Re: New Exhaust For Center Dump Exhaust Manifolds In A 1965 F-250

I was wondering what the outlet hole size is on those center dump manifolds, eg 2.25" or 2.50", and what it was on the later rear dump manifolds you didnt use?

Re: 430 Merc runs 14.02 at 101.5, 420hp

This is the same car, from 2006
14.42 at 99.7

1.8mph slower so coulda been better weather for the 101.5 or some engine work not sure.

Looking for Venturi & Throttle Bore on 430 2-barrel

Looking for Venturi & Throttle Bore on 430 2-barrel All I can find is in the 1960 Merc Shop Manual, says 13/64 Venturi which seems tiny to feed a 430 even at 300-315hp. I wondered if it was a mistype & they meant 13/32 but that would be a little big, about like the 500cfm at 3.0" Hg Holley 2bbl that...

1958 Export 383 and 430 specs

Hi there, I read about the "spacers" for the 383 and 430 in 1958, lowering compression from 10.5 to 7.14 or 7.25 respectively. I am wondering if anybody has the ratings (Torq and HP) for these low-CR "export" engines. Not that ratings are always accurate, but they might give a feel for how much was ...

Re: MEL 462 How much net Horsepower

Tom, Good move if they don't want to challenge you with that 1979 Lincoln. Since I am hunting the MEL forum here for a few days I came across your old post. Based on an old road test that puts the 66 Continental plus 2 people at 10.8 0-60mph 18.10 at 80mph 1/4 mile My Gonkulator says that 462/340 wa...

Re: '58 Edsel's 361 (303 HP) Factory Claim Vs. Real Dyno Results

Interesting pics and spec sheet on the 361/303 in 58 Fairlane etc, even if police only. On the Aug-Sep 1958 Hot Rod dyno session we should remember the following: * The starting dyno test gets only 210hp vs 303hp as rated, and they kinda rag on the rating after that. * That dyno test was pretty much...

430/360hp carb on FE Forum

In the forum (not classifieds), looks like willing to part with this 430/360hp 600cfm carb.
This was the first List 1850 carb.
In case anybody needs one, it would probably run pretty doggone good on any stock 430-4v.

Re: 1958 383 Mercury Holley carb info ???

No score for this post January 10 2005, 7:49 PM I have almost finished this Holley carb (EDGE list 1616) but one thing has bothered me some what. The air bleeds on the primary side. The two inner primary air bleeds are missing, there is just a hole. Is this the way they came from the factory? I've ...
