Thanks Brent, you are a great man to do business with. You do what you say you’re going to do, no B.S., very professional and knowledgeable. I can’t wait to install this “small engine “ in the Fairlane.
I'm a Chrysler Hemi man but I love the ford's! (Even own a little 90 LX) I may shoehorn one of my Hemi's in it once I split the block. (13lbs stock bottom end) But I absolutely love the Tunnel port FE!! It's rarity and power is awesome! My father and his then boss built a 41' willys with a 427 TP. Get this, it had aluminum heads!! He remembers they sold the heads for $500!!! Imagine what those would be worth today!!
Very nice engine. I love the care you take of these engines for people, much respect! As nice as this engine is, it's out of my league. What I really like seeing is your 352( junkie junk)! Defenatly not junk! But I feel more relatable seeing that thing. Again more caliber than any of mine but feel much more in touch seeing engines with oem cast iron heads! It let's me kinda see what some of the parts I own are truly capable of when the right work & combos are applied.
Very nice Brent! Absolutely love this TP build. I have been waiting for this dyno video as I have been interested in this since you you used old TP heads. Fantastic!
We had one in the early to mid 70’s. Ours was a 447 CI which was a 427 block and bore with a 428 crankshaft. TRW sold posting with the correct wrist location so it was budget. We had tunnel Port heads with a single four barrel. We never could locate a two four intake. We raced it in a stock 69 Mustang that was a original NHRA Super Stock car with a 428CJ. We never had a dyno so had no idea how much power it had. The car was set up with narrowed rear end 14” drag slicks. The only engine non Ford part was a roller cam. The car ran 10.30’s in the 1/4 mile at around 129 MPH. I know it didn’t have the power this one does but I’m guessing it was about 560 horsepower.
My grandpa was a pretty serious Ford guy and did lots of drag racing in the 60s & 70s and stopped sometime in the early 80s. His shop was full of old FE stuff when he passed. Thankfully it wasnt sold off or scattereinto the wind by any of my uncles or my dad. I recently started going through it and wow did he have some nice stuff. Its going to be interesting to dig deeper and discover exactly what has been in there for the last 40 years collecting dusst.

I know you probably are jaded, but this engine is probably the best looking thing anyone could ask for under the hood of your ford! Hard to believe that tunnel ports still aren’t tall enough to get the max performance, and need the spacers. 600/600 ought to move whatever you are putting it in!
@lykinsmotorsports I mean, 425.00 original parts are getting rare, right? So, you can run an improved aluminum copy and not worry as much about grenading said motor mm..
Now if it were just mine to fit an awesome old Fairlane or maybe my F100... Joking aside, it is wild when you detune an engine to REMOVE power & still makes 650HP/550TQ (if I remember correctly). Great work.
I'd like to apologize for my comment yesterday( now deleted) about you needing to blow your nose and the cocaine joke. It was meant in fun and not offensively. I like your channel, and you are very talented. I sincerely apologize.

I pitched the Alt & 1 Battery ,put a 16 volt Battery , knocked off 50 lbs on my 484 FE Super Gas car .Never worry bout enough to start at the line anymore .MSD luvs it .Just put the charger on it ,do your maint , remove charger & go ,never worry bout enough again .All my 12 volt items work great . Gotta be some one making a 16 volt charger for street cars .I shoulda done this long time ago , its about 500.00$. But removes any worry bout will it start .
as old as these blocks & as expensive as they are I think he,s got the right idea .Wouldnt wanna be the builder telling my customer ,I was removing your freeze plugs & the block broke . You would turn around & say why were you removing them to start with .
Do you have a FE engine identification video that I’m overlooking. I can get a running. FE out of a 68-72 2tone dump truck just not shore what FE it is or if it’s worth it
THE TUNNEL PORT MOTOR WAS DESIGNED TO WORK WITH A DUAL QUAD SET UP. AT THE TIME THE CHRYSLER HEMI WAS USING A DUAL QUAD SET UP. WHEN NASCAR FOUND OUT IT WAS DESIGNED AND WORKS BEST WITH A DUAL QUAD SETUP..

loved to have had that in my rcode stang back in 74 .. that 440 chalenger would not have beat me ..
I hear a place called dove makes aluminum tunnel port heads, they make big horse FE engines too!
Those Chrome Fe valve covers, are the best .
Very nice Brent! Absolutely love this TP build. I have been waiting for this dyno video as I have been interested in this since you you used old TP heads. Fantastic!

Probably a trade secret but bore stroke would have been nice but always loved the fe was my first engine build
Beautiful engine dude. In every way.
Awesome. You know what you're doing.!!!!😮 wish it was mine
TUNNEL PORTS WERE THE BEST WEDGE HEADS A FRIEND OF MINE HAD SOME ON A 390 AND WOW AWSOME BUILD
my 406 heads intakes would not open on m y 30 over 390 . Valves are 219s

Curious Brent have you built any SOHC fe’s?
So thorough, love your videos. Would you use some Howards hydraulic flat tappet lifters if they came in like a bag of marbles with no visible damage.
Dam old Fe getting down
I have a really low mile ford 330 out of a F600 can I build a stroker engine out of it.
Where do you get low mount alt brackets ? I want to put in a high amp alternator & can't find one that fits. They hit the head.

Always change freeze plugs especially if they are steel

If you are to have tunnel heads, why not have round exhaust ports ???
Was this a rebuild

Where the heck do you get Tunnel Port heads?? Is someone repopping them?
Still lots of factory heads floating around.
What was the compression ratio on this motor?
I have what I've been told is the hipo heads with the funky manifold bolt pattern. Will they flow as well as these heads?
Brent,
Have you ever considered adding a dyno of your own to your workshop?
Hard to get a good ROI on that right now.

Maybe so , but it just seems like every great engine over the years is a copy of ford stuff ? Does that include the Small Block Chevrolet ? 🤷🏻♂️😮
Very cool, was that built on a 390 block?
427
@@lykinsmotorsports was it a new block or do you find used engines?
Can I get my time back
