I have my 1987 Stang GT 302 that i am wanting to now put in a bigger Motor in her, Any addvice on what would be a good Combination for a 500hp build up and maybe some where in Florida that can do it for me? Help Please

I was thinking along the lines of a BOSS block and maybe some AFR heads and a decent cam say like a 347.:shrug:
 
My research has mainly been limited to what I can realistically afford, which isn't such a high-dollar motor like what you're talking about building. One thing I am pretty sure about, though, is that you'll need a blower to make that kind of power reliably and (relatively) cheaply; the type of combo necessary for that much power n/a would probably call for way too much cam, etc. to be considered remotely streetable . . . btw I don't think the stock drivetrain can handle near that much power, so you'd probably have to factor in a new tranny, rear-end, etc . . . all it takes is $$$$-$$$$$
 
i just got done with my motor build up but i really dont know how much power it would put out...one thing i do tell you i paid almost $5000 to complete a 347 stroker. Can someone tell me if i should or should of change something in it before it goes in my car. this is what i have a stock 302 bore 0.030 over, edelbrock performer heads 60cc, eagle specialties rotating assembly i-beam pistons, f303 cam, 1.7 rockers, lower and upper edelbrock intake, 24# injectors and maf, 70mm t/b. cool air intake, under drive pully kit (a/c delete). bbk shorty headers, 2 1/2 bbk x pipe no cats, 3'' exhaust tips, moroso 7qt oil pan, h/v oil pump, h/v water pump, 255 lph fuel pump, msd a6, msd coil, msd dist, 9mm wires, center force dual friction clutch, sn95 tranny, stock fuel rails and regulator (buying bbk h/f rails and regulator 45-80psi). thats what i have so far i still need a few things more but if any of this info will be usefull. if any suggestions please reply im open for new i deas thanks. good luck with the motor...:nice:
 
You need to say how much cash you are willing to spend and if you want to use a power adder.

Anything can be done for the right money, that's why it's better to pick a budget and go from there.
