I don’t know if this is even possible or not but it would be really cool if they could build the big blocks with dual bell housing patterns so that more readily available small block transmissions would bolt up to the big blocks
I never understood why the aftermarket didn’t make that revision to the Ford blocks. I’m running a C4 but my bell housing will fit power glide and turbo 400
@@jaypisme2343 Ford has done this before, on the 400 and 351 modified blocks. There's not a good reason to me anyway, that they don't do this at this point. I'd argue for both modular and SBF + BBF patterns. I personally run a C6 on my race car's BBF, but I'd like to have the option to run a built 4 speed on other cars that was more common.
Ford needs to fight sanctioning body's in the dirt series to let the Ford guys run the 347 Ford crate motor. They have a GM dirt late model series with no Fords allowed even though Ford has a comparable crate motor. Also Ford needs to build a iron head 347 motor to race with the GM 602 crate motors. Disgusting to see so many racing series with not one Ford powered car in it. Come on Ford you can do it. 🤔 Maybe the predigest sanctioning bodies should state only GM supporters allowed to watch and participate..
Not going to happen. It is what it is. When I was involved in dirt racing the Chevy mafia, got everything Ford or Mopar banned. It was done , supposedly too save on costs, the last move too ban Cleveland heads, (they were only produced 4 years, US production) they used every excuse that they could think of. I just said, "hell" with it.
Great news for people that love V8s and aren't all excited about batteries. A little weird though with the continuity of the branding... NIce to hear EFI offered as an option too. I'd like to have that 289 for my living room. 🙂 Good call on the DQ cones too... they are delish.
Why doesn't Ford get smart and offer a 4.125"x3.250" , 347 stroker? The small bore, big stroke has a gnarly rod angle and it shoves the wrist pin higher into the ring package.
4.125" bore? Then you just go 3.4" crank = 363 cid. 363 rod ratio is just fine at 1.59. Mahle makes a piston with rings that don't get into the piston pin....but that's not a big deal anyway. 347 "oil burner" reputation came from faulty, earlier design pistons and no oil ring supports for piston pin area.
Good news indeed! Love to see more and more Ford vehicles running the quarter mile. A new 460? Man that's amazing. I want the 572 installed in funny cars and top fuelers, the all-chrysler rule sucks. And yes, there's no expression cooler than "Ford Racing", "Ford Motorsport" or "Powered By Ford".
Nice build but your way off on the 347 it should easily make 400+HP on pump gas ⛽️ and still very Street able . We have N\A V6 engines making 300+ … last 347 i did was 500Hp 11:1

Catching this well after the fact....has tis come to pass? Their website shows the same 351 based strokers they've had forever. It's getting hard to find a 351, they all seem to be strokers. Nothing against a stroker, but they are more expensive and having options is nice.
Hopefully the piston bores will be longer in these new blocks or they will be a dud like the current blocks are. None of the serious engine builders like using them for this single reason.
You're right! Prices are insane!! I just finished a 363 SBF build....it took A YEAR to get some of the parts, luckily my pricing didn't change. The Dart block, AFR heads, Mahle pistons, Callies crank and rods have all gone up SUBSTANTIALLY in the past 12 months. Crazy money to build a SBF pushrod stroker engine now.
Ford should cast some more 302 and 351w blocks. All with roller lifter bosses and a little thicker cylinder walls so even with core shift they can all be eventually punched out to .060 over. Wrecking yards near me the blocks are really slim pickings. I should have snatched up a dozen of these blocks when they were plentiful in the scrap yards.
It's done in order to increase displacement. The bigger the bore, the more clearance the intake valve has and that equals better flow and the opportunity to run bigger valves. Thanks for the question.
Displacement is bore+stroke, and stroke is probably maxed out. I don't know how much more they can ore it out, but I'm guessing it can go another 0.030...
So normally a .030 overbore is just to true up worn cylinders. So that's giving the valves an actual .015" more clearance from the cylinder wall, that can't make much difference. If a cylinder could be bored a quarter or maybe even an eight inch would make a more noticable difference I would think. Yah know what I mean?
can you run the clear cover all the time? Also, where is the link? There is nothing on there web page of anything new. still, all the old stuff that has been over done.
