Thanks for the info!

Thanks man, it's my buddy's car and it's since received a bunch of drivetrain upgrades to hopefully prevent that from happening again! LOL Stay tuned for some updated videos of it! Thanks for checking out the channel. BTW, love your GT500 content! Killer build!

Nice, man! I'll head over to your channel and subscribe. A 13/14 GT500 is definitely a bucket list car for me!

🙌💪🫡👊🏎️

Me too, love these Flatheads! Nothing sounds quite like them, especially one with some good cam and compression! I'm not sure on the power, but I'll ask East Bay Speed and Custom about it. Motor will be installed in the car soon! Sorry to hear about your '50 Ford. Hope you can get another!

Couldn’t have said it better myself!

Me too. Nothing sounds like a loaded-up Flatty! 💪

Agreed! Nothing like a proper Flathead! 🏆🏆 Thanks for the comment!

Thanks for the comment! Some cool info in this thread: www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/potvin-3-4-race-vs-3-8-super.602674/

Music to my ears! Love the sound of a loaded-up Flathead! Thanks for the comment!

I agree! Not me driving. Once it's in neutral you've lost a serious amount of control!

Sadly, feels like at some point in the near future the LS might take that top slot. Until then, I'll take all the help I can get, lol.

Jealous much??.😮

It runs good for a pump-gas small block. Full roller motor, decent cam and heads. Exhaust is longtubes into a custom X-pipe and I think some Flowmasters that he’s gonna swap for some straight-through mufflers soon.

Hey, Buddy!!

Thanks! Still loving it, even after all these years! Do you have a C30?

No, I've never bought one. I was looking a R Design version in 2013. Time has passed 😁. Today I'd love to get a T5 but it's almost impossible to find in France. I find this C30 as attractive as ever. Otherwise, why not a V40! 🙄

Ha ha, certainly not as usable as a V40, but you're right, the C30 sure is a looker! 😍🤩 Thanks for the comments!@@chris_pt6639

F1A-94s are gray blowers! Big top-end and they come on strong for a centrifugal blower-nice! Bet that combo flys! Ever had it on the dyno or at the track?!

@@RaceGasSmellsGood 1190rwhp...yes it absolutely pulls hard on the big end and by my motor being a 427 that helps to

@@wood4278 Nice, man. Those are some stout numbers! Ill have to check out your channel and subscribe! Definitely more Fox-body content coming to my channel!

Thanks for checking out the channel. Our best pass was high 8s in the quarter mile!

I'm not sure what this motor is at, but ill ask the owner. Thanks for watching!

Originally I had 3.73s but because I wanted to run 28x10.5 slicks at the track I ended up going with a 4.10 rear gear. I pulled the stock, tired T5 and replaced with with a mildly built G-Force T5 and then ultimately went with a Tremec Magnum with the 2.66 First. I like the close ratio gears, but the 2.66 first was tall with the 28-inch slicks, making it harder to launch. It was either bogging or spinning and I had to drop the clutch around 5000-5500 RPM to get it to come out hard. Had I kept that combo I'd either try 26-inch tall slicks or move to 4.56 or even 4.88 gears to help with the taller First gear. That said, on the street I really liked the 2.66-First Tremec Magnum and 4.10 rear gear combo.

Thanks for checking out the channel! I need to get back to cranking out more videos, I've got lots more in the works!

I was always pretty careful not to make a bunch of back to back runs or really beat on it when the ambient temps were hot. That said, I never ran into detonation issues even on 91-octane. I added a phenolic spacer between the upper and lower intakes and would add 5 gallons of 100 octane for added security whenever we'd hit the track, but that was pretty much it. I knew if I drove the car more regularly on the street that I should do something about managing the intake temps whether that be water/meth, intercooler or even a swap to E85 would have at least helped with detonation resistance but not necessarily the intake charge. As for coolant temps, I just used the large CHP radiator, a FoMoCo water pump, electric fans and a 180 thermostat and that seemed to do well. I think had I ran it harder more consistently I would have looked into heat extractors for the hood to try and get the engine bay temps down, if nothing more than for good measure.

@@RaceGasSmellsGood so in short, to help with detonation being the is going to be driven on the street often, I would have to have higher octane gas like 93 octane or more

@@brucedaboss3132 Mind sharing your setup? Curious on what cam, compression and your motor setup, what heads, what blower, what boost, etc.? Also, what car its going in or at least what it weights, what sorta tire you're gonna run (how much traction) and how you intend on using it (drag racing, cruising, etc.) That'd give me a better idea of what sorta octane you might need.

Thanks for checking out the channel! I've got to get back on making videos, especially of Jimmy's latest creations--he's building some fast bikes! I haven't seen those 8-second bagger vids, but ill go check them out!

Tuner said typically another 50ish horsepower. Tuner mentioned that combo typically nets high 700s on his dyno.

@@RaceGasSmellsGood ah ic thanks! great video n break down man!

@@fatman24271 thank you! Just subbed to your channel so I can keep up with your content! I need to get back to making videos!

@@RaceGasSmellsGood sounds good!

Ha ha, runs bottom 10s off the trailer with a new setup while taking a call over bluetooth! LOL

That’s amazing! Please share more details! Where’s you find it? Got any backstory?!

Stay tuned for some update videos soon. We swapped just the rear gears and went even faster! But yeah, we went 11.40s with much more potential left, even without adding any additional power, just optimizing the setup!

The man, the myth, the legend in the digital flesh!

Thanks for checking out the channel! Yessir, a Ford Performance Block with Trickflow heads, 363 cubic inches, solid roller cam and a big ol' Vortech YSI blower on it.

Thank you! I was able to track down info from a former Ford Engineer who shared some info on the motor! Part 2 coming soon!
