Whats up guys? Im new to the forum as of today... I am currently in afghanistan and my wife and father picked me up a 93 gt... everything checked out on the car and is in great shape will upload pictures later... It is bored .30 over with eagle crank and rods... not sure of the pistons, gt 40 ported and polished heads, gt 40 lower intake, typhoon upper 70mm throttle body and bbk cai with mass air meter... i was told that its running an 11:1 compression ratio... I want to have a turbo mustang in the end... what type of power do u think this combo makes and what block/motor combo do u guys think i could use to make around 600 ponys at the back tires... thanks i will be uploading pictures later

I am thinking a typhoon intake is incompatible with a gt40 and that an 11:1 compression motor will blow up under boost.
If you are shooting for 600 reliable HP you need to hut that car and rebuild everything. New motor, beefed up transmission, rear end, suspension, braking, everything.

I would go with a dart 347 combo for the engine. It will have no problems making and holding 600hp.

welcome to the forum and I second the idea on the dart block. I think 8.5-9:1 compression would be more boost friendly.

david93gt · Sep 24, 2011

the typhoon intake is mounted on a gt 40 lower intake and im not sure much else about this car... my dad and wife went and picked it up, got a bad ass deal for the condition of the car and everything else. my father was a mechanic he said everything checks out and the car runs great. i figured that boost would kill this motor, i plan to build a boost worthy motor and pick up a beefy trans for it and then when ready slap it all in at one time. Its my first build so im looking for options... i heard about the dart block alot and also heard about building a 351w... what are some good combos for the 347.. dont they burn a retarded amount of oil? How about the 351 some good combos for that

Not possible.

stykthyn · Sep 24, 2011

The typhoon is based off the edelbrock intake. The ports are completely different. The two physically wont work together.

stykthyn · Sep 24, 2011

Can you get the wife to snap some pics? We love seeing new cars on this site.

david93gt · Sep 24, 2011

well like i said earlier im in afghanistan and i have not seen anything but pictures... im going off what the guy told me i can see from the pics that its a typhoon intake so now im wondering if the things that he has told me are done to the motor are actually done... how can i check what lower intake it is and everything else

david93gt · Sep 24, 2011

well i will add as many pics as i can to my garage thing..lol.. under the hood looks like **** but i will clean that up so give me just a min and ill get them on here maybe you guys can tell me what you think you can see thats done from the pics...like i said earlier im new to this **** and want to learn from those who know best.

stykthyn · Sep 24, 2011

Hard to see everything that's been done from that angle but that is definitely a typhoon intake. Car looks great. I'm not feeling the 20s though.

Where are you, man? I'm at Camp Spann in MeS (RC N).

david93gt · Sep 24, 2011

im down south in kandahar now but i was in zabul for the first three months i was here... you doing alright up there.... whats your mos... im 11b been in for just over 5 years

david93gt · Sep 24, 2011

when i go home im going to climb under the hood and dig around to see what i can find out... where would i look to see what kind of heads there are on there and what not... i know that i cant tell if anything has actually been done internally without pulling a head and measuring the cylinder or dropping the oil pan... so i think that im going to get a build plan going and build a motor on the side and drop it in when i have it and the trans all complete... what is a good combo for a 347 or a 351 and aren't most parts interchangeable from the 351 to a 302 and vise versa

Rick 91GT · Sep 25, 2011

Intakes, oil pan and some internals will not switch from a 302 toa 351.

The best thing to do is come up with a plan of goal based on how you want to use the car. Then determine a budget it adds up quick...

david93gt · Sep 25, 2011

i really appreciate all the help... you guys are awesome and thanks for the compliment on the car. I'm not to fond of the 20s either but hey they look alright for now. The car is flawless "the body and interior"... I have decided that i want to do the 351 swap and i want the car to be weekend fun/cruise/take to the track and see what she can do type of thing... i think a safe 500-550 is what i would like... im going to turbo the car one day so that dictates my build plan alot... what are some good ideas and things i need to prepare for the 351 swap

1993whtstang · Sep 25, 2011

Are you over there for millitary? If so, Thank you for your service and protecting our country! Enjoy the car when you get home, looks pretty clean!

david93gt · Sep 25, 2011

yeah im in the army its a blast...lol... and thanks for the support

ID89GT · Sep 25, 2011

Is it possible the Typhoon intake that you think it is is actually a tubular Gt40 intake? They do kinda look similar

stykthyn · Sep 26, 2011

Definitely a typhoon
