I'm getting bored and frustrated with my stang, so I need something new to work on. I've come up with about 100 different projects I want to do , but I only have room for one car in the garage. Oh yeah, and the whole lack of money thing. Realistically, I've narrowed it down to 4 or 5 options...
1. Fix my current setup.
2. Low compression 351W stroker and turbo!!
3. Sell the car and build...
a. 5.0 boosted Miata
b. Kit car (either Cobra/Daytona type clone, or mid engine car like the K1 Attack)
c. Custom build from scratch
d. 99+ V-6 with drivetrain swap from #2. Saleen body kit probably.
My goal is something at least as fast as what I have now (preferably faster), and DD driveability...As in something so smooth and fun to drive that I would want to drive it everyday. I want to be able to putt along at 1500 rpms in 5th gear with no bucking. And put down at least 600rwhp if I do the turbo build. Is that possible?
I'm leaning towards #2, but I also like the idea of a New Edge S-351 clone. The plan would be to use my top end (AFR 225, Vic 5.8) on a low compression 393 or similar short block. Isn't there a stroker between 351 and 393? I've looked but haven't found anything. I would prefer something in the 370-380 range to keep the CR lower...
