We took one of our 5.0 Resto economy blocks off of the shelf and essentially built it into a SVE long block. We utilized as many 5.0 Resto and SVE components as we could with this build. A budget street/strip car was without a doubt the theme we were after. Of course, we did feature some ARP hardware, Trick Flow, and Ford Racing components as well.



Since this was built from the bottom up, you’ll see detailed installs on the camshaft and timing chain, timing cover and water pump, cylinder head and valve train, and intake manifold. Along with those we’ll have key pointers on checking piston to valve clearance and push rod length.
