No, you cannot just go build an Ebay engine.
There is a specification sheet for cylinder head volumes, stroke and rod lengths.
Also specific part numbers for the cylinder heads, intake crankshaft and connecting rods..

I never mentioned anything about using an E-Bay engine in S/SS; you did. And yes I am very familiar with what is involved in putting together a winning Stock/Super Stock engine program. I cut my teeth working for Captain Cobra Jet in the 80's as well as working along side his son Chris. I also have friends who currently race in Stock, and Super Stock. So again yes, I know what's involved in putting together a competitive program.
And yes I agree just about everything is a spec piece from the block, bore size, stroke, rod length journal, and weight, piston dome, valve size, rocker ratio, port volumes, and camshaft lift. That's the beauty of this deal, everything for the most part is available off the shelf and readily available. No more chasing down old head castings. I never said used Ebay heads would work in this application. This was an assumption on your part. I was referring to some off the shops who still have bare castings laying around and available, as well as Jesel rocker bars, arms, and shafts . All Ford Racing D3 castings are cast with the same part number M-6049-D3. Everyone knows In Stock Eliminator the intake manifold will be what ever piece(s) and part numbers Jesse submits. In SS it's what ever you choose to use.
We do have Chris and Jesse to thank for bringing the 352" Sbf and the 428" Sbf to stock and super stock eliminators. And now they have given Ford Racers another bad *** killer bullet. I stand by my above post that this will be a good thing for Ford Racing in the sportsman classes. If I wasn't already chest deep in another class car build, I would be all over this.
