My KC 482 is home!

Well, at long last here it is.
My wife is not happy I bought a $5000 engine. |
Seems like a pretty fair price for your engine block to me ;)
|
Did you tell her about the rest of the price? :D
|
I had those parts long before we were married.
|
My wife and family are still laughing while in total disbelief, at hearing what I paid for my Kirkham. "A new car that's delivered without an engine and transmission and you paid how much?"
|
I will take 5 motors at that price
Hi-tech cobra If that motor is 5 grand, I will take 5.:eek:What did you do knock KCR out??:confused:Go luck squeezing that thing into the car.:) If it fits too tight , just add it to the other 5,:rolleyes: I will come and get them on FRIDAY;):LOL::LOL::LOL::D:D Rick L.

5 grand. It was tough getting that approved through accounting, but in the end she allowed me to splurge. :p
|
New pics in my gallery. :)

Send it back, the valve covers are on backwards!
|
I figured that out trying to get them to fit (which they don't). They are Blue Thunder pent roof style valve covers from DCS.
They are nice pieces but they just don't fit. If I start grinding on them, Dennis will say 'no return'. So what's a guy to do, grind away or return them for some stamped steel pent roofs? |
If you really like them, I say start grinding.

Is it safe to assume that KiethCraft FE-482 hp/torque numbers are representative of those that other manufacturers may produce? Bryon |
What heads and cam do you have in the KCR 482"?
|
Nice heads, I got to dig a little for cam info.
|
Cam is a 242/248 duration at .050"
112 lobe separation with 4 degrees advance ground into the camshaft |

Same cam as in mine.. dave |
Hydraulic roller, I'm guessing? Lift? I ask only because I'm having Keith supply my heads and cam, and he's doing the Performer RPM over too. I'm getting a solid roller from him, same heads as yours. I'm having the short block assembled locally by a guy who's sort of an FE legend around here.
(By the way you should see the toy store this guy has, more NOS Cammers, new Cammer heads still in their original Holman / Moody boxes, Latham blowers, Tunnel ports, hi risers, tunnel port 302's, Boss 351's and 302's, 1970's and 80's 351C pro stock stuff, Boss 9's and ultra rare Ford racing parts that you'd ever believe - I walk around in a daze every time I go there. It's really unbelievable, I've never seen anything like it.) Anyway, sorry for the drift. I have to look up the cam specs Keith is sending. With the 482" 11:1 shortblock, Keith is guessing 625 HP based on past builds he has done that are the same as mine. My local guy doesn't have a dyno so it's all I have to go by. I was just wondering what you had in yours, sounds like a great engine. Congrats and enjoy it. |
767Jockey,
Thanks, I don't have the cam specs yet. Undy, can you post them? |
Yes, hydraulic roller.
