New to the forum. I have a 2001 Bullitt, long term would like to build a max effort N/A 2v utilizing the Bullitts unique manifold. Hoping to get lots of info on here for what to do to achieve 400-450hp naturally aspirated
I understand this is the easy logical, and financially efficient way to make power on these cars, believe me you aren't the first to tell me. I just think there will be something more fun and fulfilling about putting time and effort into building the engine up, and still having it look mostly stock under the hood, but be able to at least almost keep up with newer coyotes.
Yes this is what i wanna get into. Building the motor for the love of the game and just to have the experience of doing it. Been looking at 5.0 stroker kits, tfs heads or atleast cnc ported heads of some kind, big cams. I want all the good noises and a redline around 7k too. When the time comes for me to start throwing parts on this car there will be a build thread for sure. For now im still working on fixing what's broken before I start doing the fun bits. Bought the car 2 years ago with 175k miles on it, shes needed some fixings. Gotta eat the beans before you get to the ice cream ya knowIf E85 is readily available, then a 11 or 12:1 compression engine with serious camshafts, long tube headers and getting the stock intake extruded honed would be a must. Larger T-body, MAF, fuel injectors as well. And lets not forget the cylinder heads. A TFS head would fit the bill. If no E85, then it is going to be more difficult, just because compression would have to be dropped a point or so. Either way, it is going to get expensive, and the short block has not even been mentioned yet.
If you have the $ then do it. It would be a cool project. Make a build thread.
Back in the day I had a 01' Bullitt. Bone stock, with 500 miles on it, I managed a 14.08 @ 98 mph. in the 1/4 mile.

Here's one from when I first got the car, and 2 of how she sits now. Do have new 19 inch saleen wheels going on this winter, just had them stripped for refinishing.Pics of the car??
I’m gonna ask so don’t shoot me…why not do a Coyote swap?
If I was going to add boost, a KB would be my absolute #1 pick love everything about them. Im just too set on using this bullitt manifold. Did briefly consider a centrifugal supercharger at one point. But just leaned more towards the actual engine building idea rather than adding to the engine. Idk, im really being honest when I say not 1 person has agreed with me on this idea yet and maybe thats why I want to do it so badI would put a PD blower on a Bullitt, all day, every day. lol
I wish I could sit you down in one to drive for an afternoon. It's intoxicating.

Again comes back to keeping the 4.6 2v bullitt intake. My dad has a 19 bullitt with the gen 3 coyote, ported manifold and TB, 2 inch long tube and x pipe set up. So if I want the aggressive sound and driving experience of that, I can go get his out of the garage. Im wanting to go same build route as that basically, just with what this car was born with, as he did with the coyote.
