Engineers somewhere else said they're 2 packs; to paraphrase 'full pack' and 'attack pack'. The one time i saw on tv just looked bad, running across open space with full pack. Sounds like things are getting done right and that's good. Idea of shield is light and for temporary protection. Maybe...

ok.i thought i put in here that
i found out somewhere else this:
429/460 heads intake valve size is close
to Cobra Jet valve size.
both intake & exhaust ports on 429/460 are big although there was something about
working on exhaust ports.
it may not be tons of info but it is something...

i saw some news footage awhile ago
and the troops were running across an airport runway
being sniped at.
where are they at with developing and issuing shields now?
anybody have first hand experience.
is the thinking keep the heavy pack on so
you don't get shot in the back?
if so...

oh i get it denver!
trans type doesn't matter it's a formula.
I've told people, I'm working on it.
this is only forum where anybody has said
word one about it.
Have A Nice Day!

about the 440, jump on it!
regarding 460 and i
'i thought and i bought'
of all things that might have been Ford slogan.
it's 460 for me. case closed.
all that stuff about flow rates, I'm not interested
in cutting things that fine.
if 460 doesn't make power I'm covered...

i'm going to use same method as
these sprint car frames.
main part of frame cross section is rectangular.
whole frame is built on the square.
i'm going to use rectangular tubing.
Have A Nice Day!

let me know if you enjoy the following
'Automotive Engineering' aspects of this that follow.
i'm using the 'mix and match' system of building.
first time i saw 60's Super Modified chassis i thought
i'm going to use those ideas someday.
frame like Lough & Lough.
if frame is...

429/460 are 2.19 intake and Cobra Jet/Super Cobra Jet are 2.25 intake.
ports are equally big on both.
6 grand plus more for .06" bigger intake valve? no thanks.
429/460 gets my vote.
when you said you might try Mopar 440.
a word to the wise.
i'm a refugee from Mopardom.
Resto guys have...

parameters:
1 V8 & automatic
2 Front Mid Engine like Wikipedia pic but engine set back more
3 regular rear axle, like ford 9"
4 front end Super Modified style straight axle, i mean STRAIGHT no drop.
5 4 link locators front & back, once again ala Super Modified
6 delete...

i'm thinking of expanding the 'saving from junkman'.
old outboard motors and stuff like that.
just a couple bucks though!:smile:
are 429-460 heads EQUAL to best 351C heads?
equal to the better ford cast iron heads
except 427 SOHC and 429 big valve cover motor?
just want to be clear on...
mechanical engineers
what engineering features are on
car like this?
it looks like the mark for me.
mid-engine has it's plusses, but
i think i'll stick with engine in front of me.
Have A Nice Day!

one good reason I'm looking into fords too is
if i run across ANYTHING in the future
and it's junk price or 'take it away' i'll
grab it and take it home.
it can be not my make but i'll save it from
being scrapped.

yes there are small...

here it is:
'The '4V' heads had massive ports and valves compared to the '2V'. Both had the valves canted to the sides in a "poly-angle". The '2V' head had a open, almost hemispherical shaped combustion chamber while the '4V' sported a Quench type combustion chamber. The Cleveland has a...
