376 engine for my 71 F250

[Dragon]

I am after a fully computer controlled all Aluminum side oiler 379. 3.25 stroke with 4.31 bore and 7 inch rod. Low end torque and low friction. I know that the long rod will kill some torque due to slower rod speed, than stuffing the cylinder with the lower ratio high angle rods give during reversal. I am in this design trying to break friction's limit on how much torque I can get by 5000 rpm while getting better mileage. My goal is really 400 plus ft lbs of torque.
If my design fails oh well I will put 427 rods in it with more standard pistons.

Full EFI and if I can get a timing wheel for EDIS that will be my ignition otherwise a TFI mated to a FE shaft and lower housing

Arias and I have consulted on the Piston deck height we decided on a oil control ring below the piston pin (full circle skirt) to keep from pushing the rings so close together there is no safe land area left.

Crower is suppling the rods machined from 6065 Aluminum with them also supplying the crank. I did some work for Crower years ago and we still talk design concepts a lot. The cam is still in discussion we want to try a full roller with roller cam bearings and roller hydraulics. The lobe pattern will be based on the Power Beast FE with some changes.

Roller rocker arms and hooker headers on 72cc PERFORMER RPM FE FOR 390-428 COBRA JET
Chamber Size Intake Port Size Valve Sizes (in/ex) Complete (single)
72cc 170cc 2.09"/1.66" #60069* I wanted the GT exhaust bolts.

Edelbrock was supposed to send me the machine specs for a Victor EFI manifold so I can have the Streetmaster I got, machined to the same specs for the injectors. It has been a month so maybe??

how much did that cost you?

[Dragon]

Ot is not being built yet but we are getting into the 7500 dollar range in the budget phase.

The block is the worse at 4410.00 for the base block, Roller cam bearing boring is going to add to that price and maybe extended Deck height.

Of course the timing of this project depends on how much electrical business I can generate next year.

Also on the list is an electric water pump and electrically driven power steering pump.
