    Iraq Vet's '94/5.0 Needs To Be Goosed!

    My reccomended list: Gears (3.73, 4.10, or 3.55 if it's going to be on the highway a lot) Exaust (Headers [I like longtubes], H or X Pipe, and a "catback" [Flowmaster, Borla, Bassani, Magnaflow, etc.] Electric fan Shifter (shift kit for an automatic?) If you want all motor power...

    302 vs 351w weight?

    For reference, the car already has the FMS E-cam, X-head crate motor with an original tubular GT40 on top of it. It also has a Zex wet kit on it, which I do not use. I have wanted a turbo kit for years, but there is something impressive about all motor power. Also, if I'm going to do a...

    16'' mesh ARE's vs. 17'' Saleen's (1pc Stern)

    If you don't want them I know someone who might be interested.

    Those WRXs can be fast!

    IBTL! Edit: You can build the motor in those cars pretty easily, including making it a stroker. Big turbos aren't out of the question either (GT 35R for example would make big time power).

    302 vs 351w weight?

    I pay for the car stuff, not my parents. I work a part time job at school for just barely minimum wage. I have some help from the parents for food, rent, etc.....but the anything "fun" I pay for myself. Like I said, this is going to be a year or three in the making, I'm just trying to start now...

    302 vs 351w weight?

    John I read pretty thoroughly aboutnyour swap, thanks fore taking the time to make that thread. This isn't something I'm going to start tomorrow, as I still daily drive the car at college...I just want to contact some builders and get quotes to get me started.

    302 vs 351w weight?

    So 500whp is pretty safe on a Sportsman block?

    hsean's project "resto mod"

    Wow, the car will turn out great when you're done. I love to see stuff done in people's driveway. I wish I could do more work in mine....the homeowner's association won't even let us park pick up trucks in the driveway over night?

    302 vs 351w weight?

    Realistically, I'd like anything over 450 to the wheels. I'd also prefer to keep it fuel injected. I don't even know the norms/limits of the stock 351w block. It's not going to be a daily driver after college, but I'll still want it to be within the realm of a tame weekend driver.

    302 vs 351w weight?

    There is absolutely no way I would stick an LS1 in my fox. Please, no more about them...I don't want to get off track at all here. I realize that a solid roller 347 can make monstrous power (our Shelby does), but I want to stay on pump gas with medium compression, and a hydraulic cam if at all...

    302 vs 351w weight?

    Thanks for the answers guys. My plans were either an N/A 408, or an N/A 347/331. The reason I'm worried about weight is because I'd like to have the ability to track the car (a twisty as well as straight line...I enjoy the occasional AutoX and track day) every once in a while, and I didn't want...

    302 vs 351w weight?

    My college graduation present to myself is probably going to be a shortblock for my coupe, and I'm trying to make decisions. Out of curiosity, what would the weight difference between a 302-based stroker and a 351w-based stroker?

    Help me build my 450 hp n/a 302

    Our 66 Shelby runs Canfield state 2 heads, and is stroked as well (past 347), and running a solid cam, and 14.5:1 compression it's made 485 or so to the crank. Look at either Canfields or some big AFRs.

    Torn between 2 cars for my ultimate dream Mustang

    I knew the Lawman before he passed away, and got to see/ride in several of his cars. I was there the day they shot his SPEED special. He was a pretty cool old guy with some awesome stores. 85, you also have to take into account that we're talking Mod motor vs. Monster cube pushrod cars, in a...

    Torn between 2 cars for my ultimate dream Mustang

    Granted, there is a craze going on about Shelbys right now, but what I was saying is Shelbys vs. Boss cars, not just 429's vs Shelbys. I don't know the stats on which had more made, but I think the 67 GT500 is equally as rare as the Boss 429 these days. Also, while my dad has a much better...

    Torn between 2 cars for my ultimate dream Mustang

    I'd have to say that this thread is not representative of the real world. I see FAR more Shelbys out on the road and at the majority of South and Central FL car shows that I attend than I see any of the Boss cars.
