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!
@@Myvintageiron7512 I recently found a set of gt40P heads and was wondering if you would be interested in doing that valve job you did on your friends 289.
Excellent series...I just finished watching all 6 parts. I'm in the process of building a restomod 48 F-1 Panel and your videos were very helpful for making some decisions.
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 😁
This series of videos on the Ford engine is how I found your channel, excellent videos. I just so happen to be putting together an extreme budget 302 as we speak. You are a good teacher, I assume an instructor at a UTI campus. I went to NTI a couple years ago. Great school. Learned a lot.
I'm going to be building a 302 based engine, either a supercharged or 347 stroker, and this series is a great help! Thank you for putting in the time and effort to not only show, but explain why you do what you do
I built a 302 similar with 1970 mild ported 351w 4v heads ….E cam with gt40p intake, 24lb Inj, and the usual bolt on stuff. Runs really good. Very snappy and pulls hard to about 5700-5800.. very happy with this inexpensive build.
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.
Great video. About 30 years ago I put the '69 351 heads on a 302 block that's in my '67 FB Mustang. At the time there wasn't the availability of aluminum heads that there is now. One of these days I'm going to do a roller cam upgrade.
So glad to see your back at it. I was afraid you may have came down with Covid19 virus. Love your videos. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!
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.
I was really looking forward to hearing the final results with the P heads mated to the 289 block. I have a GT40P engine in my garage and a 289 in my 66 right now. I'm glad I found your channel all the same, I've learned lots already.
I picked up a set of Mac GT40p headers at what must have been just before they stopped being produced. It's crazy that no other companies pick up this product to offer.
Again great video and explanation. Hard to see but are those morel lifters? Looked on website only see applications for SBC not Ford does a Chevy part work on a Ford? Literally just got my GT40P’s back from the machine shop yesterday.
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.
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
We have been waiting for the big reveal! How about posting a vid of the dyno results for this series. This was a great project... very enjoyable content and nicely done! Much appreciated, but we need closure!
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.
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.
Interesting note you have here. I will be looking into that as I plan to put 351 heads on my 302. I am wondering how new I can go and which heads to start looking for (hoping to get hardened seats so I don't have to install them).
I remember reading a story out of Hot Rod Magazine or something back in the 80's. They used 351W heads on a 302 engine build and called it a Bogus Boss engine.
Great as always Im planning to build a big block Chevy with iron peanut port heads and a small cam for torque What compression ratio would you recommend for 87 octane? Thanks for the great videos and tips
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.
I love what you do bro. Did you change the exhaust valves or is 1.6 stock? And how much port work was really necessary to get that flow number? Also what’s gonna happen to the gt40p heads? Thanks and have a great Christmas!!!!!
no the 1.6 is an upgrade the ford valves are smaller these flow pretty good with no porting but porting and big valves makes em really good the GT40P heads are going on a different engine we are working on thanks and Merry Christmas

No You are confusing two completely different valve train set ups Ford had Nonadjustable valve trains on the small blocks in the later years that were rockers that were torqued down the early style valve train did not have a torque speck it had to be adjusted
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.
@@Myvintageiron7512 hello,this Eddie, I like your videos, do you have any 1960 ford fe heads hi performance small chamber heads they are coae I don't know rest of numbers at the moment, or a set of ford 406 fe heads ,are they a fhone number I can reach you at ,or a email address
Hey there, what do you think of a 331 flat top dss stroker running 62 cc chamber aluminum 195cc intake port heads that running a cam with 219/219 at 50 lift with 110 seperation and .578 lift with 1.7 roller rockers? Too mild of a cam?
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.
After market heads that will out perform the heads your talking about are dirt cheap nowdays. After market heads and a little bit of work on them and they will beat anything you can do.
Amazing! But ALL that work, and you had to use C9 Heads. 😲 Of course I understand the reasoning behind it. Smaller Chambers and more importantly, custom Headers would have blown the Budget! Although, if the stock Explorer Tubular Shorties would fit his Car - would that dramatically kill Exhaust flow?
@@Myvintageiron7512 Thank you. I have a 67 Stang that's been sitting due to header gasket. Someone did the work as I did not have garage at the time. My only regret was not stroking the engine (30 over was done). I need to track down the cam specs that I bought, but I'm afraid it may not have been installed ... my new torque converter was not 😱 when I pulled the engine. Is there a way of checking the cam without pulling the engine?
I’ve always used the China wall gaskets and never had a leak or anything I don’t like the using that much rtv too much clean up when you take the intake off and it looks messy
The holes in the block are put there for the casting process. Sand/clay/water are used in the casting of the blocks and heads and the holes allow for easy removal of the casting material.
Yup them 69/70 heads were the best no matter what auto manufacturer it was... those two years were the peak of the muscle car wars before buzkillington had to stick his nose where it didnt belong... 🤷🏽♂️ oh well im just glad its happening again even tho i dont care for these modern engines... im even looking at putting a 351 in my 2012 ecoboost and recently learned how to make it possible with minor mods
I have a 1989 Ford F250 351 Windsor i’m trying to get a little bit more power out of the motor nothing crazy just to help with towing heavier loads what would be your suggestion(s)?
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.

@@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!
I completly disagree, you will always make more power with better flowing heads even with a mild cam, heads that flow well will improve out put at every lift point good flowing heads will make up for less cam, a bigger cam will not make up for poor flowing heads
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

Where is your shop located ?
Phoenix
I’ve always used the China wall gaskets and never had a leak or anything I don’t like the using that much rtv too much clean up when you take the intake off and it looks messy
If you mill the block and or heads you will have intake port leaks the end gaskets will hold the intake up off the heads
So how much power did it make?
320/342
Buried the 7,000 rpm tachometer…
Why doesn't the gasket have the wholes for the front? It is missing a couple holes for front of block.
The holes in the block are put there for the casting process. Sand/clay/water are used in the casting of the blocks and heads and the holes allow for easy removal of the casting material.
the front passahes need to be blocked off so the coolant is forced to the back of the engine
Since you never told us how much power it made I'm going to assume that it didn't make all that much more than stock.
330HP 342 TQ at the wheels runs like a rocket

Since Charlie is sticking with a cam that only has a 450 lift it doesn't make much sense to spend that much money on upgraded heads
I completly disagree, you will always make more power with better flowing heads even with a mild cam, heads that flow well will improve out put at every lift point good flowing heads will make up for less cam, a bigger cam will not make up for poor flowing heads
Start by not using the 70's tech iron heads. It's 2020. Good heads are cheap dude.
Aluminum heads ruin the value of a classic mustang it cuts 30% of the cars value as soon as the hood is raised not a good idea at all actually
@@Myvintageiron7512 Not Only that the Aluminum Heads worth buying, are 3 to 4x the price of decent ported GT40 or 69 351W heads...

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
