Build a 501-Inch Ford Big-Block Torque Monster

In the five decades since Ford’s “Lima” series V8 first debuted with 460 cubic inches under the hood of the 1969 Lincoln Continental Mark III, the mighty canted-valve big-block has earned a solid reputation for durability and ease of modification. Though factory high-performance development maxed out in 1971 with the 370hp 429 CJ-R, you don’t need a rare muscle car core engine to get plenty of power.

Shop Talk: How to Check Piston to Valve Clearance

In all but the most mild engine builds, taking extra time to check piston-to-valve clearance is good insurance. In any four-cycle gasoline engine, there is one point in the combustion event where the piston and valves can be very close to each other—at top dead center (TDC) of the exhaust stroke.

Automotive Artifacts

I’m going to need everyone to conform to my morals when it comes to automotive artifacts, ok? This rant is a followup to my last column in which I described a road trip I recently executed upon old Route 66. Dozens of glorious ruins of America’s roadside history were spotted, but one of them hit me extra hard. It was just an old sign. In Carthage, Missouri, lies a shambled building with the hand-painted name G&E Tire Co. ghosted through the bricks, and at the building’s corner at Oak Street and McGregor Boulevard there’s a fascinating protuberance: a simple brown, metal fabrication with remnants of neon tubes and lettering that says De Soto Plymouth.
