Build Sheet for the 400 Ford

[Jeff H]

I had a question asking exactly what components were used in the 400 Ford dyno video (http://streetmuscleaction.com/engines/400-ford-dyno/ if you are interested), so I've posted it here. This is a couple years old, but I think most of the part numbers will still be good.

Since this build, KT Engines has engineered a few more variations, including one with a GM throttle body fuel injection system, and really improved the recipe. I think they've switched to LS-spec connecting rods that work with forged Cleveland pistons that they get, I think, from JE.

Anyway, here's the build sheet, including prices. The formatting of the columns looks OK on my computer, but let me know if it shows up wonky on yours. If you have any questions, fire away!

After putting up the last post I realized the build list is practically impossible to read. So I've saved it as a pdf file that practically anyone should be able to print out and read easily.

You can get it here: http://streetmuscleaction.com/wp-conten ... -Sheet.pdf

Thanks, and once you check it out, make sure to let us know how you would build such a beast!

Yes the link to the build sheet is a lot easier to read for me.
