NEW 598 C HEAD MONSTER

Flashed up my new C headed 598 today. First time. Big thanks to Charlie Evans for the beautiful head and manifold work. Lem kicked in with a new A460 block, custom cam, lifters and Danny Bee. My machine shop guy at High Performance Engines in Vancouver BC did up the block and made everything fit. This thing has 14.5 to one, and cranks over like it has no compression. Revs like a small block, idles lower, runs cooler and pushes the converter about 500 rpm higher than the old 572 A head we ran last year.

Cant wait to get it to the track.

Helpful hint. Copper coat plugs up a 5 micron oberg filter screen. Just sayin.

Should be a Hoss,Boss. Good luck and have fun.

next time you start it, do a burnout........

Thanks BossHoss for the kind words.

Charlie

Nothin like a new fresh 10 liter Ford!
Enjoy!

I love it already Frank, havent even made a pass yet.

Dean,
You still going to run S/G, or are you leaning towards a different class?

Still planning on running Super Gas with NHRA but this gives me lots of options.

Doorslammer, Top Sportsman, etc.

Should be fun.


598 C head

Make sure it has a FULL race cam installed brfore making a FULL pass. If you are running 1/8 mi. 3/4 cam will be sufficient. Have fun and good luck brother.

See you there,hope the rain stays away

You'll love it Dean ! I wish we would have came out with our 600 instead of our untried 712 at mission , 7.30-40's @ 190's mph would have been better that what the 712 ran
Frank

pretty sweet setup

Dean,

Spare valve springs went out of here on the 17th. They should be at Peace Portal now.

Uncle Charlie

The next time I need a cam I'm callin Rick! I didn't know it was so simple
