He did a couple sets of small block heads for me in the 90's. Great guy to deal with and he knows how to pull power out of a 23 degree headed 406. King of small blocks is what they call him........Originally Posted by 2manymustangs
Joe's been around a long time. One of the originals. Old school, very knowledgable, very good guy.
You can find him posting on YB and Speed Talk.

He is quite the Character and a very knowledgeable engine builder.

TY for that endorsement QJ...He did a couple sets of small block heads for me in the 90's. Great guy to deal with and he knows how to pull power out of a 23 degree headed 406. King of small blocks is what they call him........
I'm reading up on some of his 347 builds AND since he is in the SoCal area I figured that someone here has crossed paths with him...
I want to lean all I can before I start buying parts for my Aussie Cleveland head 347... For my 65 FB daily driver...
It's an oddball combo so far as I can see, Aussie 2v Boss 347...
I scored a pair of good castings for $300 locally...
Those are new sites to me, can you give me more info so I get the right place??? What is his screen name on those sites???Joe's been around a long time. One of the originals. Old school, very knowledgable, very good guy.

The CLEVEORS that Joh Kasse did in the engine masters were all 351W based builds if memory serves me correctly but it looks like Sherman did some 347 builds with the 2v 351C heads OR aluminum copies of them...

I did find my pistons today, U.S. forged and finished...
Flat top w/ 3CC worth of reliefs for cleveland canted valves... 1.090 CH for 5.4" rods and 3.4" stroke... Thats as good as you can do for rod/stroke ratio on a 347... The heads are 62-63CC chambers as cast...
Steel, was it you that told me the stock exhaust ports sucketh on these 2v Aussie castings???

Joe won the first open Popular Hot Rodding's Engine Masters with a SBC. There had been a previous closed EM between Sanchez(Ford) McCandless(MoPar), and Pfaff(Chevy) that the Ford won.
As Steel may know, Joe was a huge believer in the old Hays Stinger ignitions. And the fact that the I.C.E. ignition is the closest thing to them keeps making me look at them more and more
In my opinion, Joe made the 383 chevy stroker as popular as it is due to some of his builds.
But the baddest engine Joe ever screwed together was this one. JMO

I believe Joe worked with Edelbrock back in the '70's. He did some really cool stuff one time to see how quick he could make a Chevelle run with minimal power. As has been said, he has been around a while and he is sharpI've never heard anything bad on him.

X alot!!! Joe knows what he is doing and back in the 70's I got my ass handed to me a few times by motors he built. At that time he worked alot with NOS and made motors live using it. FWIW He did work alot with Vic and designed alot of GOOD stuff. MI believe Joe worked with Edelbrock back in the '70's.

Like he said, its going in a 65 FB. What else would he built. A Boss 9 or a Medium Riser? Its bad enough he is using those heads. God only knows why. But he will probably have to grease the shock towers to get it in, and the headers will will be a choke right at the port, but then what do I know.

God AND me and several other folks know why...
I look at it as what FORD should have done with the BOSS 302 in 1969....
As for fitting the shock towers, it will go in this one with ease... Don't forget that I said it's a driver, not a pro stocker with 2 1/2 primary tubes... I may even build a set of TRI-Y's...
This isn't my sauturn gold 66 fastback 63B A code GT car, its my beater 65 fastback 63B vintage burgundy car that had rear quarters put on all whacky... It will probably end up wearing hotrod black...
As far as a choke right at the port, well, it's a small block ford so that goes without saying...
