Ford guys..........E7 heads question
Just curious.
How quick have you seen a 302 with (stock,untouched) E7 heads go? |
Re: Ford guys..........E7 heads question
Hi Larry!!! right now the stock record in L/S is with a mustang not a cobra 11.73 @ 111
|
Re: Ford guys..........E7 heads question
Larry I read you PM but for some reason it would not let me reply. That's an impressive time with that combo for sure. See ya soon.

Re: Ford guys..........E7 heads question
I think there are a few cars out there running K/S that have gone a little quicker than that. I think Richard Zink from eastern ohio.
|
Re: Ford guys..........E7 heads question
he has the K record at 11.49 and the L record at 11.73
Gary Summers from KY has the M/S record at 12.00 |
Re: Ford guys..........E7 heads question
Larry.... I am still impressed by those numbers your car ran with the E7 combo! Those NMRA Factory Stock guys, (Tommy Godfrey) is on the verge of 10's with E7's.
PS: I got my clutch issues sorted.. Finally!!!. |

Re: Ford guys..........E7 heads question
My car has only been 12.19 @108 with a FAT tune, and nothing dialed in. When I say nothing, I mean tune, clutch, shift points, shocks... I have been fighting clutch issues for some time now. Oh... and I am running on 7+ year old slicks. 11's are a few weeks away! Factory Stock guys have a different set of rules to follow. They are not as limited when it comes to internals as we are weight wise, and they have a lot more options than we do. It has been a few years since I have looked at the NMRA rulesbook though. Rich Groh at RGR does Godfrey's motors.

Re: Ford guys..........E7 heads question
I've seen inside of most of the factory Stock engines nothing close to a stock eliminator combo all light weight rotating assemblies.

Re: Ford guys..........E7 heads question
Please define untouched
|
Re: Ford guys..........E7 heads question
Larry's heads... (I beleive) were untouched as in straight out of a stock car... with 150,000 miles!!! I am sure he will chime in, and clarify this, but "untouched", or fresh, either way, very impressive!!!.

Re: Ford guys..........E7 heads question
Years ago I ran 11.80s with the H.O. combo, but John Presing has been 11.50s at 113 mph using E7 heads. It's hard to compare NHRA and NMRA cars because NHRA cars get slicks and a better drivetrain, but NMRA cars (I believe) can use flat-top pistons and they can run with a much smaller combustion chamber. Either way it's impressive to run 11s with those heads, especially when there are lots of cars with aftermarket aluminum heads that don't run as well.

Re: Ford guys..........E7 heads question
Guys,
Thanks for the input here. I had no intention to compare my thrown together engine, just curious....for fun. specs: 150,000 miles from an 89 GT (sitting under the bench since '99) PB Blaster used as the rings were freed, to turn it over. Took a few days of soaking. E7 heads with plenty of carbon B-303 camshaft (retarded 4 degrees) Crane valve spring kit Cobra 1.7 roller rockers Edelbrock Performer RPM 575 cfm Demon Mac 1 5/8" headers air pan sealed to hood McLeod diaphragm clutch GF 5R Transmission, clutchless 3.19 low gear 4.86 gear in the 9 inch launched @ 6200 shifted @ 6000 crossing at 6200 (tongue hanging out) 3025 pounds 28X10.5 Tires 11.69 and 112 mph. This was a hurry up deal. We thought it would run 12.30 or so. Thanks, Larry Geddes |
Re: Ford guys..........E7 heads question

Re: Ford guys..........E7 heads question
Freddie,
4.86 gear 6200 rpm in the lights |
Re: Ford guys..........E7 heads question
Larry: thanks... are you still running the Kuntz motor? Car looked great in Chicago.
|
Re: Ford guys..........E7 heads question
Larry, have you tried the cam at different centerlines?
4 deg retarded seems alot to me for only running 6200 RPM. Do you use all 5 gears? Is 5th gear 1.1 ? |
