anyone know about how much this would cost me? For the Engine, 347 Stroker kit, and turbocharger....i dont know much about turbochargers and pricing and whatnot....

after i assemble the 347 turbo, any suggestions on what i should do next?

any other modifications i would have to do to the car itself, currently i have a 91 2.3 mustang standard. anything i would have to do to the chips? gauges? exhaust?

There's your problem

Just build a low-compression motor and get it running n/a,then figuer out what you want to do with all your turbo stuff.

I hate to nitpick, but doesn't everybody? Build a good foundation (including block, forged internals, custom cam, intake etc)

Then when you get a good tune on that, and get used to that much power, go search for a turbo kit, or fabricate one yourself.

Yep…a built engine is a must when your talking that many cubes with aspirations of a turbo. You'll be needing a stout block to start off with…which at a minimum would be something along the lines of a dart. You could actually get away with h/p levels up to ~ 750 with the use of a production 351 block. Forged internals would also be a must as would a cam which is well suited for turbo apps.

15k for the engine, turbo and supporting mods is my guess.

all aluminum dart block -4k
Hellion turbo with upgrade -6k
AFR 185s- 1.3k
Intake- 400
Custom cam 300+
Built tranny 2500+
Built rear 500+
Fuel pump, injectors and other supporting stuff- 1k
Labor probably 1.5k
forged internals. 600$ shrug
That could give you abouy 800 rwhp for abut 15grand considering all the other **** that im forgetting and didnt include out of sheer laziness...

so you're saying 15k for just the block?
any suggestions on a Strong foundation as 88stang said? like specific parts. and what would be the pricing of such parts?
Dart Block
Forged Internals
i'm thinking Cobra cam
Intake

I think you oughta step back just a tad. Go build a 306 first and get your feet wet on a low dollar setup. Your clearly not ready as evidenced by the aforementioned comments and questions. All your doing is setting yourself up for things you dont know yet and serious troubles, not to mention an empty bank account
