460brevill · February 27th, 2008, 03:37 PM

Vinyl66 · February 27th, 2008, 06:17 PM

anyone ever try patriot sbf heads?

with those and comp cams xtreme energy 284H cam kit, rpm air gap intake, and a holly 4150 750cfm carb would be just over 2k. any good for 2k?

nba1341 · February 27th, 2008, 06:19 PM

your installing this yourself correct?

Vinyl66 · February 27th, 2008, 06:22 PM

yea ive put together and tore apart several engines. just never built my own by selecting parts and shit

Vinyl66 · February 27th, 2008, 09:53 PM

GTsetGO · February 27th, 2008, 09:55 PM

emailed my boy, says he is going to try and talk to the shop to figure exactly what they did

Save your money on the Patriot heads. I haven't heard a single good thing about them.

Yeah, I've heard you're not going to see much power gain becuase they have a poor runner and port design. I've also heard they're fragile if you ever get them hot, or have any other problems. There's a reason they're cheap.

I'm sure they would have to better than stock though

overheat one time and beware.i would rather have a set of gt40 and put big valves in them.

are all the gt40 heads the same? b/c i know a guy that has a iron set out of a 90's bronco

Just finished my 289. I used a set of ProComp alum heads with 190cc runners and 2.02/1.60 valves and it runs great. They ran about 1000 for the set. They arent "AFR's" but great value for the money and have given me no problems. The imports hate me haha. But then again, I have no concerns about overheating due to a custom radiator that only ran me about 300 bucks. Making about 350 horse on NA cam. Alot of fun!

so you like the procomp heads? ive heard some bad stories about their castings

Head a Good Build:

All you need for real power is more fuel and air per Bang.

331 Stroker kit for 30 over 289 $849 fordstroker.com

Cam : SUM-k3606 234/244 .520/.544 rpm 3400/6800 $89.95 needs stall on C4's
Carb: HLY-0-80670 670cfm $369
Intake: Air Gap EDL-7521 $239
Heads Procomp 190 cc $759

MustangOne · March 9th, 2008, 02:45 PM

That build will will get to the 400 hp number for $2305.95
and also you can spray this motor. Just remember the more power you make the easier it is the find your weak links in your drive train. with 190 cc heads you need to go with a flat top piston to get 10.5 compression. with set up I would use a 3:55 gear for you rearend. and fit a 27" tall tire or bigger under your 1966 stang. Good Luck

zers · March 9th, 2008, 02:55 PM

he's already said he wants to keep stock displacement though, he's trying to make 400 with 289 cubic inches, not 331

MustangOne · March 9th, 2008, 02:56 PM

Then what is the point. I would like to Get 32 mpg out of my Superstang.
