X2!

Both the dog bones and plate system look dangerous to me. I keep wondering how either of these would hold up to an over-rev or where you reach the point that the valve train becomes unstable (valve float).

I used to play with 5.0 mustangs and the dog bone system worked fine on those cars, but grinding them that much to fit, seems like a good way to have one break on you.

The speedpro/ford dogbone conversion in project Frankenstein now has about 3000 street miles and has been abused a lot and the lifter conversion is working beautifully and is quiet as a mouse. Has many 5800-6000 rpm hits on it. this combo is a 400 based 461 with Jim Hand ported 6x heads, 237/243 at .050 Howards hydraulic roller, and Holley terminator fuel injection. Im very satisfied at this point and will be doing another one in the near future.

68hotbird, when you do the next one could you do a little write up with some pics, please? I’d like to see exactly how you go about this.

Thanks

Can we get a update on the Ford Spider HT2148 modification, I have purchased all the parts but have not pulled the trigger on installing them yet. Seems that the threads on this modification have cooled down. I won’t to go with the plate at first but
did not see a lot of good reviews on it.
