    Man I hope you do more videos with the small block fords on how to get more powah 😁 out of them and dyno videos, i built a 347 stroker that I am in the middle of dropping it in a 79 pinto, but i loved this video series and I hope that you do more ford stuff 😁

    Good camera angles, thoroughly explaining details, speaking clearly and connecting with your viewers is a great 'gift' to have, and you've got it.. I've been around mechanics who know what they're doing but it's like they're talking Japanese. I'm glad you take the time and put it all together.. Happy holidays sir!

    Excellent video! Could you direct me to a video on the port job on 69/70 351 Windsor heads? Just taking the EGR bump out of a set of Windsor heads makes a world of difference but seeing how and whys of the actual port job would go a long way for me, and other viewers. Thank you and Happy Holidays.

    Hey brother great video. When I did this same mod, 351 heads on my 76 302, I was told to drill little steam holes in the heads. The steam holes are at the top of the cylinder bores(centre 3:35) along the intake side-compare the heads (1:34) to the block & gasket. I used the gasket as my template and drilled the corresponding holes in the heads-I had no overheating issues, not sure how critical this step is with respect to engine cooling/hotspots.

    When I torque main and head bolts, when the torque wrench clicks or beeps I stop turning but hold at that point for a second. This enables the threads to catch up, compensating for "spring back". Spring back is a term applied to bending things like tubing. If you want a 90° bend you need to go a couple of degrees past as the metal will relax a bit when the pressure you have been applying is released. If you stop right on 90°, when you remove the bender the tube will be a couple of degrees less than required.
    When torquing you do not want to go any past where the torque wrench clicks. But you do not want the bolt head or nut to slip back any. So by holding at the torque point the metals get a chance to seat and hold properly.

    This was an absolutely fascinating series! I have a question. I think It would not be worth a shops time to do so, but could a guy take stock heads, put them on sandpaper like a head on a small engine, and reduce the combustion chamber enough to make it worthwhile? Also possible to increase the size of the ports on the heads with a dremel and polishing for an effective gain? By the way, did you guys put the car on the dyno at all, results? Thanks Very Much I learned a hell of a lot, haven't torn down an engine since I was a kid in the wrecking yard.

    I always adjust valves one cylinder /valve at a time, and if you have solid lifters it's more important to do it that way.Books can say what ever they want, they don't know your cam specs, cam timing, or type of lifter. Maybe not even the firing order depending .Takes a bit more time but this way you know its right.Fords will either make you a better mechanic, or make you think WTF am I doing...life is to short for that shit. I'm currently on the fence.

      I can't see a follow up on his channel but that combo is good for 300hp give or take and about as good of a daily driver as you can find. The cam is the defining factor. With a slightly bigger cam it could make 360+ but it would lose some of that smooth driving goodness that the cam they chose would have. That motor would be a very nice thing in a Mustang.

    One thing of note... those heads have two more bolt holes on each head for retaining the intake. The later heads don’t have that, or aftermarket intakes. Also should those rockers have guidplates? I don’t think the Windsor heads have the oval slot for the push rod like the 260/289 heads. I think the factory non roller rocker arms had a groove in them to locate them to the valve stem.

      @@michaelwestra9861 The link you provided shows a full roller that requires guide plates. I downloaded the PRW catalog a found p/n 0803202 that is a self aligning roller tip for Ford. The link shows the extended tips to keep the rocker on the valve. Kinda neat. Never seen that before on a roller rocker. Amazing the things you see when you look. store.prw-usa.com/0830202-small-block-ford-1-6-x-3-8-self-aligning-prw-sportsman-steel-rocker-arms/

      @@roundtuitracingaz132 sorry for the wrong link, I must have had a couple of windows open and grabbed the wrong one. Glad you found what I was actually talking about. I was amazed as well and only just recently discovered them. Happy building!

    The OG head swap. Before the aftermarket heads came out WAS the small chamber 351w heads.
    Us Ford guys had it tough in the earlier years of the 5.0 motor stuff.
    Now we can order up dozens of heads that flow over 300 cfm at .600

    Hey I know this is a older vid but I forgot to ask a question. Any reason why you decided not to use a roller rocker? Just curious and wanted to know your opinion. I’ve been back and forth on them with my 306, GT40P heads, Comp 274 build for my Fox. Thx.

    Look forward to seeing the end results. Sticking with the P heads on mine. The BBK unequal shorties will work fine in my Fox body. Love the SBF content. Thank you so much as I will be putting my 306 here together soon.

    I am curious on those C9OE heads. Which intake gasket was those ported to?? Fel-Pro 1250 or 1262?? I just picked up a set of those heads. From reading there is some big flow potential in those heads. Here is one link I ran across. There is about 7 other links that show big CFM. www.speed-talk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13452
