Moneymaker Administrator Posts: 19966 From: Lyons, IL, USA Registered: May 99	posted 10-17-2001 04:53 PM If there is enough interest I can do a a small block 289-302 one horsepower per cubic inch build up on this thread. I can put together a proven piece for $1500 or less so that any member can build their own. You must of course be able to do your own assmebly and R&R labor. It ain't that hard gang. ------------------ Alex Denysenko Co-Administrator and Moderator NHRA/IHRA/SRA member NHRA and IHRA SS/LA National Record Holder '00 & '01 Fleet of FoMoCo products Moneymaker Bio US Class Nationals link IP: Logged
rockafellz Gearhead Posts: 1329 From: San Lorenzo, CA, USA Registered: Aug 2001	posted 10-17-2001 05:24 PM Hello Alex, How about a 239-302 / 350-370HP buildup for $1500-$2300? Is it possible? If so, i'm listening. I've seen a parts list for a 351w/400hp buildup but I kinda like the 302 a little better. I WANT TO LEARN THE ENGINE IN AND OUT SO I'M GAME!!!! Regards, Erik IP: Logged
65driver Gearhead Posts: 101 From: Syracuse, NY, USA Registered: Feb 2000	posted 10-17-2001 06:34 PM I would like to see a buildup, but I'd rather see 350 hp for between 2200-2700, if it can be done, and be a real street driven car. Or 1 horse per cube, and options to bring to 350hp at what additional cost....That would be great!! IP: Logged

Moneymaker Administrator Posts: 19966 From: Lyons, IL, USA Registered: May 99	posted 10-18-2001 08:23 PM OK, let's try this one more time. After researching several machine shops in my area I will assume that these prices can be duplicated or bettered by most of the USA membership. This build up is based on a garden variety 65-78 289 or 302 Windsor good condition donor engine core. You will need to completly dissassemble the engine. 1) Degrease and cam bearing bare block with cam bearings $95. 2) Bore .060 and finish hone $160. 3) micro polish carnk shaft $30. 4) Check connecting rods and fit piston pins $40. 5) Valve job $130 6) Mill heads .030 $60. 7) machine heads for screw in studs $80. Total spent at machine shop $595. Parts: I opted for a PAW type of inexpensive rebuilder quality engine kit consisting of rings, bearings, oil pump, timing chain and gears, and a gasket set. These generally contain decent quality brands such as Michigan, Muskegeon, Detroit Gasket, Melling, etc. I priced mine through my normal wholesale supplier at $155. You may pay a bit more. 2) a set of Badger .060 11 to 1 pop up cast pistons from us at $150. 3) Comp 270S cam, solid lifters, and valve springs $250. 4) Steel shim head gaskets $40. 5) Edelbrock Air gap or similar intake $220. 6) A set of screw in rocker arm studs $20. 7) a set of Headman 4 tube headers $90. total of $925 in parts. Grand total of $1520 spent to get 300 horsepower at the flywheel. ------------------ Alex Denysenko Co-Administrator and Moderator NHRA/IHRA/SRA member NHRA and IHRA SS/LA National Record Holder '00 & '01 Fleet of FoMoCo products Moneymaker Bio US Class Nationals link IP: Logged
Moneymaker Administrator Posts: 19966 From: Lyons, IL, USA Registered: May 99	posted 10-18-2001 08:31 PM Continuing on another post just in case my AOL buddies strike out at me again. If you already have headers you are money ahead. The same with an intake. 351W heads woould be a bonus and add about 20 to 25 HP stock. You will need a GOOD 600-750 max CFM carb. A 4100 series 1.12 Autolite is nice or a 700 CFM DP Holley is better. Anything in between is OK also except a Jimmy Carter POS carburrito. If that's all ya got then so be it! What ever electronic ignition you havbe (like a FoMoCo Duraspark) is fine. This engine will make 300 HP@6000 RPM at the flywheel on a dyno guranteed if assembled correctly. Does it sound familiar? Well it should as it is basically a higher compression 289 HIPO. Add a bigger carb, tube headers, an efficiant intake, more compression, more cam and you have got 25 to 30 more HP than the 271 easy. The best part is that it will last and take lots of abuse. These babies are very forgiving if the time is taken to assemble them right. Enjoy! ------------------ Alex Denysenko Co-Administrator and Moderator NHRA/IHRA/SRA member NHRA and IHRA SS/LA National Record Holder '00 & '01 Fleet of FoMoCo products Moneymaker Bio US Class Nationals link IP: Logged

Moneymaker Administrator Posts: 19966 From: Lyons, IL, USA Registered: May 99	posted 10-19-2001 12:35 AM You can go .030 if you like. The .060 over bore being too thin is an old wives tale. We go .070 over on 289/302 blocks all of the time on our race motors. The pistons have valve reliefs. There is no economical similar piston for a 351 unfortunatly. You will need a steady diet of 93 octane with careful timing adjustments. The 270S cam will allow the high compression. Loosing 2 full points will cost you 25 horsepower. ------------------ Alex Denysenko Co-Administrator and Moderator NHRA/IHRA/SRA member NHRA and IHRA SS/LA National Record Holder '00 & '01 Fleet of FoMoCo products Moneymaker Bio US Class Nationals link IP: Logged

Moneymaker Administrator Posts: 19966 From: Lyons, IL, USA Registered: May 99	posted 10-19-2001 11:10 AM I always adjust the timing on street cars by the trial and test method. Keep advancing it until it pings then begin to retard it until it stops. It should still handle 32-34 degrees total on 91 octane. The SS gaskets are not mandatory. They are worth another 1/2 point in compression. They hold up very well and are cost effective. I don't like Fel-Pro head gaskets on SBF's and the Victors are $65 a piece. ------------------ Alex Denysenko Co-Administrator and Moderator NHRA/IHRA/SRA member NHRA and IHRA SS/LA National Record Holder '00 & '01 Fleet of FoMoCo products Moneymaker Bio US Class Nationals link IP: Logged

sprcoop Gearhead Posts: 225 From: Tucson, AZ usa Registered: Jan 2000	posted 10-20-2001 02:54 PM I was checking the specs on the 270S and noticed the next step up is the 282S. It appeared to have almost 1/3" more lift and obviously more duration. The suggested components to go with it (springs, rockers etc.) were the same as the 270S. Would it not be wise to step up to the 282S due to possible mechanical failures or would it be just a rougher idle, different power band and more horsepower? Also, I'm seriously looking at tbe roller rockers suggested by Comp Cams to go with the 270S or 282S. They are only about $147.00 at Summit.

sigtauenus Gearhead Posts: 1847 From: Beaufort, SC Registered: Jun 2000	posted 10-20-2001 08:03 PM Alex, how do you fit in the variable of combustion chamber size? ie, 289, 302, 302-4v heads, and 351 heads all have different combustion chamber volumes that will affect the compression. What heads (and/or combustion chamber volume) are those 11 to 1 Badger pistons designed to be used for? Or, better phrased, what heads will give you 11 to 1 compression with those pistons. I assume the formula posted above is based on 11:1 compression for the HP, which is why I ask. [This message has been edited by sigtauenus (edited 04-01-2002).] IP: Logged
Moneymaker Administrator Posts: 19966 From: Lyons, IL, USA Registered: May 99	posted 10-20-2001 11:31 PM I don't actually. The 48 cc heads with SS gaskets will garner closer to 12 to 1 and the 53's will be closer to 11 to 1 and the later model ones will be around 10 to 1. Remember that we are cutting the heads also. Smaller chamber heads will get closer to 320 HP. Regardless, the motors will make AT LEAST 300 HP. The 282 cam is a bit TOO radical for a daily driver as far as I'm concerned. Roller rockers are nice, but they just didn't fit into my buget. The sky is the limit as far as options are concerned. This is a tried and true combo with GUARANTEED results.

If you find the "K" kit number you can search the Summit site and find the price. Their code for Comp Cams is "CCA", so when you find the Comp number just put CCA in front of it and it will pull up the price. Example Comp # K-31-246-3 you would put in CCA-31-246-3. ------------------ Ronnie 69 mach1 351W-4V 70 Torino GT 351C-4v with a "shaker" Mustangs and More Member #23 IP: Logged

I can see the difference in power to the wheels between the manual and auto tranny. However, the 20% 30% formula would suggest the more horsepower you have the more gets lost. Is that true? On a manual tranny it's 40hp for a 200hp motor but 80hp on a 400hp motor.

Moneymaker Administrator Posts: 19966 From: Lyons, IL, USA Registered: May 99	posted 10-28-2001 11:17 AM I'll go and look at the SUmmit 351W kit and comment. As far as RW HP loss, depending on the efficiance or the drivetrain there will be more loss if the is more horsepower. It's physics. ------------------ Alex Denysenko Co-Administrator and Moderator NHRA/IHRA/SRA member NHRA and IHRA SS/LA National Record Holder '00 & '01 Fleet of FoMoCo products Moneymaker Bio US Class Nationals link IP: Logged

Alex, how do you assemble and engine wrong? I know it sounds like a dumb question, but what are common mistakes people make that prompted the quoted statment? IP: Logged
V8 Thumper Gearhead Posts: 3654 From: Orange, Ca. United States of America Registered: Dec 2001	posted 08-17-2002 06:53 PM Ford rated the 'A' code 289 at 215 hp I believe, GT dual exhaust is said to be worth another 10 hp. I'd guess that's flywheel hp, subtract 20% for driveline, and you're looking at 180 at the tires IP: Logged
