Reply to "Engine performance"

The very first time I drove this thing it smoked like the devil, overheated and puked everywhere. The block was already .040 so I elected to re-sleeve all 8 holes to try to keep it running cooler with a standard bore. This is the first time I have done this because I always just would throw a block in the scrap bin. Viable Cleveland blocks have got hard to find and after market ones are moocho denaro. Standard pistons were hard to get as well I have found. If and when I build another SB ford it will be a Windsor, parts are somewhat cheep and widely available. Getting 600 HP can be got without hardly trying. A Hemi headed 429 would be bad ass, has anyone shoehorned one in one of these cars?
