B2 Motorsports - Gary Bowman 445 SBF Build
Well, it's Gary's turn for a Club Cobra engine build page.
He's currently running an all-aluminum 427W from Ford Racing, with about 575hp. Putting that much horsepower through a 2400 lb car is just not enough for Gary....he wants more. Gary's build is going to consist of a Dart blocked Windsor, with a Callies Dragonslayer crank and a set of their H-beam rods. We're planning to go with CHI 3V 225cc heads on the top, along with one of their 3V 4150 style intake manifolds. Operating the valves will be a custom Comp Cams solid roller pushing on Isky Red Zone lifters. This is gonna be a bad mama-jama. I've never spelled mama-jama before, so if I spelled it wrong, please someone correct me. :) As parts and details trickle in, I will post info and pictures. As always, I don't like cookie-cutter builds and this one is gonna be a nice one. Stay tuned... |
Looking forward to it Brent...I suspect that I will need to act LESS excited looking at the pictures of the build than I did of my kids ultrasounds, Otherwise the boss may cut me off:) No worries, I'll keep a straight face!:D

Looking forward to hearing more on this one. |
A 108 solid roller between .680" and .710". T&D or Jesel valve train. Throw out that intake and get a 4500-a 1080 will work. 13:1 and if you don't make 715 or 718 you're a mary....:):cool:

Aluminum or cast iron block? Any other trick bottom end goodies? Distributor or crank trigger?
I enjoy watching these builds. Details are appreciated here. Bob |
Brent,
I remember Gary's thread about wanting a much faster setup. How much more power do you expect this setup to make? Are you thinking of doing any forced induction or nitrous to really move the needle? Justin |
I could make 800 if he'd let me..... :LOL:
But... He wants something that will be half-way streetable, run on 92-93 octane, and doesn't require a ton of maintenance. We talked about a big block, but having to change motor mounts, bellhousings, flywheels, etc. just didn't really make sense. This should be a 650hp engine and if he wants more, he'll have to let me spin it up a little higher. :) I can't give away all the secrets, but the block is a Dart SHP block, no crank triggers or vacuum pumps needed.... |

Absolutely.
On the "low maintenance side" it would take a blower or turbo. On the "high maintenance" side, it would take some compression and some cam. |

Uh-huh....
Maybe I can talk Gary into letting me turn up the wick a little bit.... |
Gary and I are doing a little reconsidering...
His hood clearance is lacking at this point and with the CHI 3V 9.500" intake sitting up at 7.500" tall, we may have to look at a different top end. BDR says that they can fit a Windsor head with a Super Victor intake, so Gary and I are looking at some TFS TW-R heads or some High Ports. |
Why aren't you using his aluminum 427 block??????????
|
We discussed it. He wants to keep a complete engine for another project.
|
Unless someone wants a nice deal on an almost new (750 miles) Ford Racing 575 HP all alum Hydro roller with 11 months of warranty left:D Drop it in and go!!! Chances are it will sit around for a long time before I start the next project so I wouldn't mind selling it.
|
Gary, define "nice deal.":D
