Ford 474 engine help December 16, 2018 05:17AM
We're running a ford 474 engine in our ford hot farm tractor, next year we are changing classes and so our new engine limit is 1 turbo but 510cu in. Can anyone suggest a supplier or someone to help upgrade our engine. There is currently a harts fuel injection setup with a harts 3x3 turbo, water injection and all the such likes on it. Would just like to get more horses out of it, was dynoed with its current setup at 1600hp.

Thanks

With 1600 horse out of a 3x3 474 cube you are probably not going to get many comments who ever got that 1600 horses you better stick with

I agree 1600 sounds like a big number I would keep riding that horse

Thanks for the feedback, I agree there's nothing wrong with what the engines doing now, just that the rest of the class claim to be well over 2000hp running 4.5" turbos. I know it's not as simple as just putting a bigger turbo up on top as I suspect I'll be picking bits of the track

Are you jumping into supersport or prostock?

Jamie, I think you should talk to Bredahl Brothers Pulling Team - They have been doing great with their Ford engined Pro Stock puller.

Hope this helps you out.

Some people are very narrow minded.......think there is nowhere else in the world that pulls a class called pro stock.

You need to up the cubic inch, if everyone else is running 510 then you need to be there too. Up the bore size and stick with the 5.2" crank is the simplest way. You must be running that 3x3 turbo on its limit, so you will need to go to 4.6" and upwards if you want to get anywhere near the top of that class, plus intercooler and sigma plus a whole lot else!

Simplest way at the minute though is just upgrade the turbo, or fit an intercooler. I would speak to Wickie Power or Snoopy on Facebook, both teams can help you out a bunch.
