Thread: 1000 Hp Ford Fe

Hey Denny W is this 427 SOHC engine an FE ?

Not Denny but yes it is. The SOHC was based on the 427 sideoiler block for which it was designed. It's pretty much the King Daddy of the FE's.

It 's sure a big Daddy in that old Mustang ?

Yep looks like one of the old A/FX cars it's stuffed into. Wicked cool cars those are.

One cool thing about the S.O.H.C. engine in an early 70's Mustang you don't have to pull the engine to change the back plugs.

Dave what size is this FE ? What did you do to the heads are they full ported ? What kind of C/R will it have ? COOL That's not an FE that a 385 429/460 Tell us about it ?

Not an FE, that's a mid 80's 460 EFI long block with the intake that I used to run on my 514 set on it for mockup purposes.

Looks like a big power house ! WOW

Yeah, it was. That intake is for the old style heads..... The newer style heads use a different design intake, much lower, and even with a single carb will allegedly make more power!!!!!! We went back to Super Gas and now run a 501 cube with some ported and flowed Edelbrock heads, single Dominator and a solid lifter cam. Puts 500 horse to the ground and runs 9.90's The intake in the picture was on the engine in the Super Comp car.....Sold the car, kept the engine.....

At work we have a 1994 Ford truck that has the 7.0 ? Ford EFI engine . When I order parts for it the ford guy said it's a 429 . That engine pulls real good .

That engine looks like a small block in there ,with the shock towers gone
Plenty of room for a motor plate ,dry sump and a pro charger ,big headers,.......its not like I have drooled over that mustchero or even went thru engine options on it.......
I even remember when Dave was talkin bout sellin it......I would buy it.

Everything is for sale, Shawn!!!! Should get some more of the suspension components put together for it this spring. Hopefully it will at least be off the chassis table and sitting on all four this summer.

Didn't know anyone liked FE engines here! This is an aluminum block and heads, billet stoker, 496", 427 side oiler. Dynoed 717 hp at 6500 rpm with 680 ft lbs of torque at 4600 rpm. Not bad for naturally asperated!

Very nice setup!!!!--and some very strong numbers, too! Yeah, there's a few of us FE fans around here....
