Ford guys..........E7 heads question

Geddes · 12-31-2008, 10:11 AM

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
