Re: New block

would think that the most popular use of this block would be for a stock rebuild, or very close to it. If the block is supplied with a 3 5/16 bore then it becomes a 258 ci engine. Angle mill the...

Re: New block

What I'd like to do is build on with the least amount of after market "Stuff", and see how it runs and what improvement there is over the original? It might not like it's new name.

Re: New block

Thanks Henry, well said. What Tod proposes to do should make MOST people happy. I wonder what the officials will say when a new block, brakes an old record. I still think there will be more 268...

Re: New block

For a rebuild, it would be a logical move. All you'd need is just a set of pistons. Now all we have to do is have Egge make up a set of 3 3/;8 x 3 4/4 pistons with Metric rings

Re: New block

I look at this as a replacement for the original from 1932 through 1953 engines. Should a person who wanted to rebuild his present 1938 through 1953 engine and found his original lock to be NG. He...

Re: New block

I don't think you can improve the ports for a street engine. Plus there is more to porting than just making it bigger. One of the best running street engines was in Richarrds from fls 276 53 HT. with...

Re: New block

Some information on ex ports, and Flat dogs intake port. I have trouble posting pics, but you get a chance to see some of our work. In the latest intake port the waterjacket over the intake port is...

Re: New block

My grandson helped me flow am intake manifold using a computer program. I'm sure he could do the same with these ports. I'll forward this to him and ask, how he did it.

Re: New block

I don't think the holes in the head will make any difference, this will allow a much better intake flow to the cylinder. I like it. Just think, for the averaged guy that wants to build a nice engine...

Re: New block

I don't think the center exhaust port need any changes. Using a flow bench proves that it's the best flowing port in the block. Just check the firing order.

Re: New block

Now, I think this id getting out of hand. Moving the valves, means mpving the lifters, which means replacing the CAM. I try to think out of the box here and belive that you can't make a silk purse...

Re: New block

Henry
You make the point for me. If I can get 125 HP from a 268 ci stock engine. Then a built 276 might make 200. It all depends on the new blocks ports. However, If you can get a good reliable...

Re: New block

While everybody seems to be concern with the potential power they can get out of the Block, I look at it for a different application. It would be nice to get a block that would provide exceptional...

Re: New block

I like the idea of keeping the valve/lifter area stock. Some modes to the water jacket in this area will help those that want to search for more power happy. As for the center exhaust port, it's the...

Re: New block

AS for the lifter bores. Normally, we use Chevy valves when using a cam with more than .350 Lift. This is because you can't get the Johnson extra long lifters. The longer valve stem keeps the...

Re: New block

I don't think adding oil to the lifter bores is a practical idea, and will offer nothing to the reliability or performance to the engine. Considering the fact that under stock conditions lifter bore...

Re: New block

Here's a modification that might solve the 21 stud issue. If the deck thickness is increased to 1/2" along the bottom of the block, then you can drill the 4 holes needed for the 21 stud head. ...

Re: New block

You might want to talk to John Lawson, he wrote the book "Flathead facts" probably knows more about these blocks than all the rest of us put together.

I know the blue prints are available From Ford, because several people here have them. Just check with Ford, they were very helpful when I was there back in the late 80's.

Re: New block

Tod
Yes the 24 stud block is a derived from the 21 stud block because of it increase in bore size. the stud at the center of the lower cylinder bore was too close to the bore. so it was re moved and...

Last year I got a call for a block for a rebuild for a large 38 truck. I didn't have any early blocks for sale. A few months later I met him and he said he bought an 8bA block for 700 dollars. I...
