great read outlaw ....it seems like they field has gained about a second in the quarter since you first started this project ...... but i believe an f3 on this build should still get you there

Yeah no doubt. The cylinder heads were the biggest hold up and still are. They are almost done, but always put off.

Now Dart has nice new block that can go 9.600, 9.800, 10.200 with all the features of the DRCE 2 block. I could put a 4.00 stroke in a 9.600 or 9.800 deck and had a 532 and slightly less rpm.

Yes that is GM based, I doubt we will ever see a short deck Ford beside the new prostock block. Power adder will be Procharger F3-139.

The intake lifters bores are getting moved soon. The valves were rotated much as possible, Intake valve angle is 12 x4 I beleive. Valve covers are just DRCE 2. Rockers are all sorted out. The photo below explains the valve rotation.

The DRCE head 3 has the bottom valve cover rail moved down, this allows the valves to be rotated more.

Update.......Actually there is no progress on my buddy's intake. He gave marcella $1000 up front over a year ago and he hasn't even started building it yet Rolling Eyes

If you order anything from him,make sure it's for a future project Twisted Evil

I agree, BUT,don't string a customer along either. He was told in the beginning it would be no more than 6 months. For the LAST 6 months its been.(quote) you will have it in 2 weeks. be a man of your word is all i'm saying.

Outlaw5.0 March 24th 2012, 12:00 pm

My intake took way longer also. John does awesome work, but he is basically a one man show.

Was that FE intake he posted just the other day not your buddies? It sure looked badass for whoever was getting it.
