    I have a near identical motor to this one, and made (543hp) the same power. I swapped the intake to a Super Vic and a custom 830 Holley, but have not dynoed it again, yet. After it made the original numbers I spoke with Edelbrock and AFR, both told me an increase of 35 hp with the SuperVic. The port size on the SV matches the intake ports of the 205 heads, the Vjr is substantially smaller.
    Westech is a great shop. you guys wheel dynoed my '70 Buick

    The AFR heads are worth tons of power on the SBF. If I were going to build a SBF, I'd start with heads from AFR or TFS or Edelbrock or World Products as Step #1. Woot woot!

    Hi Richard, I enjoy watching the Ford 5.0 vid's, these are my favourite motor. I have built a 347 stroker with AFR heads, comp cam, roller rockers etc for my Aussy Falcon its a great engine. I wonder how far you have revved a 347 motor and had it live. Cheers from NZ, Phil

    Cleveland-style heads like wider lobe separation angles because they have magnificent cross-flow between the intake and exhaust valves. Windsor style heads need a tighter LSA, usually about 3-4 degrees tighter for the same results. Take the traditional in-line valve SBC for reference. It has terrible cross-flow and loves a 108 LSA.

    The roller cam had no losses compared to the previous. So many people are building 347 which are substandard ( in the 300 rwhp range ). when even a LS1 with STOCK heads can make 420rwhp/400rwtq and with aftermarkets 460rwhp/420rwtq out of 346 cubic inches. Richard built some great combinations here with the AFR205 heads on 347 cubic inches.

  • @68nitrostang
    @68nitrostang Місяць тому +1

    To increase the average airflow available to the motor you must increase lift to a point where during the cycles it feeds the motor with more average airflow example 1.0 lift 65-70 percent lobe lift rule .65-.7 lift flow numbers are what feeds the motor .650 lift total lift
    .455 lift air flow of the heads . There can be a huge difference between .450 lift and .7 lift ( average
    Air available airflow )
    Especially with AFR heads

    I would love to see an LS style intake manifold made for the sbf. It would make life so much easier for those of us that don't want to put holes in our hoods due to running a traditional tall 4bbl style intake manifold. I have a Maverick Grabber and considered an LS swap just so I could avoid cutting the hood while not compromising on an intake.

    Almost my same combo. I always wanted to see somebody re-do the Engine power Little Black and Blue SBF 347 part 1.5. They did stage 1 in part 1. They were going to switch the combination around to solid roller and supporting combination. They sorta did a part 1and 1/2 when they used some of the supporting piece for stage 2 on the first combo. They stopped before they put the Super Victor on it. I also don’t think it benefitted much from the solid roller cam upgrade. I felt the original hydraulic roller was well matched to the motor. I think with the 950 Holley XP, Super Victor, Lunati? hydraulic roller, 1.65/1.72 rollers(depending on what the motor wanted) & 1 3/4” headers stepped to 1 7/8, I think it would have made 540-550HP or almost 1.6 hp per cube.

    If you bump oil pressure to 90-120 hydraulic acts like solid .

    I think Vizard wouldve recommended a 107 or 108 LC, and a Performer RPM air gap, for a HUGE bump in torque below 5000, and no appreciable top end loss. He mightve also suggested a LOT less duration.

      there would dramatic loss in top end power from a dual plane on this

    Wait, you made over 500 HP in a production 5.0 block and it didn’t split in two? 😱

      The number was around 600hp... It'll crack down the lifter valley, the mains might crack out! The block is THIN.

    Probably get even more with a Holley Sniper EFI. Carbs cannot match an EFI.

      carbs can't match EFI? you might want to review more dyno results

      @@richardholdener1727 I meant in overall performance. You might be able to equal top hp of the engine, but in responsiveness and engine operation EFI has the advantage.
