I've seen a few replicas with Boss 9 engines in them.
If you're looking for an eye-catcher, that's probably a good way to go.
If you're looking for sheer horsepower, there are BBF heads that go WAY beyond the performance of those heads.
These are Profiler heads and flow almost 560 cfm.

Is that a vacuum gauge on the valve cover and is it for telling you when the rings are seated?

It is a vacuum gauge, but it's for showing how much vacuum the dry sump pump is pulling on the crankcase.
That is a 556 cubic inch BBF pulling truck engine. 15:1 compression, 8000-8500 rpm, sheet metal intake, almost an inch lift on the camshaft, full dry sump oiling, with (2) 1450cfm Dominator carburetors.

Brent,
That is a monster engine. With 15:1 compression what does it run on? The power and torque figures must be very impressive.

118 octane.
Dyno'ing the first week of May, but it should make 1200 hp, naturally aspirated.

That is damn impressive! I would sell my first born for 425 cfm, too bad nobody makes a set of decent cylinder heads and manifold for an FE (that will fit under a Cobra hood). |

Brent that is an awesome build congrats! Can’t thank you enough for the cam selection and assistance getting my 427w back on the street. I’m surprised I’m already wanting more power but I guess I’m a gear head at heart. When I can talk Perry into doing a big block swap I hope your ready to build a motor!
I’m not very educated on the BBF head options.....most builds I’ve come across seem to use ported SCJ’s, AFR, trickflow, P51’s...... then came across your 529ci build using the boss nine heads. |
