Hey guys here is another horsepower thread. I bought a 331 shortblock with the following assembled from the machine shop to put in my 86:
-srp flycut forged pistons, eagle rods , eagle crank, main stud girdle, arp hardware
As far as engine parts only I have the following parts to bolt on:
5.0 Edelbrock heads (1.94)
Canton polsihed tall covers
Harland Sharp 1.6 stud Rockers
nitrous cam NX264HR comps cam
Canton 7qt pan (15620) w/ pick-up
FMS HV oil pump w/ hardened shaft
Crane lifters
FMS indexed double roller chain
Edelbrock Performer II upper/lower intake
Edelbrock 75 mm tb/spacer
TFS 1" spacer
28oz sfi billet flywheel
28oz streetdampr balancer
Aerospace billet electric water pump
FRPP 30lbs injectors
Pro-M 76mm mass air
Paxton fuel regulator
Autolite 3924 plugs
march pullies
Mac shorties, h-pipe, flow-paths
MAC cold air kit
Ford Racing rebuild gasket set
155lph fuel pump
A9S mass air conversion
MSD 6a w/ MSD tfi coil and Ford Racing wires
aluminum radiator w/ proform electric fan + 180 thermostat
1) Any guesses at a power estimate?
2) And with these heads it says that you can use the stock replacement Fel-pro 9333PT1 head gasket with them but if you move up in compression ratio or supercharge/nitrous (no immediate plans) you need to go with 1011-2 gaskets. Any comments?
This is a budget build and don't want (can't) spend anymore money so unless I have to I don't want to buy new gaskets. The parst were all bought either at a good deal or next to new and that's why I bought them. Ofcourse if money wasn't an issue I would have bought better heads, custom grind etc. etc. but I can't. I just want this thing to run!!!
3) What does everyone use for a canton oil pan gasket? Better to use my 4 piece or go with the 1 piece?
Thanks
