picked up a new motor!!!

[pistonhead351]

well i just bought a new/used motor from one of my buddy's. it came out of an nmra mustang and had about 35 passes on it, with no street-miles. ran mid 11's at 2900 pounds. made 400 hp to the wheels. here are the specs and pictures.
-306 with forged pistons. 10:5:1 comp.
-trick flow tw heads with triple springs, hand ported by D.S.S with the hi-rev valve package.
-scorpion 1:6 roller rockers
-eddy victor juinor intake
-trickflow vavle covers
-trickflow stage 3 cam
should be in by late fall or winter. im gonna clean it up and swap intakes, and paint the block and pan black.

guess what i paid??????

Was it heavy?

 

[pistonhead351]

$$$$$??

 

[grey5.0beast]

u won't complain bout it being slow now

 

[pistonhead351]

it wont be slow cause it will never run again, haha. more like $$$$!

What NMRA class? If its a pure street motor thats a nice grab. Get it in a good chassis, a strong 5-speed and rear behind it, and go have some fun!

 

[pistonhead351]

im not sure what class? ill have to look into that.

 

[25thmustang]

Probably just a true street motor ir something, but sounds like it could be a Pure Street motor (depending on those cam specs)!

Hopefully you're gonna gear it properly so it runs as good as it should. You do know you want a 4.30-4.56 gear, right?

Not a P/S motor based on those specs....

LOL, Grn92 sometimes i think you dont have highways where you live! Some of us drive a lot more highway than street, plus the price of gas and the wear and tear of your motor turning 3800+ rpm's at 70mph. who the FAWK would want that in a street car? around town should be great though, do start off in 3rd and are in 5th by 35mph?

 

[89white50]

although if its a trailer/track queen i couldnt agree more with ya.

 

[pistonhead351]

no one wants to guess how much i paid for it???

Nope, many highways by me and my STREET car see's them ALL the time

Some of us drive a lot more highway than street, plus the price of gas and the wear and tear of your motor turning 3800+ rpm's at 70mph.

3,800?? WTF, I have a 5 speed manual, NOT a C4. I turn 2500-2600 on the highway with my 4.30's

who the FAWK would want that in a street car?

You build (or buy in this case) a high rpm engine and you gear it properly if you want it to work right.

around town should be great though, do start off in 3rd

Absolutly wrong, I start off in first No need to slip my clutch and put more wear on it. What I can do though, is go from first to forth if i'm feeling lazy

and are in 5th by 35mph

..and wrong again

 

[pistonhead351]

what size tire do you have? what rpm in 4th do you go through the traps at?

 

[25thmustang]

Dont fear the gear. If you do your going to run sub par times!

 

[pistonhead351]

this motor is getting converted to efi, and i was wondering if the stage 3 is streetable at all, since its going in my daily driver. it will be getting a edelbrock perf II on top of it. or would i be better off swapping the 3 for a stage 2?
