Help me build a Shelby FE427

[RICK LAKE]

Jamo I see you found the master Joe B I was looking for him. D.S. (198) is get a new motor from him. I see you have good taste. He's one of the best from the early years. The T&D system you have to do head work and can't go back to the shaft system if needed? I want to see this 496 he is building. He said he was 15 motors behind right now.



need4spd You didn't put a cash cap on this build up. What rear ratio are you going with, racing ,cruising, 1/4 mile, or shiner? For a trans, G-Force is the one. 5spd only but 1200hp and 1200tork, clutch or clutchless. They are not cheap but you will not break to trans. It is not an over drive one so a 3.07 rear would be a good choise. I race my car and want it bullet proof in the drivetrain department. I also have a 6-spd richmond but the rating of hp and tork is only 450. I would not beat on this box, They have an improvment kit for the 600, G-force is the one that sells it. Cranks Velasco is an 4-12 week wait, L.A.E is 2-4 weeks. Same stroker crank they are 100 dollars apart in price. Rods, have you checked with Howard cams if you are using BBC rods, Same work as oliver,manley, cunningham's and crower, but they are 799.00 not 1200.00. They are good for 1000 hp. Talk to them. I think they are I beam and not H. but the wieght is very near the same. Good luck with the build up, The parts list is great but the machinist is what makes it all work. Rick Lake
