Whats up fellas, been awhile since I've been here but I'm gettin back into the Mustang scene and I'm tryin to go bigger and better than last time......

Anyways gotta start with the engine block. Who have you guys used and who do you reccomend? DSS, Keith Craft, etc...

Want to build a low compression 331ci. for around 12-14lbs. of Boost. The car will not be a daily driver except for the Summer months.

Anyways good to be back from the Darkside

depends on $$ and HP requirements but a Dart based block is the smart choice.

Money isn't a problem on this build. I just want it done with the best quality and no bull****.
HP requirements = The more the Better!

You should send a PM or email to the stangnet pushrod icon Rick91GT. He has done plenty of motors for people on these boards and can probably help you out a ton.

Beneath the hood is where I keep mine.


Sorry... I couldn't resist.

I will add though, that my block was built by Rick and it also happens that my cam was ground by EDC.

Agreed. Whenever I get the money scraped together I'm going to order some stuff from him including a custom cam.

Hopefully sometime next year Ill have my small shop read to crank out some engines.Im not a buisness but I would like to eventualy build engines and cars for a living,maybe even open my own speed shop. Ahh,well I can dream for now,huh?

If I was you,I would much rather have someone like Rick build me an engine than a large company.Quality and cleanliness tends to be much better,plus customer support is far better.
