The original FE engine design was pioneered in the late 1950s, primarily as a more powerful replacement for the dated Y-block design. What began as a torquey engine meant to move heavyweight sedans morphed into screaming high-performance mill that won Le Mans and drag racing championships throughout the 1960s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the late 1960s, the FE design was dated, so Ford replaced it with the 385 series in displacements of 429 and 460 ci, which was similar to the canted-valve Cleveland design being pioneered at the same time. It didn't share the FE pedigree of racing success, mostly due to timing, but the new design was better in almost every way; it exists via Ford Motorsports' offerings to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeginning in 1971, the 429 found its way between the fenders of Mustangs and Torinos in high-compression 4-barrel versions called the Cobra Jet and Super Cobra Jet, and it was one of the most powerful passenger car engines that Ford had ever built. If the muscle car era had not died out shortly after the release of these powerful engines, without a doubt, the 429 performance variants would be ranked with the legendary big-blocks of all time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are planning to rebuild a Ford 429 or 460 engine, are in the process of a rebuild, or just want to learn more about Ford's storied engines, this book is a must-have item for your shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePages: 144\u003cbr\u003eSize: 8.5 X 11 (inches)\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003eIllustrations: 599 color photos\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9781932494921\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CarTech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31550995497063,"sku":"CT-SA162","price":59.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0244\/0209\/products\/Ford429460EnginesHowToRebuild.jpg?v=1575525644"},{"product_id":"how-to-supercharge-turbocharge-gm-ls-series-engines-revised-edition","title":"How to Supercharge \u0026 Turbocharge GM LS-Series Engines - Revised Edition","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoost the performance of your GM LS-Series engine by learning about supercharger and turbocharger systems, how to select the right parts, installation, tuning, and much more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003erevised edition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eof\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eHow to Supercharge \u0026amp; Turbocharge GM LS-Series Engines\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis the only book on the market dedicated specifically to forced induction for LS-Series engines, and it will help you gain a solid understanding of how supercharger and turbocharger systems work so you can select the best system for your budget, engine, and application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe attributes of Roots-type and centrifugal-type superchargers as well as turbochargers are extensively discussed to establish a solid base of knowledge.

This engine had new technology for its time, and it proved to be an extremely durable workhorse that logged hundreds of thousands of miles in police and taxi applications as well as light-duty trucks. And, of course, hotter versions, and even supercharged versions, found their way into performance applications such as Mustang GTs and Cobras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBy 2011, Ford wanted something hotter and more current, especially for its flagship Mustang GT and GT350 models, which were suddenly competing with new 6.2L LS3 engines in Camaros and 6.4L Hemi engines in Challengers. Enter Ford's new 5.0L “Coyote” engine with Twin Independent Variable Cam Timing (Ti-VCT); it was an evolution of the earlier 4.6L and 5.4L Modular designs. Although the new Coyote engine had increased displacement, it still had far fewer cubes than the competition. Despite less displacement, the Coyote could hold its own against bigger Chevy and Chrysler mills thanks to advanced technology, such as 4V heads with better port and valvetrain geometry. The Coyote is also Ford's first foray into technology that includes Ti-VCT and cam-torque-actuated (CTA) function, which is a fancy way of saying variable cam timing for an incredible power curve over a broader RPM range. Now, in Generation III, Ford has implement a system using both Port and Direct Fuel Injection, taking advantage of the benefits of both systems in a single application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEven with all of this new technology, there is always room for improvement.
