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

[FUNFER2]

Maricopa,....when we raced sprint cars, we were sponsored a great motor. The cost of a new motor was $35,000 to $50,000. We were lucky in having such wonderful sponsors, but always took great care of the engine and never hurt it in 9 years. In the first 5 years, we had a pooch motor. lol

Anyway, I can't afford a big dog motor in my Cobra.

Thank you Lance. I'll check out your site.

Lance, I really kind of hate the idea of not having a FE in my Cobra, either Ponds block and heads, or those from BBM, but I want high TQ mainly, but for the high numbers of performance and for the price, your 514/572 is a great option !

Looking at your dyno sheet, not only is the TQ & HP numbers at even the lower rpm's, but the fast even pulls, are up to 6100 rpm ! Amazing curves !

The only surprise with the 524, was the lower compression of 10:1 ?

With both cid's, what type of cam and numbers are they ?

I'm used to adjusting lash on the sprint car's solid roller and the flat tappet on my 428FE, so either is fine. (there's nothing short of a solid roller cam 360/410 sprint car engine sound, .......except for a top fuel motor) lol.......

How do you feel about solid rollers on the street, even with the isky lifters, valve train and oiling mods ?

Will they hold up on the street under so much idling ?

PS- (are you sure the dyno sheets graph of the curve,.......isn't really the space shuttle's) ? Hum.....
