dreaming of a MONSTER engine

<< < (4/7) > >>

GAS455:
If your only looking at 500 odd HP..... Stick with the SBF.

If you are looking at more HP...then step up to an aftermarket block....In a muzzy, I would still stick with a Small block still though for above reasons: ease of maintenance, lower weight etc

SBC-68-FIREBIRD:
These days with just bolt on stuff it is very easy to get 500-550hp out of a small block. In a car the size of a Mustang that will put you well into the 11's & have more power than you will be able to use on the street.

sell4u:
dream big - Big Block with a stroker kit and twin turbo's,

the stroker sbw as everyone suggest would be the most sensible choice,

or to really put it out there:

take some measurements, wait 12 months and try squeezing in 1 of these new ford engines coming out. Sorry but is called a Coyote?

Big Block means Big $$$$$$ small block =$$
If you go with a big block you will need the following
* 9" diff
* strong gearbox or 5 speed
* extra strengthing may also be required
* notching of your towers
* possable RRS frontend
* engineers report
* upgraded brakes
all this will add extra $$$ to your build, just as a suggestion what ever your budget is for a big block then double it by the time your finished, thats what it will probally cost you. If your lucky you might get some change.

Please correct me if im wrong

Why not build a solid 302 or 351 and a under bonnet blower so you have your HP on tap :rub::rub::rub::way:
