    Very amazing car. I really like it, especially keeping it Ford Powered, can just imagine if that 460 was fully built up, with a nice set of Kaase SR-71 Heads, and a nice Stroker Kit, all designed for single turbo. Those 429-460 BBF,S are great foundations to build a rock solid engine, that'll make as much power as you want. I use to mess around with the Clevelands for years, then about 11-12 years ago got into the 460 Fords, The Torque of the big block was so different than the Clevelands, and i still spun my 521 Stroked BBF up to 7200 rpm with no issues, went into a 3000 lb. 86 Fox Body, went Low to Mid Nines on a 275/60 Drag Radial, N/A through a 4150 Pro-Systems Carb, still with a Built C-4, and 8.8 rear. Still all FORD Drivetrain too. I really wanna do a Large Single Turbo myself with the BBF, i Love your Set-up, Very nice work on the Headers and everything.

    I am so glad to see you kept the leaf springs, so many CLOWNS go with that piece of JUNK 4 link/j-bar welded suspention. Watch y-tube to see how many of those welded suspentions BREAK and the rearends fly out from under the car. The stock 4 link in my 89 5.0 Mustang almost killed me TWICE. There is a Y-tube channel which features Old-school Gassers being raced in the SouthEast , ALL leafspring cars. Go strait and not one lost rearend.

    Question. At only 8 PSI and TBI injection, doesn’t the sprayed fuel cool off the heated air? And are you using the alcohol injection just when making runs at the track? I ask because I have the same setup on 69f100 and have a fitech 600pa system and haven’t had any issues, yet. Thanks for your time and really nice ride!

    • @christiangriffin4869
      @christiangriffin4869  4 года назад +2

      Thank you! In theory, yes the fuel being injected should be absorbing some heat and aiding in reducing the iats. However, I have no way to measure how much heat it is carrying. I use the alcohol injection as my primary means of cooling the intake charge while also increasing the octane of the fuel being consumed.

      You may could try a set of shorty headers or if you already have some could try modifying them. To get that perfect fit though a custom set is likely the only option. I built the headers on this car. Its was my first set and they wernt too bad to make. Get a kit, take your time, and plan everything out. Before you know it you've got a perfect fitting header and a part to be proud of.
