Hell yeah! Blue oval all the way.The factory 385 BBF can be maxed out all the way to 598ci, BBC stops at 572. Or Look at the modern V8s, Ford makes more hp with the 5.0 coyote than GM does with a 6.2 ls3.
Chevy 572, dual quads, tunnel ram, 750 h.p., ford 557, single quad, 750 h.p., how about the same tunnel ram and carbs as the chevy?, oh yea, they didn't have one " laying around the shop".
@@thomasdavis3998 This build seems to suggest otherwise, the BBC made 4 less HP with only 15 more cubic inches. Its a solid comparable build. They both make good engines, and are both capable of the same power levels.
About time we see some Ford engines. Great job guys. I have a couple friends who run BBF's and they do very well at the track. To many people ask if they are the other brand. These video's are clear on the potential of these amazing motors. Do you see a Godzilla in your future?
The Trick Flow 325 Power Port heads are very nice pieces, but for this size of displacement, I think they are a bit on the small side. This combo with some P-51 heads will pull over 800 horses on motor alone, and very likely be over 1100 on the bottle. And with the new SR-71 heads, I think power would be substantially more still.
I had a 69 Lincoln mk lll and it had a 460 and it was a good highway speeder. But nothing like that! And a magic carpet ride. Better than many. Newer cars.
My Chevy is so fast and strong it'll out run and out pull anything. My Chevy helps me pick up so many cousins st family reunions. I hate fords cause my uncle dad said they are junk.
Yeah street racer I mean my uncle and your uncle are the same guy that's why we hate fords and chevys are the best. I can't wait to see you at the family reunion this summer we are gonna pick up so many cousins. With are big block chevys. They are so much better than anything. I say we go watch every Ford video on you tube. And then comment how much better chevys are. That'll show them. After that we will swap sisters and Copenhagen. Oh man it's gonna be a epic Christmas. Just make sure everyone knows that our chevys are faster than fords in the meantime.
Fords suck so bad. Just ask street racer if you don't believe me. I mean jeez it had lees cubic inches than the 572 Chevy and only made 4 more hp. What a junket right street racer. Let's get are chevys out and show these Ford guys how it's done.
street racer you have a 468 too? Man my 468 Chevy makes 1700hp on 91 octane. It's all motor no nitruous or turbos. Fords are such garbage though right. I mean my 572 big block Chevy makes 3000hp on 93 octane and has all stock internals. I'd like to see a ford do that. Man I can wait till our family reunion cuz. We are gonna tear up our cousins like Chevys tear up Fords.
Nice drag times, but in my opinion I prefer all aluminum low sitting small block v8s or even a twin turbo v6. a lower geared final drive stiff roll bars and fat tires
@@falconpowerful2362 it would fit in your falcon but you would need a stiffer suspension all around and the car would need lowered, much of that powe could be wasted as the falcon on very light and would have a heck of a time transferring power to the ground, the wheels would constantly spin, and the massively offset weight distribution would make the car very unstable and unsafe, it's like putting a putting a rocket engine on a tree leaf.
@@dj4monie LOL!!!!!!!!! Put that engine into a Foxbody Mustang or a Foxbody Fairmont or even swap it into old Fairlane or Comet and it'll demolish anything you drive mate.
LOL, I recall watching that twin turbo GTO run at Famoso 10+ years ago. It was actually the first twin turbo V8 race car I had ever seen race in person.
God damnnnnn that out performed my expectations and I'm a big ford guy that's the most power I think you guys ever made in the dyno room! Nice freakin work
Valve springs are gonna be troublesome on the street with that much lift, keep it under .700" gross lift and things will stay a lot happier for much longer not much noticeable difference in power for the added durability and cost of maintenance an addition of a Stud girdle would make a noticeable gain in power and less rocker stud breakage.
@@bigboreracing356 We ran a 8.5:1 stock long block 454 from an rv with 3 nitrous plates stacked and all open solenoids only for 3 years and hundreds of passes before a gas solenoid failed and it sent the pistons out the tail pipe. It was a lot of fun for a $800 junk yard motor and I feel certain was in the 2hp/cid range. It did have a cam , manifolds and headers but that was it.
Only thing I would use for toeing is a 468 Chevy right street racer. They are so much more powerful and reliable than a ford. Let's post it all over Facebook so everyone can be impressed with the 468 Chevy
@@bigboreracing356 Thats if you use a stock 385 series crankshaft at these power levels. it has the counterbalance on the front snout of the crank. THIS crankshaft is internally balanced eagle crank and has no weight on the front so ti will hold 1500 horsepower reliably.
STREET RACER ROFL really? A stock Big Block Chevy 454 will handle 1400 HP??? I want what you are smoking!!! Lol The Block itself might handle that but so will the 460 Block. the Internals are only good to about 600 HP. Maybe slightly more than the 460. But hey keep spewing nonsense if you want.😂😂😂
I like how they made the build with somewhat of an actual home builders budget. Not punching MAJOR name brands for oil, ignition, filters, etc. with a price point. The MAJOR guys I’m sure make great products, but people that have already spent a ton for their toy don’t necessarily need to spend a ton right off the bat for everything.
Kinda wild how 700hp used to take a big block with lots of cam and heads but now we have LS and Coyote motors making that with bolt on parts and cams and maybe head work.
Even more interesting is how much power you can get from the OE's these days. I remember watching an interview Jay Leno did where he mentioned buying his Viper. Dealer assured him you'll never see a car with this much HP from the factory again. Yeah times have changed, and I like it!
@@sparkplug1018 Totally agreeing. Makes me wonder how long big thumping cams in a large displacement V8 will stick around. I love them, don't get me wrong but I feel like carbed engines are coming to an end now that we have standalone engine management that's more efficient and equally priced to a good carb nowadays. Heck, even 5-6 cylinders are making north of 500 now.
@@sparkplug1018 more or less I agree. I've seen large cfm carbs going for 3-900 bucks and most don't really understand tuning them and don't want to risk spending 5 hours changing jets, adjusting timing and then blowing it up because it's wrong. With things like megasquirt you can run efi off of basically any engine from 4 to 8 cylinders for about 3-400 bucks and have someone data log and tune remotely.
@@alpha2gproject783 If the person can learn the system MS is a great deal. Im thinking more of an out of the box system though. Figure a 1000+ cfm carb, single plain intake and distributor will set you back 1000-1200 or so. I think thats the mark to hit, when an out of the box system (intake, TB, ECU, dist, wiring and fuel pump, etc) can match or beat that, then yeah carbs are done for good. Figure with how popular LS swaps have become people are becoming much more comfortable with it, so its probably not to far off id imagine.
750 h.p. with a single carb, pump gas and a streetable cam and cylinder heads - a number race engines made not so many years ago. 1000 h.p. still just as streetable, still on pump gas puts it amongst some strong street engines - no matter how common the magazines make it sound, how many do you actually see? More cylinder head, more camshaft, more carburetor and 1300 to 1400 (on the bottle) isn't out of the question. Now THAT'S one wicked street package.
I wouldn't call it a reliable street package but definately a street package. Only thing that I would change is run a hydraulic roller cam to make it more maitence free.
@@sandchar This particular build - I say it's reliable - you could drive a car with this engine in it every day without a breakdown, in fact rollers don't have failure issues when they don't sit - the roller axles stay lubricated - and they would be the weak point, that's as reliable as any high output engine gets. You don't get stock engine reliability once you start making modifications. If setting valve lash occasionally is what you're getting at, both flat tappet and roller solids go a lot more miles without adjustment than most people realize. I ran flat tappet solids in my street/weekend race cars (at that time it was one car for everything) for about two decades and it was unusual for one to need lash adjustment more than once every 10,000 miles even with seriously wild cams. As engine man for a race team (NASCAR truck series) engine maintenance was my responsibility, part of that was monitoring the valvetrain, watching for failure (solid rollers). We'd run 2-1/2 hrs, 500 race miles - wide open throttle with the exception of yellow flags, with engine speeds between 7800 and 8100rpm - and never had any lifter failures. Valvetrain inspection was checking valve lash, if it varied it was the first sign of one of several possible failures. The only time lash varied more than a couple thousandths the issue was valve stretch, titanium valves have a finite service life before they'll stretch then fail in tension. You probably know what dropping a valve does to an engine. Valve springs on this particular engine - and any engine that runs high rpm - would be high maintenance, and going to a hydraulic roller would make that worse. Hydraulic roller lifters are heavier that solids so the springs need to be stiffer to run the same rpm as solids. These kind of builds require inspection which is maintenance just the same - nothing with this kind of output is maintenance free. The maintenance would be the same or worse depending on how often it's wound up high.
Do Not bottom your head studs in the block like these guys did with a impact tool. It states in the ARP instructions to put them in hand tight only. With heat expansion you can damage your block or stud threads. On the engines I build I measure the thread depth then ensure that my studs go in far enough and aren’t being held up by a tight thread burr. I personally leave them a 1/4 loose and have had no issues with that in 30 plus years of building the specific engines I build.
Ford people know what they have! Every time I go to a race event you will see 20 Chevy's 10 Dodge, an 5 Fords, an somehow Ford ends up on top, or at least on the podium! I would love to drop that in a smart car! lol
I off-road with a 1979 Ford Bronco running the original 400M I have been thinking of upgrading to a 460 cu. in. But i don't a 5900 rpm engine, off-roading I need low rpm torque 1800- 3500 controllable for trail driving and rock crawling. I would love to see a build for a similar rig as my own.
I always thought it was standard practice to back off head and main studs 1/4 - 1/2 turn after bottoming out so that the base of the stud doesn't try to break through the bottom of the hole during heat cycling & expansion. Also, I realize it's not as critical with a roller cam, why not add the assurance/insurance of a high-zinc break-in oil. "Back in the day" I ran non-detergent straight 30-weight (good luck finding that nowadays!) as a 200 mile break-in oil; all motor oils had sufficient zinc levels then.
We in the UK can still purchase high zinc content oils,mainly for older stuff and lawnmowers etc.But there are a few companies still able to supply us,I also assumed that backing studs out half a turn was standard practice.
@@areyouundoingthatorwhat9181, high zinc oil is still available, but current standard practice is low/no. High zinc is really only used now for fresh builds with standard hydraulic lifter cams so the lobes don't get wiped out.
Damn i was thinking that my 351 build was doing exactly what that big block was doing dyno test showed 806 hp on pump 93 i was so excited my head swelled and i was gunna get on here and brag added a hundred shot of nos and 1043 hp i was geeked my small block is a bad mfer then they showed the torque number my numbers were well short of that mine 806 hp/ 602 torque the 1043 hp /898.5 torque i mean those arent shabby numbers but that big block is a straight torque monster for sure

@@bigboreracing356 Thats if you use a stock 385 series crankshaft at these power levels. it has the counterbalance on the front snout of the crank. THIS crankshaft is internally balanced eagle crank and has no weight on the front so ti will hold 1500 horsepower reliably.
limit for the stock cast crank is around 600 hp
STREET RACER ROFL really? A stock Big Block Chevy 454 will handle 1400 HP??? I want what you are smoking!!! Lol
The Block itself might handle that but so will the 460 Block. the Internals are only good to about 600 HP. Maybe slightly more than the 460. But hey keep spewing nonsense if you want.😂😂😂
I like how they made the build with somewhat of an actual home builders budget. Not punching MAJOR name brands for oil, ignition, filters, etc. with a price point. The MAJOR guys I’m sure make great products, but people that have already spent a ton for their toy don’t necessarily need to spend a ton right off the bat for everything.
Kinda wild how 700hp used to take a big block with lots of cam and heads but now we have LS and Coyote motors making that with bolt on parts and cams and maybe head work.
Even more interesting is how much power you can get from the OE's these days. I remember watching an interview Jay Leno did where he mentioned buying his Viper. Dealer assured him you'll never see a car with this much HP from the factory again. Yeah times have changed, and I like it!
@@sparkplug1018 Totally agreeing. Makes me wonder how long big thumping cams in a large displacement V8 will stick around. I love them, don't get me wrong but I feel like carbed engines are coming to an end now that we have standalone engine management that's more efficient and equally priced to a good carb nowadays. Heck, even 5-6 cylinders are making north of 500 now.
Bob Sagget I think when EFI gets to be on even grounds with a carb setup for the entire package it will happen. And we’re getting there.
@@sparkplug1018 more or less I agree. I've seen large cfm carbs going for 3-900 bucks and most don't really understand tuning them and don't want to risk spending 5 hours changing jets, adjusting timing and then blowing it up because it's wrong. With things like megasquirt you can run efi off of basically any engine from 4 to 8 cylinders for about 3-400 bucks and have someone data log and tune remotely.
@@alpha2gproject783 If the person can learn the system MS is a great deal. Im thinking more of an out of the box system though. Figure a 1000+ cfm carb, single plain intake and distributor will set you back 1000-1200 or so. I think thats the mark to hit, when an out of the box system (intake, TB, ECU, dist, wiring and fuel pump, etc) can match or beat that, then yeah carbs are done for good.
Figure with how popular LS swaps have become people are becoming much more comfortable with it, so its probably not to far off id imagine.
750 h.p. with a single carb, pump gas and a streetable cam and cylinder heads - a number race engines made not so many years ago. 1000 h.p. still just as streetable, still on pump gas puts it amongst some strong street engines - no matter how common the magazines make it sound, how many do you actually see?
More cylinder head, more camshaft, more carburetor and 1300 to 1400 (on the bottle) isn't out of the question.
Now THAT'S one wicked street package.
I wouldn't call it a reliable street package but definately a street package. Only thing that I would change is run a hydraulic roller cam to make it more maitence free.

This particular build - I say it's reliable - you could drive a car with this engine in it every day without a breakdown, in fact rollers don't have failure issues when they don't sit - the roller axles stay lubricated - and they would be the weak point, that's as reliable as any high output engine gets. You don't get stock engine reliability once you start making modifications.
If setting valve lash occasionally is what you're getting at, both flat tappet and roller solids go a lot more miles without adjustment than most people realize.
I ran flat tappet solids in my street/weekend race cars (at that time it was one car for everything) for about two decades and it was unusual for one to need lash adjustment more than once every 10,000 miles even with seriously wild cams.
As engine man for a race team (NASCAR truck series) engine maintenance was my responsibility, part of that was monitoring the valvetrain, watching for failure (solid rollers). We'd run 2-1/2 hrs, 500 race miles - wide open throttle with the exception of yellow flags, with engine speeds between 7800 and 8100rpm - and never had any lifter failures. Valvetrain inspection was checking valve lash, if it varied it was the first sign of one of several possible failures. The only time lash varied more than a couple thousandths the issue was valve stretch, titanium valves have a finite service life before they'll stretch then fail in tension. You probably know what dropping a valve does to an engine.
Valve springs on this particular engine - and any engine that runs high rpm - would be high maintenance, and going to a hydraulic roller would make that worse. Hydraulic roller lifters are heavier that solids so the springs need to be stiffer to run the same rpm as solids.
These kind of builds require inspection which is maintenance just the same - nothing with this kind of output is maintenance free.
The maintenance would be the same or worse depending on how often it's wound up high.
Looks good. But compared to S6 E5 when you went to JKR a little low on power. John made 1100hp with no power adders. But still love the video
Do Not bottom your head studs in the block like these guys did with a impact tool. It states in the ARP instructions to put them in hand tight only. With heat expansion you can damage your block or stud threads.
On the engines I build I measure the thread depth then ensure that my studs go in far enough and aren’t being held up by a tight thread burr.
I personally leave them a 1/4 loose and have had no issues with that in 30 plus years of building the specific engines I build.
Ford people know what they have! Every time I go to a race event you will see 20 Chevy's 10 Dodge, an 5 Fords, an somehow Ford ends up on top, or at least on the podium! I would love to drop that in a smart car! lol
My favorite part is where he talked over the engine noise when the nitrous hit. Such an awesome sound he talked about, and then wouldn’t shut up.
AWESOME NUMBERS!!! That would be a perfect engine for my Mustang!! ;D Like they say, "There's no RE-placement for DIS-placement"!!
Amish Mike sure knows
his parts, just like those
spark ⚡️ bolts
Your sentence
structure
is horrific.
psygn0sis really? I thought my book learnings was good & my word speak'n even better
I was (very) mildly disappointed that it didn’t make 2 hp/ci. Torque was slightly over that figure (1119/557), though.
I off-road with a 1979 Ford Bronco running the original 400M I have been thinking of upgrading to a 460 cu. in. But i don't a 5900 rpm engine, off-roading I need low rpm torque 1800- 3500 controllable for trail driving and rock crawling. I would love to see a build for a similar rig as my own.
Sweet build
I always thought it was standard practice to back off head and main studs 1/4 - 1/2 turn after bottoming out so that the base of the stud doesn't try to break through the bottom of the hole during heat cycling & expansion.
Also, I realize it's not as critical with a roller cam, why not add the assurance/insurance of a high-zinc break-in oil. "Back in the day" I ran non-detergent straight 30-weight (good luck finding that nowadays!) as a 200 mile break-in oil; all motor oils had sufficient zinc levels then.
Yes and because they're sponsored...youre right in both aspects
We in the UK can still purchase high zinc content oils,mainly for older stuff and lawnmowers etc.But there are a few companies still able to supply us,I also assumed that backing studs out half a turn was standard practice.
@@areyouundoingthatorwhat9181, high zinc oil is still available, but current standard practice is low/no. High zinc is really only used now for fresh builds with standard hydraulic lifter cams so the lobes don't get wiped out.
Nice build for sure!
Damn the gearhead academy is close, I need to get on that
Building a similar 557 with 10.3:1 compression and aluminum SCJ heads for a 1978 LTD. Wanting it to be a sleeper like the Granada build.
All Hail the King Ford BB!
Oh sounds bit will,but I really like the blue valve covers ,,looks great next to the nice silver heads ,,yea great set up ,,oh love nos too
This makes me want to be a auto mechanic so badd this my dream job
Very impressive numbers!!!!
How was the oil pick up held down opposite end of the oil pump? Didn't see a mounting stud.
Not surprised.... That's Ford!
these simple V8s are so much better than the little overstressed overcomplicated things we have over here in Europe.
Damn i was thinking that my 351 build was doing exactly what that big block was doing dyno test showed 806 hp on pump 93 i was so excited my head swelled and i was gunna get on here and brag added a hundred shot of nos and 1043 hp i was geeked my small block is a bad mfer then they showed the torque number my numbers were well short of that mine 806 hp/ 602 torque the 1043 hp /898.5 torque i mean those arent shabby numbers but that big block is a straight torque monster for sure
Can I ask where you got the kit to make this 10:1 compression I can’t find one that isn’t 13:1 compression
Lol seeing grown men hug over HP&TQ is awesome
Sorry but the Fastest Small Block ever is the Ford MMR Pro Mod at 5.80 in the 1/4 Mile
Wow what a great build
