Does Ford Still Produce The 515ci 625HP Crate Engine ?

[FUNFER2]

If a guy wanted 700HP, for the money, you can't beat the 514.

Only from one builder....and one example of many quality builders.

(+/-)

514 for $12,700 (700HP)

Shelby 527 for $26,000 (625 HP)

482/496 FE Shelby for $23,600 (600HP)

I currently have a 514 in my Superformance that puts out over 600hp.

Scott,

Is the 514 the only engine you've had in your Cobra ?

What do you like and don't like about it ?

Anything you would change ?

Currious against my 428, what's you fuel milage ?

What's your specs ? (If different from your link)

Why did you select the 514 over other engines ?

Any phoho's ?

I completely understand on the FE they are definitely but the 460 based engine is great power for the money. Just keep in mind from a traction standpoint that it will make killer torque as well as drop the rear percentage of the car, definitely no issue blowing the tires loose. The 514ci is built using a stock 460 block (4.440" Bore x 4.140" Stroke). The 572ci engine uses the Ford Motorsport A460 Block (4.500" Bore x 4.500" Stroke). We do not use a cookie cutter camshaft on our engines. Will get all the car specs, your plans for drivability, idle characteristics, etc. As you know the actual specs for the 572 will be different than the 514. We usually stay around 10:1 with the 460 engine that are planning to run pump fuel. The larger the bore size the more the engine will try to detonate. If you are looking for a ridiculous kick in the pants and do not mind really getting up on the wheel and driving, either of these engines would be killer.

This comparison between hydraulic and solid rollers was essentially even, especially when you consider the solid roller had more lift. Dyno Shootout: Solid Roller Vs. Hydraulic Roller - StangTV

Personally I'd go hydraulic roller for street use, more due to idling and low RPM driving than maintenance issues.
