Keith Craft 482 8 Stack EFI Engine Build
This is a really nice Engine build we just finished. This engine was based on a Pond Aluminum Block, 4340 Steel Crankshaft, H-Beam Rods and Diamond Pistons to start the short block. We topped it off With a set of are Famous CNC Ported Stage II heads, Matching Hydraulic Roller Camshaft and T&D rockers. The Intake we used is the New Borla 8 Stack EFI intake that we port matched to the heads. And a Fast Computer System. This engine made 612hp and 576 on torque. This should be a hand full in a 2000lbs Cobra. If you have any questions

All my life I wondered why did the FE design have part of the head attached to the intake manifold, by all (most) other engine standards. This intake explains it all too me. That engine looks perfect!

Ford probably wanted to balance out the weight between the cylinder heads and the intake. Either that, or they were conspiring to make back surgeons rich off all those foolhardy enough to lean over a fender and attempt lifting a cast iron FE intake by without a hoist.

Since Keith has backed out of the business it's run by Lance and Tony now from what I understand. Not sure that he drops in on this forum anymore. You may have to call up Craft Performance Engines and ask them, but I'm sure they have a dyno report on it since Keith reported HP & T on it and they have an in-house dyno facility.

Dyno Sheets
If you go back to the top of this thread, there is a photobucket link that shows the dyno sheets.

Thanks. I was on my tablet last night and I could not zoom in,... to see the sheet, now that I'm on my desk top, I can.
That motor with the injection is what I'm shooting for, if I can afford it anyway. Need to sell some toys and car parts to build another engine.
Again, thanks !

I don't know what happened last night, but it works for me now too. 
Wish it showed the rpm's lower than 4,500.
