Which Alum Cylinder head?
I am looking at Finally building a 460 for my 1965 Ford Pickup. I want a low 6 sec truck in the 1/8 mile yet i want it to be able to run upward of around 130-150 mph on top end. Transmission will be either a C4 automatic or possibly a lighter weight C6. my question is this,
which alum cylinder head is best for around 600 hp NA. I do plan to add some Nitrous but i want that to be in addition to what i will have NA.
Specs include
stock crank, eagle rods, after market pistons, Roller Cam/Lifters, Roller rockers, electric water pump, Engine Plate, not sure on the gear in the rear end yet.
I have ran the Ford port blue Thunders in the past and liked them, made around 600 hp with those, but to my understanding the Kaase P51 heads are supose to be better??
thanks in advance.

I am hoping so. I have been out of going to the track for a long while (Raising kids etc), so hopefully it will be something me and my boys can work on together, play at the track together and the best part is shut a few mouths around here that tend to be more on the shevy side of the fence and honestly get quite annoying at times lol

Is this engine going into a stock chassis?

You gong to need more than 600hp to make a factory truck chassis go that fast.
But P51s with some compression and a roller cam will get you well over 700 at 466"

I wasn't asking in regard to hp requirements. I was trying to imagine driving a '65 F100 upwards of 130 to 150 mph. Without some major chassis and aero upgrades, that might be more of a ride than planned. The last time I drove one of those, 85 mph was plenty thrilling. Turns out that leaf springs, Twin-I-Beams and the aero of a barn door weren't aimed at the superspeedway.

you mean you wouldn't want to run 130 plus in a old truck on stock suspension
I think this ol truck could use a C/V swap front end and a coil over rear with ladder bars

I don't usually say this, but for what you want to do a stroker kit makes a lot of sense.

had a 68 f100 bbf
Drove a bbf 68 F100 for years back in the day, a real hand full. Update the front to a rack, disc brakes the rear with a ladder or 4 link and get it low.maverick wrote:Is this engine going into a stock chassis?

Mine was flat tappet. If your after big numbers then go roller. It is expensive but any motor going fast is. I ran MSD with a rev limter long ago so I had no problems with flat tappet. What ever cam you choose I would go with a custom grind. Parts for bbf fords were not around wide spread in the 1980 an 1990 so you get custom set up now easy.Lem Evans wrote:Flat tappet or roller cam ?

Go aftermarket heads, lots of years of development are done.

I know the old truck is cool but for how fast you wanna go I would find a older Ranger and gut it and put the BBF in it, you will be way ahead in the weight category, or a stroker and a front clip will get you there too!!!! happy building
