Hello Ben & to all Subscribers watching...Every morning I wake up 1 hour earlier just to have my morning coffee & to WATCH, LISTEN & LEARN from the MASTER!! The schooling that we all enjoy is PRICELESS! The information & knowledge that Ben SHARES with all of us is INVALUABLE! I always tell the young ones out there - YOU CAN'T TEACH EXPERIENCE! You GAIN it over TIME & by absorbing the SHARED knowledge that is being handed to you on a silver plater...Having such a MENTOR like Ben is a "GOD" sent...Watch, Listen & Learn - Like, Subscribe & Share!!! Thank you BEN.. Keep the Videos coming... Gregory NJ
Thank you and I am deeply humbled by your comments and it makes me feel good to know I am helping in many ways for people wanting more information to also better themselves. I remember the words, good teacher was once a good student! Thanks again...
Ben,THANK YOU for this info!!! You are a TRUE engineering GENIUS!! I hope every Ford guy out there is taking notes! I know I am! This is the info that us Blue oval guys have be lacking for many years and your insight is absolutely PRICELESS!! Thank you brutha!🏁
As always, excellent content. Thankyou for bestowing some of your wisdom upon us. I hope to contact you next month and buy a little of your time. Merry Christmas! Jerry in Montana
Awsome again Ben. I think you have told us about pulling the stroker crank out of the turbo Windsor before not that I mind hearing it again. Guys always talk about how much power the make on a dyno but on a street car I've always found the torque curve to be the most important and gearing the car to take advantage of it. Please keep going Ben as soon as you release a new video I am onto it. I cant help it. Thanks.
Agree with you torque on the street makes you almost unbeatable specially stop light to stop light grand prixs! lol I once had a big stroke turbo SBF and it was a beast even rolling in any gear I can fry the tires! lol Those were fun times.
Thank you for sharing such good information, it is really useful for me your videos. I like the simple way that explains such complicated things... my respects to you.👍
Love this, I just switched from my dads ported gt40’s to a set of early TFS fac heads in my 85 thunderbird. But I’m keeping the gt40’s for my future mustang build I firmly believe dads ported heads would put the smack down on my tfs heads.
Awesome video brother. Always a pleasure sir. Great talkn with ya buddy. Can you do a tech video on camshaft specifications definitions and go thru and explain what to look for certsin applications such as racing or street us. Lobe speration, duration and advancing retarding....ect. i could learn more on this subject. Ive learned a whole lot from you on combustion chamberquench, piston ring package location on piston, compression ratio , durstion and saturation ect.... im hooked on your knowledge brother. Thanks for being there for us vets brother. Hooah. Proud to call you my friend sir. Hooah
Matt, thanks as well and I will doing a video mentioning you and your Pops next time around here in a couple of days. Got to bed @ 2:30am because my computer has been acting up and could not post poop. lol Anyway I finally got these one after many hours.
I will be coming up perhaps tonight or early tomorrow about intake manifold development that I did for the 4.6 engines which started a trend and it will be an eye opening video.
@@benalamedaracing2765yep ill be looking out for this one for sure as it may give me a few pointers and tips on things that I can do to my vic jr intake that Im porting for my 347. Thanks for the heads up. I gain the most useful info from you. Once the headers come off again im going to try that drilling a tiny hole in the first bend of the primaries trick you mentioned in the very first video I watched of yours and havnt missed one since. Hope u had a good christmas
So for my 351w in the truck. I was thinking about going with these AFR heads. Cylinder Heads, Race Porting, Aluminum, Assembled, 58cc Chamber, 205cc Intake, Ford, Small Block, Pair. Stock 351w with just an baby ISKY boost Cam. Long tubes and a Vortech. Unless you have another head to suggest. Thanks.
I have the exhaust port plates which help until they get rusted and starts breaking up. Maybe if it was made of stainless steel 304 it should last. Port stuffers and are they in the USA?
My little Mustang II weighs in at 2450 lbs, and I shift the 332" stroker at 8500 rpm. All motor. The manually shifted C4 Dynamic Racing trans works good. That little motor sounds pretty good driving through tunnels. lol p.s. I was on the streets back in the Mustang vs GN days with that same II, though it was usually Fox body cars racing against them. I'm not sure if the GN crowd even knew what a Mustang II was when I raced them.
I've seen dyno tests comparing identical heads in aluminium and iron. Aluminium made more power. Cast iron under heavy load was glowing and causing pre detonation.
I was referring to street compression ratios and there cast iron dominates. Anything pure competition level high compression, aluminum would definitely excel no doubt about that. Obtw, on a flowbench and some dyno tests with street compression ratios cast iron will usually always lose but the track says differently. As I stated on this video.
Never heard which went faster, the 9-1 tfs headed engine out the 10.5 factory headed windsor. That story just disappeared about midway through the video. I like to hear e.t and mph of both. Makes easier to understand the final story
Casey, sorry I did not make it very clear on the difference. The iron head exhibited superior 60ft times all the way to the 1/8 mile. Then thru the finish @ the 1/4 mile the breathing of the big valve aluminum headed TFS-TW out pulled it to the finish line almost by 2 mph! It gave too much on the lower half of the run due to what I stated inferior heat retention of the aluminum heads.
Ben, I'm a big supporter of these "Talks". This kind of thing only comes with EXPERIENCE.
I look forward to the next one. :)
Thanks for supporting my channel sir!

Your welcome Ben, & deserving of giving your time to ALL of us out there supporting the channel & hobby!

Thanks as well Donald.
Ben, i sure i hope i get to meet you someday, your talks are amazing and full of knowledge. Thank you for sharing what you know!!!!
Thank you sir and I meet many usually at the racetracks and we go from there bench to actual racing! lol
Thank you for your wisdom. It is apprecieated.
Thanks!

Jerry, thanks for supporting my channel and Merry Christmas!
That rev at 0:49 what a tough motor! Appreciate the knowledge and education Ben
I build mostly normally aspirated engines which is more complicated when you really get into the details. Very challenging most of all.
Ben you are very thorough and we all appreciate hearing your content.
I appreciate that and thanks for supporting my channel!

Wonderful channel.I never get enough of your wealth of knowledge and the variety of awesome race cars you field.
Thanks sir and appreciate the feedback.
Love the stories Ben. Thank you!
Great to teach from experience instead of an opinion. Thanks!

Can't wait to watch this one love you video's
Thanks sir!
@@benalamedaracing2765 no thank you for sharing all your wisdom I'm a Ford guy all I own is Ford's

Cool story of your dad buzzing the town, showing off for his lady.
I enjoy these head videos , im absorbing all of the info that your putting out. I cant wait for more of these head videos

Ben, best comparison of combinations talk ever.. 👍
Michael, Thanks as well for supporting my channel thru your viewership!
Thanks for knowledge!
My pleasure and thanks for supporting my channel!

Sounds good and about right! Use the longest runners that they make and that will boost the torque range big time over a shorter runner manifold!
Great stories !!!
Glad you like them!
Thanks for the good info sir.
Thanks!
Thanks Ben
Thanks!
Ben, have you done any work with 4v Cleveland heads with price motorsports port stuffers?
I have the exhaust port plates which help until they get rusted and starts breaking up. Maybe if it was made of stainless steel 304 it should last. Port stuffers and are they in the USA?
Thanks ben great knowledge
Any time and thanks for your support!

They the GN guys just know a Fox mustang and not much else! lol
Very few Mustang II's was ever raced but they are out there for sure.
It always great to make more power lol.
Thanks!
Hi Ben how can we get a hold of you to access an engine build with you?
I am retired and retarded so far! lol Anyway what do you plan on building at the moment?
Cool , sound like big mothership fly off track . 😆 🤣
😅
