Nice. Are quick fuels really 950 cfm? I thought i read some where a holly hp isn't. I don't know just asking. That carb will look good on top of your engine.
i guess its eagle ... but you should always check the balance fo the rotating assembly, which is not really a DIY-job
I know Eagle makes a kit, complete rotating assembly. Has anyone used this kit?
I'm not a big fan of the made in China parts.
I see Cutlassefi grinds the stock N crank, and uses the 7.1 eagle rods with Ford Pistons. How is the skirt length compared to the Pistons in a eagle kit?
Cutlassefi do you offer stroker rotating assembly's balanced and clearanced or only complete engines?
Mark is rebuilding my 400E that was rebuilt two times before. Street motor, nothing special, curing oil consumption issues and pepping it up a little. Going for reliable, no issues, stock looking, iron headed street motor. Communication has been excellent. Constant updates and pictures. Excellent patience and understanding with my inquiries and ignorance. My emails are answered the same day and are always informative. I appreciate him working me in, even with all the other more expensive builds he has going on right now. He even took the time to not only list, but to sell some of the engine components that won't be used on this build. I hope to personally meet him someday.

^^X2 just met Mark the other day when i picked up my engine, i agree with everything you said above, and he has helped me for over 3 years...
Thanks! I'm totally blown away! I never thought I'd see 600+ hp and torque! Mark is doing more pulls tomorrow but this is what we have so far! Mark said it only has 31 degrees of timing in it with these figures!
Thank you! It's been a lot of fun talking with Mark and picking his brain! On one hand I'm glad I'll be getting my big crate soon but on the other hand it will suck knowing I don't have a build going! It's been a great experience!
Wow Very Nice! Mark I should PM u, you may recall I have a bunch of "goodies" for a 425. If we can get close to 550HP, with a higher revving shorter stroke 425 on 92 octane with the A/C on SWEET. It will replace the 67 400E that's in the 64 F-85.
Yep I do. But it's mostly in the heads and combination. Let me know, thanks.
And let me say. Robert didn't skimp and was great to work with, not to mention his patience. Thank you Robert!
Hopefully we'll finalize it tomorrow. Thanks again.

Well Mark did a few more pulls today! He left everything the same except he pulled it to 5850 rpm. The result was 10 more horsepower! Total horsepower is 622 and torque is 617 lb ft! Timing is still at 31 degrees! I think that although we both think there is more in it we will stop there. The block has a halo but I'd definitely be more comfortable if it had a full girdle and an upgraded crank if we wanted to wring everything it has out of it!

Anytime Mark! I had a blast talking with you over combinations and the wild Ideas in my head! This build went way beyond expectations! The only things I probably should have done different was add a full girdle and send you my steel crank but hindsight is 20/20 and we both didn't expect anything like 622hp to happen! It's totally ok as you know I have the monster in my garage left to build!
Unfortunately I haven't even installed the engine yet. My car is sitting in my garage and wating for body and paint to be done. I was hoping to have the car done by spring but it's not looking to good at this point in time.
One thing I am doing is having a spare 950 Holley HP rebuilt as a backup and dynoed so I'll be posting more pics and videos in 2-3 weeks.
The trip to my house is as fast as she's gone so far!
Yeah I Know......I'm not happy it's not done yet but I'll get it in eventually! Anybody wanna guess how fast in the 1/4 it will be? Car will probably be around 3800 pounds with me in it. I'm running a TH-400 3600rpm stall and 3.89 gears. I'm hoping for low 11s or a high 10 maybe!

If you don't get in the tens something is very wrong.
I can't find my Moroso Slide rule, My guess with that power and 3800 lbs, I would say 10.6 at 126-127 mph and likely faster once the car is set up with the new motor. Once the car is out of paint & body jail you'll have lots of fun. Good Luck

My guess of low 11s or a high 10 is off then? I'd love a mid 10 but don't want to get my hopes up!
