    Which would be a better avenue of aproach?

    I ran a 69block with the 2pc rms... and it cost me just about $600 to fully machine it. Was I satisfied with performance... YES. Was I satisfied that it almost cost me the price of a REAL strong block? No. IT came up to about $1000 when it was all said and done, on just one block alone.

    What Supercharger or Turbo for 94-95 GT

    You cant grenade anyting when just starting the car with a blower/turbo on it. She needs load, such as reving the piss out of her, or driving HARD. Boost doesnt come on as gradual as you may think. You will need at LEAST 24lbers with the FMU to be safe, as well as a 255lph pump in the...

    Which would be a better avenue of aproach?

    dude.. Umm... he is only shooting for 9seconds... That is about 650-700rwhp The engine will hold it, the rotating assembly will hold it and the transmission will hold it, as well as the rear end. Mission accomplished until power adder is ADDED. XTC V2.0 will handle the power...

    Bigger bore

    351cj... Hundreds of millions of dollars? What are you smoking? They have in house designers, not outsider contractors. They pay them what they pay them, they have machining equipment and they also have data. I dont know where you get 100million from. Maybe 3-4million tops with...

    What Supercharger or Turbo for 94-95 GT

    Go with what you can afford. Expect a wait time of aprox 3months for a turbo kit... or wait aprox 3days for a UPS truck to come to your house to drop off a S/Cer kit. Which one do I personally like? Turbochargers. But that doesnt explain why my 97 Cobra sports a Vortech, does it? LOL

    Best Gears for a 94 AODE Convertible

    4.10's. No arguments about it. The AODE is such a parasite that it isnt even funny... 4.10's are needed to move the heavy SN95 VERTS, as well as the hardtops.

    Relocating IAT

    Yea weld in the AIT to the location closest to the throttle body. Such as aproxmntly, 8-10inches away. This will give the reading more precision... as it monitors actual temps going INTO the engine, rather than THRU it.

    Which would be a better avenue of aproach?

    8k to spend... skip the pos old school 351 block. with swap parts, machining it to have hydra system and 1 piece RMS, it adds up... TO A LOT! :notnice: Buy a R302/DART 302 block, $1500-2k. Machine it, $600 Rotating assy, $1200. AFR 205 heads and some sort of intake: $2k...

    Stock 94/95 fuel lines are great. Nice enough flow.

    For those who've ask what a 95 Cobra Convertible with a Factory hardtop looks like.

    Theres a guy in the back of MMFF or 5.0 who sells removable hard tops for all 94-04 mustangs. Cost is $1600, $1750 painted or something to that extent. IF I find the ad, I will let you guys know.

    347 Decision made

    Dude... 330rwhp is childs play with a 347 bolted down with your heads. What you need to do is call ED CURTIS for a perfect grind cam. That cam isnt going to cut it at all. Then you need to optimally tune it on a dyno, and you SHOULD see 375rwhp at the LEAST. If you dont, then you got...

    I am still standing on my factual proof of the block cracking before the internals.

    351W stroker build. Need specs for a basis to upgrade.

    s351 was one of the hottest cars when they were introduced. If you want to put in a 351w, buy a EFI intake from any one of the major aftermarket, such as EDELBROCK, HOLLEY, or even TFS. Go with nothing smaller than 24lb injectors if you are shooting for around 350hp. You may use any...

    Once again, polished stuff, this time alternator

    Pretty simple answer to that question. YES. It was obviously placed there for a reason, there shouldnt be second thoughts about putting it back on.

    how much hp can a stock block hold?550?

    Then I dont know what to tell you. We did it plenty of times.... block was the first to split, but then again, we got one hell of a tuner on hand.

    how much hp can a stock block hold?550?

    Lowering compression will not do ANYTHING with the REV limits. Dropping compression will let you "safely" run more boost with pump gas. Dont believe everything you read. I suggest you seriously start reading up and doing research before jumping into anything, people tend to say something...

    At least you admitted it! Most guys would blame it on a deer or something! Glad to see your ok! Where are you located? I might be interested in the car, if you are not too far.

    my cobra engine died BADLY and will not start...is my engine blown

    SAME DAMN PROBLEM WITH MY 97 Cobra... Ended up being 3 toasted rods, not bent, but they turned black from heat. All the bearings were shot and the crank has to be cut .010. So all in all I got a forged assembly getting installed. Cost me only $1k Goodluck, but I think the engine...
