Hey hey, I've been lost in the great chasm between birth and death!

Response to Where have you been?......

 

Not sure I'll ever get a handle on modern life. I'll email ya with the details.

Well, this time I fired the new motor up in the car instead of on a stand. Decided not to go to the engine dyno so in the car it went. As for cooling, I decided my last 428 was really a 390 block bored way too far over. I think that's why it's cooling was marginal. My new block is definitely a 428 and I got custom pistons so I only had to bore as much as it needed and no more. It's 0.025" over at a 4.155" bore. I think that's the key difference between the two 428's rather than the hard blok. As for the ultimate test: 105F Kansas heat in August sitting in traffic we'll have to wait and see. It looks good so far.

How's the T-Bird?

Paul
