Building a blower motor out of my 306. What do i need?

[IndyBlk5.0]

It's going to be n/a for awhile until i get a transmission and rear end to handle the beating. I plan on putting low compression forged pistons in it (8.5:1 or so) balancing the rotating assembly, doing nice forged pistons, probably dss pro pistons. Oringing the head gasket , arp bolts. 180 protopline irons, ported gt40 by tmoss.

How much power could this setup take?

 

[TT91]

more then the block could handle..

 

[stang2841]

yeah im doing the same thing, and half the stuff isnt needed cuz the block cant handle it

btw

www.coasthigh.com i reccomend them im buying my kit from there

8:5:1 is perfect

and dont get to crazy with the rods or crank cuz its honestly not needed

 

[TT91]

stock crank and rods with arp bolts will hold more HP then the block, its been tried and true.

What do you think i could safely push as a daily driver

 

[IndyBlk5.0]

your using a stock block right sirsureshot?

 

[TT91]

yea im still using the stock block.....lol My car doesnt get driven but once a week maybe. All the internals are being swapped into a beefier block this september. As a daily driver, your foot is in control. I have no problem driving my car anywhere, its you that decide how much power you want it to make.

what are you usin on your bottom end

what crank and rods?

i want to push that much horsepower eventually

dude your car is ape, its my new screensaver lol

will a cast crank handle that much horse?

would forged rods be neccesary as well?

YES, and much more, and not neccassarily, its more a preventive measure...cuz youll always want more power eventually.(like me for example)

 

[stang2841]

oh , id hope id stop at 550rwhp but ill never know my mind set when i get there

so then just cast crank and "race prepped" rods

thats what i was planning anyways

 

[TT91]

go check out those old threads i just bumped to the top of the page on Tech, good reading..

 

[IndyBlk5.0]

Im not looking for near that much, probably 450rwhp daily driver. So eventually the blower will go on the 418 that is being built in the background.

 

[IndyBlk5.0]

So with a bottom end with girdle, arp bolts, stock reconditioned rods, ground crank, forged probe dished pistons, and balanced, will it handle 450rwhp daily driven?

 

[TT91]

yes, use ARP rod bolts
