I need some advice because the time is getting near to buy a motor.
I have a 94 5.0 block in my garage and I want to build it for my 66. I want to use it because it has never been bored out and is ready for a roller cam. My questions are if I will need a special water pump or balancer or anything for this motor to work in my car? I plan to use the flywheel off of my 70 302 block that is in the car now for the 4 speed. I know that the 94 block does not have the part cast into it where the clutch bar would attach that the z bar pivets on.
If anyone has any experience with this I could really use the advice. I have been buying parts here and there so it will not hurt so much when it comes time to buy the motor.
Also, can anyone advise a cam? This is not my daily driver and I don’t mind a rough idle or using super leaded gas ( For what is it worth in Ca). I know the heads are listed as having a max lift of .544 so keep that in mind. If anyone has something close to what I have I would like to know any dyno numbers or ¼ speeds/time or even if they are happy with it, so I can estimate what I would be looking at power wise.
Here are the relevant parts I have all ready for the 66 coupe:
Performer RMP intake
Edelbrock 600 Cfm Carb
Twisted Wedge 61 cc heads
Trick Flow roller rockers
4-speed
3.50 9-inch with posi
Mustangs Plus 4 core radiator
Generic set of Tri-Y’s from Sacramento Mustang
2.5 inch pipes with "X" pipe
No power brakes
All advice is welcome.
Thank you,
Alex
P.S. Mustang's plus is having a show this weekend and I hope to see some Stangnet folks there.
