Somehow all the heads are starting to look similar to most modern super bike heads. I’m in the process of designing my own head for 2.0L ford engine as I dont like the exhaust port in the Zetec.

@@kevinbraun6272 Oh man that would be a very interesting to test. I myself don't much care of the old pinto / sohc engine for its heavy and only sensible head is the YB cosworth that is actually not that special. Only thing is that all the YB parts are getting expensive and in stock form it's a pig. But to have a good head on the old engine would be very interesting.
Thanks Steve - as you can probably see this is not a pre-planed or scripted video.

what i love about these guys...look around their shop. no specialty engine machines, just bridgeport mills. just goes to show, where there's a will there's a way.
Many engine gurus use standard machine shop tools. My shop is comprised of vintage machine tools. I used a round ram Bridgeport to do the work on Cummins diesel heads. These guys have tremendous amounts of knowledge about engines.
That's super interesting. I'm glad they are not keeping this info secret and willing to share with the world. I'd estimate they need to spin that 500cid engine to at least 11000 rpm to reach 1300hp.
So you're assuming 620 ft lbs torque at 11,000 RPM. That is only around 1.25 ft lbs per cubit inch. While that is good, it's not outstanding. I would assume more torque per inch and spin lower. All hypothetical on my part.
Pro stock already does 14-1500 hp out of 500ci using push rods. The heads flow 620cfm. The rpm is 10,500. They used to turn 12,000 rpm before rule changes.
Maybe also look at head designs from superbike engines. Those are probably the highest power/capacity mass produced NA 4stroke engines out there. I'm thinking bmw S1000RR, Ducati Pannigale, Yamaha R, Hayabusa, etc. Don't know if things change tho when the capacity of the cylinders get (way) higher. Cool project!
Keep the vids coming, love this channel and the info Pete and Kevin share about their creations. Meeting Kevin and Pete at PRI was my highlight of that weekend.
I've learned more from you guys than any other place thank you for your time and blessing us with this kind of out of the box ingenuity!Truly a pleasure to watch❤
High revving motorcycle engines these days r using tapered ( small to large ) headers wonder if that would help and of course they use finger followers to actuate the valves the desmodromic valves rgoinv to 16,500 on a litre bike ( 4 cyl short stroke) insane revs for rd use how many cylinders r u limited to go your 500 cu/in. Luv your work guys
Have y’all looked at passive pre-chamber ignition? I’m supposing that’s where much of the gain in F-1 bsfc and eliminating detonation has come from, but, information is apparently proprietary, like everything else in F-1.
It’s the newest V12 =5L. The 2 head’s shown in this video are for this newest engine build. I’m working putting a video together soon. Stay tuned- thank you Greg
Hay I've been reruns of NHRA Racing and the class is Pro-Mod there Cubic inchs is 900 Cubic inchs I Chevy and Ford and Dodge I'm wondering if your head design would work on those engines they are down in the 6 sec and some down in the mid 5 sec . Oh some are running Blowers Turbo and Procharger.
God how I wish we these development tools were readily available at home back when I was still doing circle tracks in the 4cyl class in the 90's. I raced the Lima 4 (pinto engine) exclusively, they're a fantastic platform and the best we could do at the time as far as anything trick was either spending a fortune on a Cosworth head (if you could even get one), or modify the Volvo twin cam head with a little work to get it on the Lima block. There was only so much you could get out of the best late-model stock single cam head. There was no 3-D print prototyping, no shops willing to spend their milling machine time on *you* etc. This dude here, Mr Kevin, would have been my best friend!
Nice guys , the secrets of Race Engines . No wonder they go so fast . Possibly the only Head that l know of that comes close 2 these guys is from Greg at Hammerhead Head Performance in Georgia. And its a 2 valve head 4 a SBF . But it wouldn't be making 1300 hp . Think he is over 1000 hp on a 429 cu inch platform. Not sure what fuel he is running. Worth a Peep . Looking forward 2 more content & 2 see how close 2 400 mph these lovely old guys come 2 that mark . Thx Robert Australia
Thanks Robert. Pete and Kevin's goal was to make at least 2.5 HP per cubic in of engine displacement. They have been very successful at achieving that goal. Their current 6L V12 which measures in at 369 CID produces 920 HP - running on gasoline naturally asperated. I spoke with Pete this morning and he is shooting for 2.75 HP per CID. Thanks for watching the videos. Hope to have a new one uploaded soon. Thanks, Greg

Hello from Oamaru Sth island New Zealand. Do you advise to dress head gasket with Hylomar spray on prior to installation?. I'm replacing a gasket on my 2012 Nissan Navara D40 St-X Diesel common rail turbo engine
@@joe-hp4nk Well originally we wanted to make it fit a big block Chevy, but it has bolts in the way of both the intake and exhaust ports. So probably a 460 Ford. We can get an aftermarket 460 with wider bore spacing than a Chevy and it can be bored to 4.700.
These guys are great , To bad some of the top name guys wont help them out with some current technology information. It would save them alot of time and work , and make their engines run better. I see somethings that could be improved , and Ive been out of race engine business 10 Years.
It would be awesome if someone made a modern Hall scott engines, large displacement gas engines, 5" bore 7" stroke, and more, I'm curious what opposite measurements would be like, 5" stroke with 7" bore, maybe titanium piston? Has anyone done that? Piston weight will become a issue eventually, as a engine speed limiting factor anyway, 7"-8" should be ok with modern piston design, 6k should be reachable, 12 cylinders. With 8" bore and up to 8" stroke, could be a monster, I'd love to see a 2srroke gas engine like that,. Similar to the old Detroit diesel engines, a direct injected gas, 2stroke gas engine! Could be spicy possibly 6-8valves per cylinder, 3 intake 3exhaust , maybe 4, using traditional valves, but I have seen a rotating valve that is both in and out, also the combustion chamber, it can offer much more flow, possibly the open port uncovering the spark plugs, while in the ignition position, using a worm gear, to spin the valve in each chamber, the valve could open a large high flow port, with a 8" bore, a 4" port possibly, but two 3" would probably be best, allowing one to be closed at low rpm, to increase the velocity, for low rpm TQ, to 2500-3k rpm, 5k would probably be the limit with such a long stroke, heavy components! But even a 6-8 cylinder would be a monster! Maybe shortening the stroke to about 4"-5" and 5-6k should be no problem, maybe 7k RPM,
@@dennisrobinson8008 They do. I have worked on them in the past, but that was with 1.1 valve lift. I don’t believe that will hold up in a five mile run.
Too bad these guys have not studied fluid dynamics. They could take advantage of these heads and bring them up to modern levels. Ultra pro heads has a small block cylinder heads that flows 440CFM’s from a small block single valve.
@@Baard2000 true. My 2009 c63 heads on a 4.02" bore flow: lift flow ported flow .200" 202.5 205 .300" 300 319 .400" 348 373 .500" 358 390 .600" 360 405 They have 40mm intake valves. I suspect the 5.5L LT6 do even better with 42mm intake valves on a 4.100" bore. Bad ass canted valve heads do around 230 cfm @ .300" and are lucky to hit 150cfm @ 200" and cross 300CFM by .400"... At greater lifts the DOHC seems to lose its advantages over these monster single valve push rod heads.
Too bad??? Well then go take some of that fluid dynamics knowledge and take one of the many records these guys have set. The proof is in the pudding, and these dudes have the records to prove it. Someone who sits on their ass playing on the computer analyzing fluid dynamics has nothing on these guys, otherwise the computer analysis would hold the records. Plus this operation is just two dudes and some manual Bridgeports. I'm pretty sure they know what they are doing
Hey Guys Lets not let the b.s. get in our eyes. Lets keep track of what an AVEAGE shop would charge to build this cyl head. So his FIRST effort is 100 hrs to make the FIRST model. Today's AVERAGE shop rate is $100 per HOUR. So this FIRST MODEL COST $10,000 TO BUILD.
My shop is $155 an hour. You also have to figure equipment cost and maintenance and also materials. After that you have trial and error. I hope that you don't think that designing something like this that it works out great the first time. How is that for B.S. ?
The part took 100 hrs to print, but it was on a Creality 10 3D printer which I bought for $500. You don’t have to stand there and run the machine. You set it up in about a half hour and it just runs until it is finished.
Let's not forget these guys have nothing but time to do this. They have paid dues for a long time in order to finance this project. They did R&D for everyone including GM
It takes a gazillion dollars and a cadre of degreed engineers in Detroit to do what a couple of old guys are doing in a Southern California garage. Talk about return on investment.
Down here in Australia we've got the Ford 4 lt inline 6 cylinder Barra engine with dohc & 4 valves per cylinder & I've always wondered if it'd be possible to make an 8 lt 60° V12 out of 2 of them cos they're cheap & plentiful & put out reasonable power......
@@lancecooper4646 you could machine two blocks, so that they would fit a split case 60degree block, using long studs to bolt the blocks to the cases, now do you make a horizontal split or vertical?
I'm skipping through the video while typing at work, so forgive me if I'm missing something but: the VK56 can be sleeved to 6.1L and it's valvetrain is stable past 10,000rpm. I love the level of development going on here, but that should have you on the ground and running.

Why not direct titanium or aluminium 3D-printed of these intakes?
Because PLA is a whole lot cheaper than Ti. These are test pieces-they're talking about maybe moving inlet/exhaust ports too reduce valve shrouding.

Kinda surprised he used Bobcad for this. I figured he would have been using Solidworks because of how good their simulations are
