New guy from D-Town

Hi Everyone, I'm from the Detroit area. I found this site from doing my research on building a 598" A head monster. I have an 86 mustang notch that has a 351 0.060 over with Vic Jr heads and NOS. Car has been 10.80's in the 1/4 foot breaking it N/A. I plan on building the 598 and possibly dropping it in next fall.

So far here is the plan for the 598" monster.
A460 block or eliminator
Trick Flow 360cc CNC A-460 heads
Trick Flow A-460 intake
Pro systems Carb ( will get with them on size)
Custom bullet cam ( not sure on specs yet will need help with this)
Diamond Pistons (coated and gas-ported)
Eagle 6.8" H-beam rods
Eagle 4.5" Forged crank

So far I have the crank and rods, steadily purchasing parts as the budget permits. Some things I need some help with: Any other single carb cast intakes for the A heads, And someone to spec me a cam for the combo that knows the BBF with A type and similar heads.

Thanks---Brad

Also awesome forums! A-lot of great info here!

I am shooting for 950 Hp N/A and will hit it with a max of 250 NOS

I will be running this combo in my mustang on true 10.5 tires and true stock location suspension.

Get with Lem Evans on here about a cam, I'd say your n/a goal will be exceeded with ease.............

Detroit area!!! Where about? Welcome to the site, you'll find a lot of great knowledge on here (as you already have I see). There are a lot of great people on here, you'll get to know who's who pretty quick I'm sure.

I forgot to mention, if you want to do it locally Randy M or "rmcomprandy" is here in MI and could spec the cam for you I'm sure. Here is his website:

Thanks I will give him a call. Also what can an A-head big inch BBF with single carb cast intake make N/A. I have read of some builds with sheet metal intakes and dual carbs making over 1100 N/A. I have not seen any one with the Trick Flow 360cc cnc A-head and single carb cast intake yet.

Thanks, I am in the Downriver area. I go up to telegraph a lot and hang out at the OCB on Saturdays when I can get away from work. I put my mustang together at the end of the season this year. I will run it next year with the smallblock until I can stuff the bigblock in. I was going to do a big small block, then I came to my senses and said why not a bigblock. Started doing my research was thinking about the BBC in a mustang, but I hate doing that, and looked at the BBF and I cant believe the power per dollar you get with these, the 385 series BBF is a great engine package. I was even thinking of putting the 598 bbf in a 67 Camaro but I would rather see Ford power in a Ford car.

Sounds like a killer build...I'd say you will go well past 950 hp with that combo. Post up some pics when you get a chance.
Welcome to the Forum.

Not only do they make easy power cheaply, but they are easy to build. And fun at that if you ask me, its so easy a 16 year old could do it Hope to see you at the track if you ever come out to Milan for an event, should be a healthy engine when all is said and done.

1,000 + if it is a high compression engine.

Thanks, with the pistons I plan on getting from diamond I am expecting the static ratio to be 14.3 to 1

Its really a week long event, its fun to go the week before because you have time to look at more cars and its not too over crowded.

How are you coming with your build? Any updates? Welcome to the site...

nothing new will be buying more parts after tax time.

Here are some pics of my mustang.
