I will make an update video this week on the whole set up. Has a full 3” out the back with mufflers but didn’t have them hooked up for these runs. I also added and air to water intercooler and co2 for boost control.

I’m running a powerglide. I don’t know much about manuals but for an auto th400 or powerglide. I’ve been very fast with a c4 they just don’t last long at high power.

Thanks for info . Can you provide some details on set up , for example if your using an adaptor to the glide . What kind of convertor are you using ?Any valve body mods ? @@Wheelsupracing

Ended up at 26 psi to run a 9.44 at 152. Block held on fine. Cap walk took out the main bearings.

I would assume you are referring to the phone vibrating on the glass?

@@Wheelsupracing I thought it was the seat belt chime.

May have been 🤫 haha.

🤣

Stock bottom end I’m referring to exactly that. It’s a completely stock bottom end down to the bolts. Went 9.44 154. Tuned by me. Ended up taking the main bearings out because of rpm and cap walk.

Her only gripe is the power steering.

Mines the on3 bracket but I have a 3g alt that’s smaller than the factory alt in size and I still had to pull it very very tight to the water neck to get it to clear. Then I had to get a small belt that I had to roll on by bumping the motor over so I didn’t have to tighten the alternator very much.

I’m also running a 3g but I’m running the v belt accessories so need to be able to tension a fair amount. I guess we’ll see how it goes lol.

@@outdoorchristianboy definitely took some figuring out.

Thank you!!! Me too and they didn’t cost and arm and a leg. Teamz for the win. Nothing but good to say about them. Everything I have gotten from them has fit perfectly.

It’s amazing how much different it feels when you aren’t the one controlling it.

It’s in the car and running. I thought I uploaded this video but didn’t.

I was turning the SBE to 7200 rpm. This is the 393 and only plan on turning it to 6800 ish.

@@Wheelsupracing cool I was turning my sbe 351w to 6600 so far

@@brawler3475.0 I honestly wouldn’t go above 6800-7000. And even at that rpm I wouldn’t let is sit there very long. 3” main bearings get a lot surface speed at that rpm and makes it hard for the oil to do its job.

@@Wheelsupracing ya I was thinking about changing my rear gears to 355 ..410 seems like to much under boost

@@brawler3475.0 I run a 3.27 rear gear.

Thank you!!!!! It’s a work in progress but it’s running and driving really good.

Yes it was a completely stock bottom end. Down to the bolts. It was pulled from a 95 f150. I put my HV oil pump,oil pan, my Chinese heads and intake. I also put my custom cam in it and my isky short travel lifters. The only thing I would have done differently is kept the rpm limited to 6800 ish. I was turning it to 7200 at the shift and it ate the bearings out of it.

I did melt a piston due to some trash getting into an injector. That video is on here somewhere and you can see it’s a stock piston.

@@Wheelsupracing : i’m a lot older than you I’ve been into Fords since the late 1970s. That’s really amazing. I’m in Vancouver Canada. It takes smarts and mechanical intuition to do what you did. Great work. In my opinion Bang for the buck if you’re on a budget, you can’t beat Gord in terms of making cheap horsepower. I currently have European Fords I have two Ford escort Cosworth, 1992 and 1995, the same car that Ken Block had. I’m selling them and shifting over to 2017 or 2018 Ford focus RS with the engine remapped to about 425 hp.

@@Wheelsupracing do you remember the title of the video regarding your engine?

@@surreallife777 sounds like a lot of fun for sure. People have been faster than me but with cars that don’t weigh as much as mine.

Stock bottom end 351w, custom hydraulic roller cam, pro comp 190cc heads. Currently completely pulled down and having block work done to go back to a 393. Also got some afr 220 renegades.

I’m not sure I ever said it hadn’t been done. I had never done it. There’s been SBE 351w in the mid to high 8s. In stripped down cars.

Heck ya. That’s awesome. I believe I could have taken .5 second off my time with a better converter. I also believe my heads have had issues for quite some time. Found some stretched valve stems when I pulled it apart this winter. I had 7 exhaust valves that were leaking badly and that’s a lot of HP left on the table.

Mine went 5.94 with a 1.54 60’ and a 3.27 rear gear 28” tire cause mines geared for the 1/4. That was on 20 ish psi. Converter was very tight and didn’t flash when I left the line. I rode the converter all the way down the track so the car was sluggish. Now it has a freakshow custom converter and a 393 will be going back into it. Should be a whole new animal.

Nice. I've been a 5.39 @129 1.19 60' on a 275/50/15 mtDR. I hit mine with 425. I can drive 55 fine but after nah, lol. But bet I'll drive it a long way @55 if I need too! I'm about to just give in and take the gear out and turbocharge, so I can get much better street but I'll miss the sound and feel!

They couldn’t have been too high because the motor had stock cast pistons in it. Nonetheless I am very lucky and very glad I pulled the heads apart.

It sure did. Between having alternator issues and some large boost leaks. Plus the Holley rev limiter was doing some funky stuff.

No it’s still at the machine shop. That was the last drive before the motor came out.

@Wheelsupracing hope to see you get it back soon. Oh Joshua said he would race you with his Plaid. Lol It's fast but I don't think he's got the brass to drive like you do.

Haha. When it goes back together it should run mid 8s for sure.

😂

A Tesla plaid yes. Any old Tesla no.

It has a freakshow converter in it now. Just haven’t had it back to the track.

🤣😂

lmao 😭

Custom spec cam billet core from Ed Curtis.

Hydraulic roller.

Me too. If I wouldn’t have checked them they would have destroyed the 393.

Figured out how to turn stabilization on too so the shakiness should stop also.

Speed master heads with better valves and springs.

They are 190cc

What cam?

@@Wheelsupracing no the 2 step module

@@kaidencranefield2990 I run a Holley terminator x max.

Completely stock and I shift between 6800-7000. Run a 7 quart pan with 8 quarts.

@@Wheelsupracing with that kinda rpm you need 0.003 oil clearance on the rods and mains that's probably why your burning up bearings

@@brawler3475.0 oh ya for sure. Plus high mileage motor that I never touched the bearings on. Bangs were probably already worn out then hit them with 800 hp and higher RPM. They just weren’t happy.

@@Wheelsupracing ya I kinda did the same thing but I checked the bearing clearances on the used bearings so there's still alive 630 at the will wheel but I also shift at 6400 ...good luck with your program

@@brawler3475.0 I think I’m gonna use this as the opportunity to put the 393 back in it just have to do some crank work and block Work.

That’s what I’m thinking if I had to guess I’m probably sucking the oil pan dry. I have to get a new oil pressure, sending unit, gonna be keeping a close eye on data logs and oil pressure.

It’s the one that came with it. I cleaned the dash off really well with alcohol and used 2 sided tape to stick it.

Sbe 351, f303 cam, flotek thumper 185s, ported tfs intake, holley terminator, E85 and big fuel system. Took it on rocky mountain raceweek 2.0 this year. 3290 raceweight

@@thuhintimidator heck ya. That’s awesome. My goal is to start doing some race weeks with it. I believe my biggest problem is I have/had my timing way too low and my converter is way off for my setup. I also think my heads have some valve sealing issues. But I’m not sure. I have to chase my tune around quite a bit sometimes. I have a freakshow converter to put in it I just haven’t done it yet cause I want to pull it apart and inspect and seal everything. So 14 psi and 706 got you a 9.61 at 146 I wonder how much power it took to get me to 9.44 at 152??? I’d like to get it back onto a dyno after I get it back together.

@Wheelsupracing 11psi was 705hp at 2k DA equaled 9.68 at 143. 14# was unknown hp and was 9.61 at 146 on much thinner air and a worse launch, 6000 DA. So probably 750-800 ish hp. 153mph was probably 850-900.

It’s a custom hydraulic roller by Ed Curtis.

Heck ya. That’s awesome. I do think the lightnings had either hypo or forged poisons where all the others had cast pistons. That’s moving for a truck for sure. They are definitely stronger than people give them credit for.

@@Wheelsupracing they had hypereutectic pistons. But from what I understand they weren't lightning specific.

Thank you. It’s probably making more power now but hasn’t been on the dyno. This winter it’s getting tore down and built.

There was a couple of issues. That’s what the dyno is for. Ended up running 9.44 152 at the track. Had a few boost leaks causing the boost to not come in till right at the end of the pull and the Holley was doing some weird stuff with the rev limiter.

Did what used to be a nova? My fox body? I’ve never owned a nova.

Stock bottom end, 351 Windsor and on this pass it had a C4 in it but now it’s got a powerglide in it. Got Chinese 190 heads with a Chinese intake and 80 mm Borg Warner. It runs on a terminator X max. Full Interior street car that weighs 3450 with me in it. This summer I’m gonna be switching some stuff around shooting for mid eights. I’ve got a converter coming for it. I think I’m gonna build the 393 to put back in it and I’m going coil near plug. I went out of town for a week for work, but when I get back I plan on starting to pull trans and motor out.

Where did you get the heads an intake

@@slow5ive.0 Facebook marketplace. I actually just got a set of AFR 220 renagades to put on it. Gonna stick with the Chinese intake for now though.

Tried and true .10 per clutch.

I think the biggest issue is I’m making more power than it seems. I think that I have a combo issue with gearing and converter. I know for sure there’s people running faster than me with pretty stock 4r70w and having no issue and I kept breaking hard parts. Broke an input shaft and twisted multiple direct drums. Another thing is my car is heavy. 3450 with me in it. Most foxes are on diets and weigh 3000 or less.

@@Wheelsupracing that’s pretty loose man the foward clutches must be set in the low to mid 20s but yes your right that is really heavy for a c4 our cars are only in the 2800-3000s as well

@@boosted_3478 sorry I ran .05 on the forward and .10 on the direct per clutch. Had to look through the notes on my phone lol. My car has never been put on a diet. All stock interior down to the insulation and AC box. With all the safety stuff added to the car it’s fat for sure. This winter I’d like to put a tubular k member in the car and maybe a tubular front end to help loose some weight.
