Hey everyone,
I am in the market to buy a new shortblock from someone and have a few question's. First off...Any recommendation's on the company? I have been looking at either DSS or X2C Motorsports, and haven't heard too much about either one. Secondly...I am looking for about 400rwhp N/A or so and was planning on 10 or 10.5 to 1 comp ratio, X-303 cam, AFR185's, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake and a 750cfm Holley carb. (Car is already Carb'ed) does this sound possible? I know with these numbers a stock block should be ok but in the future I would like to consider a 150 or 200 shot of nitrous. Would a Sportsman's block be ok or should I just jump to a R302? Price is an issue but I would rather pay a little more now for a motor that I won't grenade. Thanks in advance for any advice, I am kinda new to the ford thing. (Whole family is Chevy...lol) Oh yeah....cast or forged crank? (I am thinking forged but I see some people saying that a cast can handle 650hp)
Thanks again,
Aaron
