Engine Building Part 1 – Power Principles
Before you build the engine, you have to decide what you want in the engine.
It’s so easy for enthusiasts to get excited about horsepower numbers, rpm levels, and sound, while skipping some very key factors of a well-designed engine. Some build requests are realistic while others are not even close. And it’s actually just as important for the engine builder to clarify the needs of the customer, as a totally mismatched engine can easily be an embarrassment to the builder and to the driver/owner.

What a Good Driveshaft Should Be
Like Rodney Dangerfield, a driveshaft gets no respect. Or even much thought, for that matter. Until we exceed its design limits, that is, at which point the extreme importance of this delicately balanced, high-revving power transmitter comes suddenly, and sometimes frighteningly, to the forefront. Consider this: the factory driveshaft under your vintage Ford was engineered to withstand the rigors of OEM power levels, traction limits, and speed/rpm capabilities for many years, which it likely has. But we’d never go broke by betting that all those factory power, grip, and speed parameters have long since been exceeded in most of our readers’ rides, ’cause we don’t call this Modified Mustangs & Fords for nothing.

Old-school tricks and new-school testing shows solid power gains.
I’ll never forget my first fast (or so I thought at the time) car. It was an ‘87 GT with an E-cam and exhaust. It had 4.10 gears, a T5, five-lug conversion with Baer brakes–back then it felt like a rocket ship! Times sure have changed, and so has my version of fast.
