It seems like there are quite a few 2v guys doing builds right now, and they all have progress threads, so I figured I should add mine to the mix.
I am building a daily-drivable street car that will hopefully run 10s. I just bought an MMR 1000S stroker shortblock with the Boss 5.0 block, which will displace a total of 323 ci (5.3 L) and have a compression ratio somewhere between 9.3:1 and 9.5:1.
For heads & cams, I bought Modular Head Shop's Stage 3 ported PI heads and Stage 2.5 blower cams.
I'm going to re-use the Tork Tech setup I already have, and see what that Magnuson MP112 can do. If it's not up to the challenge of feeding the beast, I'll either get the TVS and slap it on, or perhaps make a new top plate for the intake manifold so I can mount a twin-screw compressor on there. Anyone want to place their bets on dyno numbers? I don't think anybody's done a combo like this, but I'm thinking it will be about 600 rwhp at 6500 rpm and 580 rwtq at 3k rpm running on 93 octane.
I'm also building the trans with upgraded clutch packs, a 3k stall lockup billet converter, and as many billet "hard parts" as I can find.
I haven't fully decided on the fuel system yet, but right now I'm leaning towards getting a Fore hat with twin Ford GT (supercar) pumps and some aftermarket fuel rails. I already have a Cobra tank with the sump & baffles. I don't know what size injectors I'm going to use yet. I intend to stick with the returnless setup I have now, so I'll probably need to do the twin FPDM (fuel pump driver module) upgrade. If anyone has advice about the fuel system or injector sizing, I'm all ears; I don't know as much about fuel delivery as I do about other subsystems.
I won't be doing any "weight reduction" mods, so the A/C, radio, etc are all staying. I intend to (at least be able to) drive this car year-round, including winter, as I have been doing since I bought the car 5 years ago. I'm sure my Blizzaks will just love putting up with 600 ft/lbs of torque lol.
The engine has already been ordered, so now I'm playing the "waiting game". I'm hoping to have the car done by winter. I don't have any pictures of the build yet, but as soon as I do, I'll post back. Here are some pictures of my car:
These pictures are from a few years ago, so it looks a bit different now. It is debadged, the decklid spoiler mounting holes are filled in, the chrome lettering on the rear bumper is removed, and the car has tailpipes now.
