Thanks for posting. Kinda painful to watch the host with the long pauses. He Could’ve asked a lot more questions but a lot of good info there volunteered by mr Morgan still.

You're welcome. Yes that's a 2-3 dayer. I want to know how much HP the block can hold?

You think that one was hard try this one. Lot of decent content from almost original 429/460 and the others, OG Larry Olsen on Pro Stock and Ford. Could use less gab also. I thought it was worth the watch though.

I believe Clint Neff went out on E3 by .0028 after qualifying #1 at 5.523 at 211 if I read the stat's correctly?

I think he did great and will only get better since he just switched rides.

Great article

I have to wonder, since several people in that article are claiming Ford will recast these heads, if Ford still has the casting tools to recast them? Also does anyone at know someone at Ford who might be able to confirm?

^ JC50 For Sale. 1,440HP at 528 CID

A quick update from my end, I reached out to Ford to see if they would be willing to recast the JC50 or JC51 heads and blocks, and it turns out they are not willing to do so, unless you are willing to pay an EXTREMELY sizeable cost upfront. So if there was anyone hoping to see these back in the Ford Catalog, I would not count on it.

What Is the number?

Actual Page 98 has spec's from 2010.

^ $6,100 dollars for either block then.

Heads $1,665.95/JC50 and $2,279.00/JC51, I believe Each and Bare.

That one on Fakebook is looking like a deal now at $40K OBO in 2023 money.

Ford wants an upfront commitment of several hundred thousand dollars just for the retooling and a multi year deal worth more than that.

Yea that isn't a bad deal honestly...

If I hit the Lotto and wanted that kind of N/A Ford HP I would snag it Immediately.

Sorry Stanger, I misread your question, totally. I thought you were after part numbers for NOS search's.

I have a full size plastic one ...lol. It was used for a display in the past.

I am not sure about this or if you have seen it, 4Speed? It's the first time I have run across it and am just passing it on.

I did come across this one, but I do not have the money up front to buy this particular piece as of now.

I believe next week at Bandimere these heads will be running on the motor of the OP...wishing him the best of luck.

So that's what your secret project is. It looks awesome. Guess that's what you needed all those crankshafts for. You building a B/A ?
I got my A/R Boss Hemi running. Waiting on a clutch.
Are you going to make it to Gateway for the big comp shootout in the spring?

Kent

OP, Hear anything on the JC50 rumor?

I can see why it may be a surprize, it would be nice though.

That one for 36K, if it's not in the works looks nice.

The 59K ones, that's rough.

I wish a small CNC company would get some backing from Ford to Revise A Billet Block Heads and Crank for the 4,000+RVW World with Ford Part Numbers. With and With Out Water!

540 to 580 CID seems like a sweet spot but 528 CID has been Built for {The Pull/Ect. Trucks} with the Ford Parts and would fit the bill too.

I would be curious what JC50 rumor you're talking about? If it's what I am thinking or if it's something else entirely?

I looked into Bandimere about that time and did not see anything mentioned.

Could have read to much into it, what you got?

Either way it would be nice to see someone break out those pieces listed.
