Ok, just sold my modular, and I'm looking at buying a 4 cyl fox. The plan is to build a 450-500 rwhp street car. Question, how much boost can the GT 40 crate engine handle reliably?
If that engine won't work, is there a reasonably priced crate engine that can handle that kind of power?
Sometimes just the mention of a 4 cyl will get you black listed on this forum.
If it were me I would consider getting a 5.0 in decent shape. It will make the conversion much easier. No issues with brakes, rear end, etc.
I don't know much about the motor you mentioned, but the stock 302 block is likely to split in 2 at the power levels you are looking for. If that crate uses a 4 bolt block, or other aftermarket block you should be ok though.
