Building a 425ci Windsor (418w kit with .060 bore instead of .030). The kit is made by Probe Industries. I will be using AFR 185 heads with ~10.5 compression ratio. Trickflow EFI intake. Due to being built more for torque than horsepower, im using a lighter CompCams 35-514-8 roller cam with linkbar lifters

To handle the engine, the E4OD tranny will be rebuild since it needs it anyways due to slipping reverse. rear axle is a converted 10.25 Sterling with a custom driveshaft.


this is the block i will be using which was out of a 90s E-series van with low miles. I originally had it for my 88 Bronco and didnt want to use it because its not a roller block. I decided to use it and use linkbar lifters that way i can still drive the truck while i build the engine.

block is bored .060 over and im using ARP main studs and Clevite bearings
