare and have a pro set them up-good quality components and...

460 "Cobra" Valve covers-Info

Mike,
If you are running a girdle, you must use a spacer. The covers actually have a hard time clearing roller rockers with high lift cams. I have a customer's 530 stroker w/roller rockers sitting...

Numbers only a reference

Interesting post Steve. For a lot of guys, the numbers are all important-whether it's dyno numbers or flow numbers. For them, it's always the size that matters, not necessarily the actual...

Ford 351W Main Spacers, Girdles

Dwight,
We have used these on some of our customers circle track engines and they have worked very well in higher rpm usage. The Ford/Federal Mogul spacer inserts are only rough sized and do need to...

Linkage

Tony,
Your linkage will be fine as Carl also sells the correct linkage for the 460's. There actually is a very minor difference in the FE and 460 linkages, due to the carb base height differences...

Valve Cover to Rocker clearance

Blain,
I don't have positive news for you. The 530 we are building is using the Edelbrock heads which have stock valve cover rails. We were using the Crane Gold race roller rockers and at full lift...

2-4V Intake

Tom,
The Blue Thunder 2-4V intake for the 460 is a great piece. It makes good all around power, and with proper carbs, can run extremely smoothly. The key is the correct carb set-up as dual four...

460 Valve covers

Blaine,
A 460 valve cover shorter than 4" is a tall order. We stock all the Blue Thunder valve covers, so I grabbed a ruler and they are 3.5" at the top of the ribs already, without the spacer. I...

Oval Filters

BB,
Have you checked all your clearances for the tall filter? The tall filter is 3", but will often cause clearance issues with the hood or firewall. The short filter is 1.75", and looks too short...

Saw this thread and had to butt-in.

How much is your engine worth? Do you know how much it will cost to repair a spun rod bearing, or broken rod? All the time and heartache?
