    Oh darn! What block were you gonna be using with that setup?

    Sounds like it will be a nice setup, something like I want! Let us know how it turns out!

    New motor combination suggestions??

    I do plan to do all the work myself, minus machining work on the block/heads/intake and what not. Compression ratio of 11:1....is that too high for adding a supercharger down the road somewhere? Is there a certain ratio limit for nitrous?

    It's got a cold air intake, stock intake manifold, but I already have ported explorer heads on it. So aftermarket aluminum heads would probably be the biggest chunk of change, cam, intake, headers....figure out the SC thing later on probably. I've got control arms and subframe connectors...

    New motor combination suggestions??

    So the way it sounds is that my best choice for my goals/plans would be to stick with my 302 stock block (assuming it checks out ok as far as integrity) and maybe bore it out, get some aluminum heads, intake, cam, up one size on injectors possibly, etc? Then I would still have the choice of...

    I never claimed to be that intelligent about all this so you can't insult me...I've only rebuilt old tractors. I do have an idea what 500 hp is because my cummins runs right at that...of course it weighs at least twice as much. I GUESS 400 rwhp (500 fwhp) would be sufficient for what I...

    New motor combination suggestions??

    Well like I said, I'm open minded...first car project here. This post started last year and that was when I said 400 rwhp but I guess I forgot to mention that I'm more interested in going big or going home now...so 500 rwhp is more accurate. I don't really want to stay with my stock 302 block...

    New motor combination suggestions??

    Being I have an 87 I would have to switch from speed density to mass air flow and it just seems like there are more things that you have to get set up in order for an efi system to work effectively...EFI is giving me a headache now so I don't know. I'm not against forced induction, but it's just...

    New motor combination suggestions??

    Ok, yeah that does make sense. So the 3.73's would probably be the highest I'd want to go for the best driveability with a manual tranny? I don't have a problem spending money to do things the right way because this is my first project that's not a tractor! HA But if I can find a good 351W...

    The AFR 185's wouldn't be too much restriction on 408 cubes? Would the heads need to be port matched or anything with that Torker intake?

    New motor combination suggestions??

    Thanks for all the info! Got the stock T-5 now and I am going to stay with a manual trans...possibly a Tremec. I have long tube MAC ceramic headers that are 1 3/4" so hopefully that will be good. As far as gear ratio, I've got 3.73 right now but I was thinking of going to 4.10 when I do the 5...

    New motor combination suggestions??

    As an update, and for more suggestions, I've changed my plan to go carbureted instead of EFI. I'd like to get a used 351 block, bored to a 408 (I think), with all new internals. Just need help with a decision on matching heads, intake, carb, and cam for best low end torque/street performance.

    Thanks for all the information. With my goal as mine being a street car, sounds like it wouldn't be the best option. I just have problems getting my cowl hood to line up!

    Nice looking car! How do you like the looks of the windshield length hood? Any big pros or cons?

    Alright thanks. I'm looking into pulling an LS motor from something...not to disgrace Ford, just looking for the cheapest way to go fast! Ha

    How much rwhp/torque you think you can expect from that set up?

    Lots of work to do...but this is pretty current.
