Another Dart based Windsor stroker getting done, waiting on some small parts to showcase this Fords’ unique induction to match its bright red color…

06/14/2024

If you’ve ever wondered what an engine cylinder leak down test is or how to perform one of these tests, don’t worry. We’ve got you covered with Lake Speed Jr...

06/04/2024

Old school 289 FoMoCo SBF heads cleaned, blasted, valve job, hand blend and new springs. Started off as cylinder head job and now a complete 289 in the works…

05/29/2024

Trick Flow 240 High ports getting some upgrades before the valve job. New guides, upgraded springs, lighter 8mm bead lock valves to reduce some stress as RPM will go up on this Turbo Windsor stroker…

05/27/2024

A little Dim Sum lunch with my boys this Memorial Day weekend, shout out to all hard working Americans!

05/23/2024

Off the Shelf won't do it? Look to VPE for the technical knowledge required to make your combination work at maximum efficiency.

05/21/2024

Another 427W Dart based shortblock done, this one set up for boost in our VPE internal balance kit and custom pistons. Soon shipping to our neighbors up north in Canada…

05/19/2024

Time for your Summer Deals to start the Hot Holidays!

05/15/2024

Make the little buggers repay you for all those mornings you had to drag their runny nosed wee buns off to school ...

05/14/2024

Another stoked Windsor shortblock done, ready for some boost and an easy 1000HP. This time the crank is not hitting the block, the rods are not hitting the cam, it will have thrust and cam end play, etc…

05/11/2024

Gil and Olen representing Vigilante Performance at the local car show, always glad to hook up our customers with a VPE Tshirt…

05/10/2024

Problem with steel wire on block decks is having to deck after damage like this block that received one sleeve. Good thing is with a little copper wire and some careful effort it can be surfaced to use an MLS gasket without having to deck it .040…

05/02/2024

Set of AFR SBF heads with valves doing the gangsta lean after a massive blow up. Reason they can still be fixed is AFR’s thick decks that help with power adder applications and the occasional mishap…

05/01/2024

Another set of GT40 heads done right, modified for narrower springs with more rate and no more coil bind. Aftermarket or factory heads, good work is not cheap and yes, that is how ugly the seats were…

04/27/2024

Eric’s complete SBF, just a little pump gas 363 with lightweight pistons, internal balance, Manton pushrods, AFR 205 heads, fully ported systemax intake with one of Ed’s custom billet grinds…

04/24/2024

No school for my boys today but they are quick to learn other things like the Vendors we deal with…

04/18/2024

Just like concentricity and finish on a bore makes power, valves ground smooth and on center are a must to seal against another metal surface if you want to make power…

04/18/2024

Typically, the last part produced for a well built engine is the pushrods, due to the infinite number of lengths required to produce the correct geometry. Vigilante Performance recommends thick wall pushrods manufactured of 4130/4135 steel tubing. Wall thickness are typically .083, .095 or .120 wall to reduce pushrod flex to an absolute minimum, but .035 and .058 lightweight as also available. Various tips are available according to suit any application.

04/18/2024

Both camshafts have similar specs but I will take the big base circle if available, much easier on the valvetrain. This will surely wake up a little 351W stroker going to assemble next…

04/16/2024

Definitely the roughest casting I have seen from Dart and needed almost a full day to remove the casting flash. Most people think building engines is just unboxing and putting it together, riiiiight! 😉

03/30/2024

Not one but two sets of custom pistons for Kaase SR71 heads ready to go with heavy wall pins for some giggle juice!

03/26/2024

Another Dart based 363 SBF almost done! Big thanks to Ed for supplying head and spring package, AFR with their SBF205 heads and Manton pushrod’s keeping deflection to a minimal with their heavy wall rods…

03/23/2024

The biggest problem with SBF heads are the exhaust ports and the thermactor bump made them even worse. Removing and shaping the exhaust ports on these C6 289 heads should help improve torque even on a stock style build…

03/22/2024

Pair of Brodix Big Brodie heads redone for a hydraulic roller cam and lightweight tool steel retainers to lighten up the valvetrain…

03/20/2024

It's not a deal where you take them out of the box and bolt them on. It's a deal where you check everything twice to ensure the performance envelope is met.

THEN, you can bolt them on.

03/16/2024

It's time to cut the strings to your past and move to current ring technologies. It's not all Moly anymore ...

03/15/2024

Pair of old school SBC 13 degree Twisted Wedge heads coming back to life and picking up more CFM with a valve job and some extra work. PSI beehives will help to maintain valvetrain control on this 383SBC…

Just like concentricity and finish on a bore makes power, valves ground smooth and on center are a must to seal against another metal surface if you want to make power…

500cfm+ at .900 lift, these heads will surely feed the 540CI Big Block Chevy they are going on…

Fixing some seats on a set of Ported GT40 aluminum heads, just glad the last guy did not sink the seats too deep…

Maybe it’s just me but the water jackets, valves, runners, deck surface do not show these to be “new heads” with less than 500 miles ran…

It’s amazing how many guys go with aggressive cams, hi flowing heads with stiffer springs and go with a budget pushrod and wonder why they have high RPM issues. Manton has us covered with these 3/8 pushrods with the proper tips for Jesel rockers on this small block Ford…

Third set of junk boat heads, cracked seats, leaking guides, we are always cautious of used engine parts off boats…

VPE custom naturally aspirated Ford Dome Top pistons from CP Carrillo, why a 306 Solid Roller High RPM build? Because some people like to party…

1.250 Compression height, lateral gas ports, heavy wall pins, guess someone is going to be adding a ton of boost and nitrous to these custom pistons…

Another set of LS heads getting some carbide cutter love…

243 heads getting some custom carbide love to fit the oversized valves, now to hand blend and flow test…

Finally got the right valves for these Cleveland heads, not to complete the valve job, hand blend and flow test. Still amazing that some people forget that valves sealing is is just as important as the honing procedure, keep all that compression in the cylinder…

School in the morning, machining heads in the afternoon, have to teach them as much as possible to give them opportunities. My son helping out on these GT40 heads...
