Built Ford tough!

Actually, yeah. If he was putting 500whp down thru that stock bottom end and made it 12,000 miles (and admittedly hard miles) he has exceeded the life expectancy for sure.

[Big A]

JDM. I don't believe it to be a tune related failure. It simply was making more power than the block could handle. Not to mention my driving doesn't help. I was driving it pretty hard when it let go.

I only aksed because I'm pretty sure that mine (at 416hp) let go because of a shitty tune.

Sounds like you got as much outta the stock short block as you could. Forge it, and boost the hell outta it.

Throw a GM motor in a Ford body, now that's a car. But forreal, that sucks dude, can't wait to see what you have in store next.

[oh1bullitt]

Congrats on making it 12,000 miles. Sucks that it let go. Mind if I ask how much the new motor is gonna cost?

[SS Junk]

Fuck a mod motor.

[lincolnboy]

Can I have the old block

[mustang1200]

Yeah, from what I understand, mid-400 rwhp is about all that will be reliable on them. Anything more than that is a roll of the dice. Looks like you hit snake eyes.
Is the new 3V going to have an upgraded bottom end/rotating assy?

That's what I understand too. I knew I was pushing it's limits, but didn't expect it to blow up quite like that.

Lasted longer then I expected, still sucks Corey....I think that's your name

Yup it's Corey. Honestly me too. I hated to see it go though.

Yeah it making that kinda of power for about 7K miles and the first 5K it made around 430rwhp.

I've ordered a JDM forged stroked 302 short block that is good to 1000hp. I just have to figure out the head situation since mine have some bent valves.

I have $7800 in repair cost and upgrades so far, but that doesn't include fixing the heads I have now or buying new ones.

Fuck a mod motor.

Fuck it before it fucks you.

Can I have the old block

I planned on scraping it once everything is swapped over. Figure it's worth something with all the aluminum in it.

[lincolnboy]

That what I lanned on doing too. Asked maybe I'd get lucky that you were not going to scrap it too.

[Sgt Beavis]

It'll buff out..

[Mustangfreak]

What blower and how much psi?

[Wicked98Snake]

Was it loud when it happened? I blew a motor in my old cobra and it just stalled, no bang, no boom, nothing kinda dissapointing, lol

[CRASH]

Haha, God damn Corey, when you said you blew it up, I wasn't expecting this !! OUCH !!

Ah well, time to upgrade, right ?!

It had the factory installed Saleen blower, if I remember right.

Saleen and Should have been 10 to 11psi

LOL that does suck. It was really loud when it blew and left a trail of oil and broken parts.

Yeah it will get a healthy upgrade. Yup factory Saleen blower with a smaller blower pulley and a few other mods.
