found that, because of rod length and piston design, 92-00mm: fuel is all that is required. The choice of camshaft is up to you. Horsepower numbers in the 600 to 620 range are attainable with a flat tappel or aggressive hydraulic. A roller cam solid will pull 700plus horsepower. We have worked all a roller-dam package the is very reliable. The cam is an UltraDyne 290 to 300 > degrees, 257 to 266 degree at .050 and 13$ lift based on 1.73 rodter, lobe center is i no degrees Crane rollers are used, but 1 i l l l l l l l l we grind a small slot from the .090 oil hole to the reoessed part and install rollers with the bars facing inward. This restricts the oil to the push rods and upper end, On the oiling system, a stock Ford truck pump, standard volume (19 gpm), works great. Oil pan selection is up to you, but bewrelo insistthatthe pan is 14 GA (.070) material, 7/8 heavy wall pickup (not at front or rear but middle). Also, it should be a minimum of ten quarts in capacity. Canton oil pans are probably the best choice. Cylinderrhead choice is easy. Find a pair of 1968 to 1971 closedchamber small-port (not Cobra Jet heads). Have the seats out with a Serdi machine for 2.190 intake and 1.800 exhaust port. Spend most of your time on the exhaust ports, since that is the weak part of the Ford head. Valves from Racing Engine Valves of Ft. Lauderdale seem to flow the best and are the most reliable. Smith Brothers push rods 8.600x3/8x.065 wall 5 are used. They also have a .040 oil restricter built in. lsky springs, lenrdegree letainers and tendegree locls are used. For a roller cam, we suggest 200 pounds at seat and 500 pounds open. That will turn : 7,500 rpm maximum, although an rpm of 6,000 to 6,500 is where you will prop your i boat so you have a lot of cushion. Schneider stainlesssteel Enduro, 1.75 ratio rockers seem to work the best. On the intake manifold, the Weiand dual-plane 460 or Ford Motorsport singleplane per- form equally as well. it you have the room. add a oneinoh spacer atop the manifold. A Barry Grant 850 annular discharge or 1050 Dominator both perform well for carbure- tion needs. The 540 Ford likes a lot of cam, carbu retor and exhaust, so dont be afraid of stepping up to the maximum. A Mallory 140Qph pump is a good ohokxa to feed this monsterl Remember, it takes one gallon offuel to make 12 hp at a minimum oifwe psi. [WOO-horse engine Wlll use 5833 gph. Our ignition system uses a stock Ford magnetic distributor (bronze gear for roller cam). Advance should be in at 3,000 rpm with 36 to 38 degrees total.
