gonna spend lots of money might as well have Mondello build you one. I've spent $1900 this year on mine. spun rods twice, cracked block liner'd it ,replaced crankshaft, 4 new rods and pistons and now it's blowing oil out the breather. Has all the good stuff in it main restrictors (.060), lifter restrictors, restricted push rods, bigger drain holes in the heads 10 qt. pan blah blah blah. Takes a week to order ANY parts for it plus no one knows what you want since no one has ever SEEN one. Got it to go 66 mph@5000 but not for long. Gonna clean up all the oil spillage time her down and sell her for $2500 ... maybe build Wakemakers Kinsvater then.

Good news!  :smile30: My brother gave me all his good bbf stuff so now i get to build a ford for it! does anyone now if you can get adapters that will let you bolt bbc headers to bbf heads? the port spacing is the same, the bolt pattern is way off.
 
:smile27:  No oiling problems with mine. ( 425 steel rod and crank ) It has been togethor for a long time. They will spin 6000 plus.      :smile21:      There are several articles. READ THE ARTICLES.  a couple links
