Well guy's my car has been down since late last year and Im only a few short weeks from getting my new motor. RNH Performance ( rick91gt ) is building the engine. It will be a (NA) Dart 8.2 block, 3.25 crank, 5.4 rods, 4.125 bore forged bottom end with box stock TFS TW heads,9.5:1 compression, Eddy Victor EFI 5.0 intake, 1.7 RR, and custom cam. Im not sure of the cam specs yet but I think it will be over .600 lift and will be a NA grind. The rest of the parts are carry overs from my last motor and may not be a perfect fit for now, but they are parts that I dont have to buy over. 70mm TB, 90mm MAF, 42lb inj. MSD ign & dist. SCT chip. The tune will most likely be done on a Mustang Dyno. Rick said my shift points will most likely be below 6500 rpms so as to keep the car fun on the street. I was hoping for that middle of the road steet/strip motor and it sounds like he nailed it. Ok I know this is just bench racing but that is all I have right now. Even after the car is running I still have to put a bar in it to run at the track. Im hoping for aorund 350rwhp and Im not sure of where or what the torque will be like. In a couple of years this motor will see boost, so that why the comp. is where it is. So what do you guys think.

It really depends on a lot, your real cam specs, accessories...

A very ballpark figure of 380rwhp.

Your carry over parts look just fine

I like the 3.25" stroke

Kinda similar to my combo. Both have 347's just different ways of getting there. Rick built mine as well

Is that victor matched to the heads? Its not a bolt on and go manifold. It usually needs port matching and milling. I'm running twisted wedge heads, tfs R manifold, custom FTI cam. I was very specific with FTI about what I wanted. I wanted an over 6,500 rpm shift point and I got it. My compression is 11:1.

I'll guess around 375rwhp. That compression will hurt ya n/a but you have boost comming
