Leaving my FE behind

Well in February I had a rod bolt break in my FE 487ci. Since I have to start over anyway's might as well step over to a 460. Basically I'm taking my dad 503ci with Cobra jet heads out of his 77 Mustang II and sticking it in my car. It went the best of 5.72@121 in his 2600lbs car. Since I'm going to be driving both cars I rather put the motor that makes more Horsepower in his car since it a full chassis car with big tires. My boss and I are going to build a 528ci with Ford A Heads

Also hopefully tomorrow or wedensday we will be testing are buddies 600ci C headed motor on the dyno

You wont regret going with the 385 series.
Big, robust, powerful!!

Soory for your bad luck with the FE, but keep us posted as you build the new motor and run the cars, let us know some #'s

sorry to hear about the FE, I have never seen a rod bold break like that. Is that an arp?

Yes it an APR bolt. They were 8740 and now that this happen I've been told I should of thrown those rod bolt away and upgrade to L19 rod bolts.

The motor in my dad car goes low 5.70's@121 in the 1/8 and 9.0's in good weather down the 1/4 mile and last time out a month or so ago it went 5.81@120 1/8 and 9.15@148. That's at 2600lbs and my car weight 3350 with the FE so I hope it runs good in my car.

So the A headed 528ci I hope runs good. Once I run both cars down the track I'll posted numbers.
