- Ford 557 build with basic tech info and specs. Runs 9.42 at 140mph first time out in 3400 lb 1967 Falcon. Stock suspension, 28x9 slicks, Coan C6 Trans, 4,500 9" converter, 9" rear with 3.50 Elite gears.
Very nice build, im a big block ford guy myself. Nice to see some people still running this ole engines
Badass build! I have four Glastron Carlson 460 BBF jet boats in the barn to restore. I'm 30 minutes from Kaase's shop, so at least one of the builds will get some sweet Kaase parts.
I have built several 460 Ford engines and really enjoy making these engines perform. The parts in the baby are the best around and I wish I would have had some of it for my builds.
Hey check your oil pump for cracks, noticed the stem type on it. Get a Kaase oil pump with the thick flat mounting stem. The stock type are prone to cracking, and a 557 deserves the insurance. You got Kaase heads so use the good Kaase oil pump.
Nice Build Ron.
Very impressive build.
Thanks for sharing.
Take care, Em.
Bad ass
Can’t wait for more videos!! Was really eyeing the P-51 or SR-71’s for my 72 mustang
Thanks for sharing!!👍👍👍🏁🏁
You and Gearhead Rob 👍 up.
Good video deserves a sub, built a similar engine a few years ago with A heads instead did well,
Appreciate it man!!
Great video, and thanks. Try to stay hot on your builds/videos. I remember shutting down that track on a similar build around 2004. "D9" sounds like a 1979 block? Mine was a D0VE, thus a 1970 block. I also believe there is more power to be found through timing and jetting, or maybe shift points/converter. Your tune now is easily north over 880 hp, and about 750 torque.
Super nice engine , that should make some serious reliable horsepower forsure, Good Luck dude💯💯💯👍🏻😉
The only thing that worries me is the engine stand brother. Amazing build! Got forbid that engine stand tips over
Great Result, nice clean work...and later on you can do more head work,etc... go faster....
Always get Ross pistons and Hastings piston rings and titanium valve's for endurance and steel valve guides
The ports done by Daren Morgan. They will make Big power
Awesome build long ways from Mr.Shestags shop class and shaving pistons on small engines 😂
That was so much fun! Where it all began....lol
where did you find that mafia intake ? we have been looking for one for over 2 years\
And use Aluminum super stock heads Ford sells it complete in a Crate that makes 655 hp on pump gas
Nice build. D9=79. I prefer a rear sump pan. Torque seems to pull the oil away from the pickup on front sump pan. Good luck. Have fun
Thanks Brent, I appreciate it. D9 was the casting number on blocks made from 1979-1997. I would like to use a rear sump pan, but stock chassis requires front sump.
@@Ronthegearguy E9=1997
@Ronthegearguy still great build my friend
@@Ronthegearguy I'm thinking you should be over 900 horse power
@@Ronthegearguy 1000hp 800fpt
You Can buy a bigger one complete from Ford Crate. 4,5 x4.5 all forged 10 . 5 pump gas or blow it complete motor 19 Grand with a warranty
Beautiful motor. Didn’t dyno the engine ?? Should produce 800hp/720 ft/lbs no problem.
Hello Ron: Mid-9s on a 9" tire? Leaf spring suspension? Wow! Question: The spring spec for 0.800 lift cam, is that nominal? You mentioned that cam gross lift was 0.780ish. A little tight, or is spring bind near 0.900ish? Thanks for video Ron.
Thanks for the kind words! The springs are good for .800 lift with an extra .060 clearance before coil bind. You just wouldn't want to go more than .800 lift. Thanks!
I love this build. With out getting into exact figures, what is a ball park figure to duplicate this build? I am very interested in doing one I just checking to see if it might be with in my means.thanks for the video.
Thanks for the kind words! I haven't added it all up, but somewhere in the 10-12k range.
@@Ronthegearguy Thanks bro that’s kind of what I thought. 10-15 so yeah I got to get a side hustle first lol thanks again.
Nice build. I am currently working on a 545. Do you recall the head stud part number?
Thank you sir. Head studs Arp PN: 255-4301
Just a question....was your rotating assembly internally, or externally balanced?
Hi, internally balanced
Kasse makes a super duty oil pump. You should've installed one.
I haven't had any issues with the stock pumps
@@Ronthegearguy I heard about the bolt flanges breaking on the stock pump. Look up the Kasse part. It's a beefed up design.
What was the mph on the pass and what does car weigh? Awesome build, love to see it.
141mph at 3400lbs. Thanks!
Why did you not use Fords no jacket new block and go with 4.5 inch bore and make a Chevy eater with 4.5 x 4.5 bore and stroke?
Like to see that in a 69 mustang!!! 🤪
What size intake valve?
2.375" Intake valves
What did the car run ?
9.36 @142 1/4, 5.92 @116 1/8
What lifters were used in this build
Crower lifters
What’s stock number/model of lifters
66217-16
Why 21 thou on top and 24 on second ring?
Hi, the ring manufacturer recommends using more gap on the second ring to prevent pressure buildup behind the top ring which causes ring flutter.
@@Ronthegearguy oh that makes real good sense.
Thank you for the education.
I am really into your assembly here and also very interested in how, where and how much power it makes. Beautiful Work BTW. I was really hoping to see it Injected instead of carb fed but I’m sure you have a reason for that. Fantastic looking engine Man!
Crank girdles are a waste of money, its not a chevy
Can't hurt. At least the crank will probably stay close to the block if it tries coming out.
If the ford made 4 bolt mains and steel cranks they woukdnt need all that , 2 bolt main nodular crank is def not factory high performance
It's cheap insurance! I don't plan to die in the next year, but I have life insurance!😂😂😂
What good does it do without any extra bolts?
@@David-er1cy I've used 2 bolt blocks with cast cranks shifted them in the 7500 rpm range never hurt one my old engine was 460 cast crank stroked to 4 inch with 6.535 BBC h beam rods 2 bolt block saw 7500 every pass even hit 8500 a few times ran it for 10 years never a problem
Making about 750hp
Should be around 800hp
D9 would be 79
Yes, Ford used the D9 block casting number from 1979 to 1997.
Very nice, dude. Too bad it has that front sump. Under hard acceleration (which is definitely going to happen), the oil will slosh back and away from the oil pickup. Spun bearings are common with this problem. Sorry about that. Makes me sad to know how much work you put in to be faced with that.
They ran these motors back in the 70s in super stock. You put a 3 quart accumulator on the floor and that thing will run 7500 all day long with the wheels in the air and not have an oil pressure problem.
If Ford would not have been so CHEAP they would have designed these with a 4 bolt main. Cap shift is a huge problem.
but ford never made a big block or small block and in face for has have many block designations but never a big or small block as ford has had many classifications but none be smaller and bigger than any other classification
Technically it is a big block. Even John Kaase calls it a big block. Maybe you should tell John Kaase he is wrong, I'm sure he'd love for you to enlighten him with your great knowledge of Ford blocks hahaha
what?
I have been building these engines for over 35 years. They will not produce the power that a 454 Chev will make. And that drives me crazy.
Why wouldn't you use a460 heads? Kaase are nice but a460heads are a step up.
I would, but my car has a stock engine compartment. The valve covers would probably hit the shock towers, lol. The sr71 heads are the best factory style heads
