Whats the most reliable power Ford got out of a Tunnel Port engine? It seems like the bottom ends of the FEs were a problem.
A guy at our track just blew up a 427 side oiler with some factory looking aluminum heads heads. It ran 9.30s in a Mustang. He has a SOHC 427 also but it is just too valuable to race. There is a lot in common with the Pontiac and the FE, 4 head bolts and inline valves. But I think Pontiac has passed it up in reliable power.
I like any idea of finishing what Pontiac had going. All the new parts is just way cool.
You have to have some sort of love for the Pontiac engine to do what Lynn has done, thanks.
BTW, BBCs still idle like a can full of rocks.
Another guy at out track just blew up his 454. He has had 3 engines in the same time period I have had my 455 running the same low 11 times like me in the same car. Only I do it with pump gas and he race gas. Freaking unreliable Pontiacs, rod chuckers!!
