FE ONLY OR 514ci. CRATE IN YOUR,....COBRA ?

Nope. 331 was the smallest. However, this is a bored 352 block, .060" over standard.

$5280 for an assembled short block. Would include the machined block, a billet steel camshaft of your choice (hydraulic roller, solid roller), degreed by me with a Cloyes billet timing set, RPM 4.375" forged crank, internally balanced, with a custom set of Racetec forged pistons and a set of Scat H-beam connecting rods. Mahle piston rings, Federal Mogul main/rod bearings, Durabond cam bearings. Block painted your color choice.

Is that with a 390 or 428 crank ?

To increase HP & TQ, what if it ran on E85, so we could have higher compression ?

Of course that's with every engine.

It's amazing that it is a 60 over and 4.375 bore. That's huge. lol

So, with a proper sized hydro or mechanical cam, intake and good heads on E85, what's your guess on HP/TQ, torque curve & RPM range ?

Here's one example from Brent's site ( Lykins Motorsports, LLC ): 445 ci FE, 525 hp @ 5500, 588 lb-ft @ 4200. 4.080 x 4.250, Scat 9000 series crankshaft, Scat I-beam rods, Racetec pistons, 10:1. Comp Cams custom hydraulic roller cam, 235/241 @ .050", 110 LSA, .610" lift. Survival Motorsports as cast cylinder heads, Performer RPM intake, Quick Fuel HR-750 carb. Stuska dyno.

Above is 4.080" bore vs 4.060", and stroke is 4.250" vs 4.375". So, slightly smaller bore and 1/8" longer stroke, making it slightly bigger at 453 CID vs 445 CID. All things being equal, it should produce similar HP and torque.

Camshaft selection will be important, and I'd recommend taking Brent's advice on that.

Is there a dyno sheet on this one ?

That 445 & 453 both probably feel pretty much like mine. My 447 has a little shorter stroke, slightly fatter bore, a few tenths more compression and a few degrees more duration, but a little less lift, and little more lobe separation. Unless he sent something to you that was broken, which ain't gonna happen, you would be quite pleased with either. I think it's now officially time for you to write a check to somebody, otherwise they're likely to assess you as being more of an irritant than your business is worth.

" I think it's now officially time for you to write a check to somebody, otherwise they're likely to assess you as being more of an irritant than your business is worth."

I really hope you're kidding, otherwise there's no need for you to respond further. Look, I don't have the money that you must have to purchase any engine, so I can't and wont, just pick any motor that's for sale or have a engine builder custom build me a engine, like you do.

I research everything, and there's nothing wrong with that. If you or anyone disagrees with my methods or learning, what's out there and best bang for my buck, then you don't have to follow me along with this discussion and engine build/buy. Unless I'm wrong, isn't this a discussion forum to ask other members their thoughts and ideas pertaining to our Cobra's, engines, drive train etc,...??? That's exactly ,....what I'm doing. If you or engine builders don't like me or anyone else asking in depth, with many questions, regarding engine choices, and you don't like it, then tough,...I get off my back.

If you don't have anything positive to add to this thread, then stay off.

I really hope,...that newcomers don't see your negativity here and decide to go elsewhere. Except for a few members like you, Club Cobra is a wonderful website !

Go to a different "discussion" forum and complain all you want, just not here on Club Cobra.

I'll 2nd that motion. All in favor say "Aye."

And take that scruffy dog with you.

They all have flat torque curves and the HP is generally linear, preferably in an upward direction.

That's great bud. For mainly street driven cars, with some added track fun once in a while, I really like the low torque curves to be down low.

FUNFER2, this might be a cost effective solution at least for now. Don't know anything about the motor other than what is posted in the classified ad.
