Maloof Racing Engines

Almost ready to fire it off. Forged bottom end LS with ported TFS cathedral heads, Procharged with a custom intercooler and mounts, plumbing etc by the team we have here now. Ricky Cooper, myself, and Kevin Baxter have worked tirelessly to complete this project. I have to brag on these guys. The work we have performed is flawless! Ricky Cooper Kevin Baxter

I’ve changed directions on a project and I’m
Put my personal engine up for sale.

452 FE Ford. I don’t know how I get all the problem engines in my shop. This was built by a very reputable shop that “specializes” in FE’s. It lasted 1500 miles and had very little oil pressure. It was a mess inside to say the least. I had to machine everything over again including torque plate honing the block, align honing mains, rebalanced the assembly including the clutch setup, resized the rods, etc. I thought I was ready to assemble and....wrong. The cam would not go in the new bearings. I ended up boring the cam tunnel in the block as well. TDC wasn’t correct on the balancer either. It was 2 re****ed. The heads were equally out of shape. There was a minimum of .010 runout, and some were much worse. The valves were just as warped too, probably from pounding on a non concentric seat. Needless to say it was quite a project to correct bad machine work.

Pump gas 421.....10.4 compression Mahle pistons, S**t crank and rods, hyd. roller 242/250 .605 lift, Pro-filer heads 2.08/1.6 valves 90% throat size, cut my own angles on the seats, hand blended bowls and short side, SV2 intake. This should make a very nice street engine!
