the motor over heated on woodward last year and i was fed up with it being slow so i put her away and pulled the motor out.... im doing all the work myself on a 9 dollar an hour budget

a bit of a surprise, when I pulled the motor out it was stamped C9OE (69 mustang) I ridge reemed it very gentley and then stone honed her, and finally ball honed the cylinder.
I know that isnt how most all of you would have done this but im kinda poor and young

not pictured but i did a double row comp timing chain setup, alot more to come in the following weeks as I reinstall the motor and install my 6al setup :rockwoot:
 
Plastigage is fine. Reminds me of me putting my 'Cuda engine together! Good job doing it yourself. Do it while you're young.

Had almost same setup in my old 89lx, f303 cam and holly 650 but it ran real good for what it was, scared my buddy in it a few times and would kill the 275s.
 
this thread is ooold lol

update:
the gt40p heads I purchased on ebay were supposed to be new and only installed on a shop owners shortblock to run on a engine dyno just to see if there new equiptment worked..... turns out that was a lie and the guys ebay account is no longer and paypal offered me 25 dollars... heads had bent valves and the machine shop informed me that there was evidence of the valve floating on the ones that were bent

so now that Ive paid for the heads and also paid for them to be fixed and installed the proper seat pressure springs for a hyd flat tappet theyre finally back on the motor and im picking up the headers from the summit store in macon georgia tommorow on my way home from daytona beach

hoping for a little under 300 wheel and over 300 tq
 
thats cool ya rebuilt your own motor,great learning experiance.
i m o should hve went with a newer roller motor,they have forged pistons and the roller cam makes more power.
i have 302 roller gt-40 heads went 12.90 on motor/11.35 on spray lookin to go 11.0 or faster with the same combo.
good luck with the build:bigthumb:
 
I have a canon digital rebel xt however those were edited later on and taken with a nikon cool pix 4600

the short block is out of a 69 mustang or cougar and is all forged and seems to be a thicker casting

the rods are forged and are alot bigger than a E7 as are the pistons
