    On a budget.. which motor would you build?

    Interesting. I have never thought about weight transfer or lack thereof. I guess a dumb question would be.. how much HP is required to run 12's? Maybe im leaning toward a setup that i dont need.. but i guess i just dont know how much power i should be going for to get into the 12's. Can the...

    On a budget.. which motor would you build?

    Thanks for the post. I have thought about the cost with getting the 460 between the strut towers. I have access to a freshly rebuild LONG block 460 for 1500.00. I already have a C6 transmission or atleast a rebuildable core. I also have already installed stronger rear suspension pieces and plan...

    On a budget.. which motor would you build?

    decision awe guys i still have no clue to what im gonna do about this mustang 5.0. The 460 is seductive because of the massive power potential, but it seems that there is still life in my stock 302.. atleast enough to get me into the 12's. The only questions.. is how much life is left on the...

    On a budget.. which motor would you build?

    Actual budget? It sure does suck that they took away the local track. Im hoping that the LACR people can work something out before my car is ready :) So as far as the engine goes i would like to limit it to 3,000.00. I still have to have my trans rebuilt to handle the power: I have the...

    How much can you mill off ? How much can you mill from the heads before you run into piston to valve clearance issue? Dont the pistons in the 89 HO's have valve reliefs?

    On a budget.. which motor would you build?

    Still confused Shelby: See from your post that you are in the Antelope Valley. So am i. Just moved out here to Lancaster. Anyhow, i wont have the money to buy a stroker kit so i was trying to commit to a engine setup that would yield the most power with the least amount of money invested...

    On a budget.. which motor would you build?

    Gene, Thanks for the post. I have a full machine shop at my disposal, so porting wouldnt be an issue. They are just waiting on me to make up my freakin mind! What worries me most is just shoe horning the big block into the engine bay. Honestly, if i do go with the BBF i'll just pay a shop...

    On a budget.. which motor would you build?

    Cost end kit or 460? So looking at most top end kits they cost a shade over 2200 bucks. I have a friend who owns a machine shop that can rebuild the 460 for me for 1500.00 and thats for the long block, plus the 900 for the swap kit. Im still a bit iffy on the 302. I just think i'd have to...

    On a budget.. which motor would you build?

    Guys! Thanks for the posts. I guess my eyes are bigger than my mouth because i am worried about making too much power for the stock 302 block, but i guess i wont be making that much anyhow with my budget. My stock motor runs nice and strong. compression test checked out all cylinders in...

    On a budget.. which motor would you build?
