Lykins Motorsports 496FE Build...

Rick, depending on the crank and how it's made, you could go to a Honda journal or even a small journal SBC rod (2.000"). Those two would require completely custom rods though, and then you get into some good money.

I have part numbers for custom 5/16" Ferrea valves, in Ford FE overall length and stem length, .330" tip, 2.250"/1.750" if you need them.

I think we are on different sides of the sandbox on oil pressure too....

Bylkins Brent are these valves 1 piece or welded? Am interested.

As far as sand box, it's was an old John deere mud tractor tire. The sand is all gone and flowers are growing.

As for the oil pressure thing, I listen to the OLD masters from the 60's who ran these motors at 8,000 rpms and didnot break them. Sorry I'm old school and run every motor in my stable with HVHP oil pumps and have oil modes done for return and getting to the right spots. 15 years and still running the same HVHP melling pump with 100 psi spring and no wear on distributor or billet shaft. also have a small trick for this too. About .010" hole. Going to work, later. Rick

You men drag race engines, NASCAR certainly never ran that high.
