Another on point video. I bet I can speak for lots of folks when I say that we'd binge watch these FE videos during a build making sure we include all the applicable tips, tricks etc... Thank you!
Absolutely keep up the tips, literally writing it down in a notebook so I’ll have it to go by, so nice to have a reputable engine builder willing to share helpful information thank you!
INTERESTING FACT. WHEN CARROLL SHELBY STARTED BUILDING THE COBRAS USING THE HIPO 289's. HE USED TO BREAK DOWN THE ENGINES AND CHECK EVERYTHING FOR PRECISION MACHINING AND CLEARANCES. EVERY MOTOR THAT HE INSPECTED WAS 100% PERFECT. THAT CARROLL SHELBY STOP CHECKING THE HIPO 289's AND NO LONGER BROKE COME DOWN. OTHER THEN CHANGE THE CAMS.
Excellent content, very helpful. Even if I don't build my own, useful questions to ask of an engine builder. Located in Central Ks and not too many FE builders around close
I as a machinist would working on the FE blocks I would modify the oil holes on three the bearings on the mains and it definitely draw off the oil hole where the oil pump mounts going to the filter. And a higher volume oil pump

Awesome video as usual Brent! I've built more than a few FEs and I always seem pick something new up out of these vids. Thank you for what you do! 🏁
