I have a couple of all aluminum motors. One running and one in the build process.
I have a 466 that's in my Cobra replica . A96 block, ported A429 heads, 10.5-1, CC .605 flat cam, torker II, Barry Grant 825. Its a great running motor, but its got about 40,000 miles on it an its getting a little loose on the oil control. So I figured I'd start working on a replacement.
I scored an NOS A96 "Pro-stock" block (off of eBay of all places!) Billet main caps, with 2.750 (SBF) main journals.
that started me down a long and expensive road. LOL
The small journals necessitated a custom crank, so I had Sonny Bryant grind one of the Ford Forgings at 4.250 stroke, 2.200 rods and a Boss snout. 6.800 Eagle rods and 4.600 spherically dished JE pistons at 11.7-1.
I got a set SCJ'B heads from Lem Evans who sent them down
to Charlie Evans for a max effort port job, big valves and Ti retainers.I wanted a dry sump so I got a 5 stage Ed Pink pump with the air-oil separator. then came a Danny Bee belt drive. .
Im almost done collecting parts, only the oil pan, cam and lifters and a 3" Kinsler EFI manifold ...oh and head studs....and a damper....and gaskets.. and...
It feels like an expensive, 565ci, aluminum jigsaw puzzle LOL Heres a couple of part pics
