Well, looks like Im going to keep the car so Im going to do everything the right way. Its going up on a rotisserie to be cleaned and por15 underneath, por15 the interior and shaved engine bay. Well, I sold all my 02 Gt stuff that I was going to transplant so the stock interior is going back in. Sticking with a windsor based motor too.... Right now there are 2 motors sitting in the garage, a stock 302 and a modded 393 stroker. Here is whats up with each...
302 (306) - 87 roller motor with 86 forged pistons. Stock heads with 3 angle valve job. New mains, cam, bearings, bore/honed, polished crank, port & polished heads.
393 - 69 block, spend $6k in the build. Motor dyno at 450hp and 500ft/lbs. The only downside is the hyperutectic pistons. I figure with a good Vr. Jr intake or something similar, I can get it to 500hp. Right now it has a Performer intake (almost like a stock truck intake). If I use this motor, I need a new distributor, intake, and some little things.
Ideas for both routes... If I go with the 5.0 route, Im going to fab up a custom twin turbo kit. Hope to push right at 600 hp (475 at the wheels) and if the motor goes, I will build a new stout 331. If I got with the 302, the heads suck and I need new intake/injectors/mass air. I can probably come up with this stuff sorta cheap. I ahve $500 into this motor.
If I go 393, it will be a carb'd motor and I cant go above the 500 mark...no juice, no supercharger or turbos.. If I kill that motor, Im in some trouble, it was exensive.
Here's the other notes about the motors. My dad has a 68 stang and whichever motor I dont use, its going in his 68. Im looking to restomod the heck out of my car and he just wants to puts around 2 miles to work and back everyday. What would you guys do?
