Sacrilegious?

just do an msd front mount dizzy, a carb, and get some custom machined ford (lsx) valve covers, paint the engine ford blue and i bet tons of folks would believe you when you said it was a 351w

a setup like that would cost far more than a nice highend 347sbf

[Sean88gt]

Why do you care what anyone thinks? If a winning lotto ticket finds my hands, I'm buying a new gt500 and putting the engine out of a zr1 in it, and may switch the other way just to shit on the chevy guys. May even do a powerstroke conversion in a dodge.

and run better too!

btw- that setup is not as expensive as you'd think, 6 liter, l92 heads, single plane, 850carb, cam, and it went high 9's.

isnt a msd carb'd lsx setup over a grand by itself though?

brand new probably around there, flying jew would never pay that

Brand loyalty? Great idea.

Why don't you put a billet-blocked, twin turbo, Megasquirt flathead in there? It will cost fifty grand to make the same power as a stock LS1 on spray, but boy all those Ford nuts will sure think it's cool.

F'em. You're the one paying the bills. If you want your car to actually be fast and not worry about it shitting the bed when you want to spray or boost it, then go with the LS engine.

I have a mickey mantle rookie card for sale its in good shape but I drew a mustache on him and colored his uniform red. Did I pick the right card to deface? Aww f-it you guys don't pay my bills...

[jw33]

Comparing a mustang to a mickey mantle rookie card, that's a new one. May the original Mona Lisa, the Hope Diamond, or a moon rock would be a better fit.

so you're saying he should have never modified his car in the first place? the car in your sig sure looks like it's got a mustache or two drawn on it

^Nice attempt, lol.

LSx motors are hard to beat for the price, I picked up a spare 42000 mile (verified) complete 4.8 for $350.

Stock 302s are going for that much, hell, whiteboy wanted to charge me 1k for a 5.0 (complete) and a t5 and it was form an 86.

[Z06killinsbf]

All I'm saying it the 289 I have in it now isn't the original and nor is the C4. In order to get my car to the power levels I want would require a complete rebuild and expensive aftermarket parts. None of the late model Ford motors will fit in my car with out a complete suspension redo, which aint happening. I do have a 351W sitting off to the side but it's a bare long block and would probably make about the same power as my 289. What other motors can be built to about 400hp for around $3k? Sure I could supercharge my current motor but it isn't gonna make a lot of power.

[mk5.0]

you can build a real nice 351 for 3k...

[majorownage]

Y no knarly Cleveland?

Cam and intake will net 500 hp on stock heads.

Not really.

The stock internals will hold up to the abuse and don't need to be upgraded. Only valvetrain and pistons are needed.
