Hello all. I am looking for some suggestions. I am building a street strip engine combo. It will be blown. Want 10 second times.
Here's my questions.
1) What blower. I was leaning to ATI but hear they leak oil alot. Next choice is vortech with a cooler.
2) What size block. 331, 408? I want it to run cool and reliable on the street without overheating.
I have built plenty of cars but no Fords yet so I do not know the ideosyncracies of them.
Thanks

if you are talking your 91..then go 331. As for the blower I have no idea...NA guy myself. May want to ask the blower question in the other forum...our check out a few sig's. A 331 with 8 psi should be able to hit 10's (high) and still get decent MPG. Of course you will have to upgrade allot (fuel pump, radiator, TB, MAF, etc)

Engine Might have to get a Dart block but don't want to and if I do, then 363 instead of 331. Thoughts on what I've already bought so far.......
