hey guys, I wanted to start a build thread on my 95. I know some of you are interested in doing a stroker or 351 swap. I'm coming from a 331 supercharged setup, so maybe I can give some insight on the benefits/cons of a stroker, vs supercharged vs 351 supercharged. I want to start with pics of the first day and progress
Long story short, I bought this 95 as a project. The car was built by Murillo Motorsports and they did an outstanding job. However the owner attempted to do a few mods himself, not so nice...... The wiring is shot. the good news is I have ALOT of good parts to mess with and the bad news being I have to start all over on the build. Shortly before buying it, the motor detonated and took out 3 pistons. While tearing the engine down, I found alot of cylinder scuffing and pretty bad main cap chatter. So out with the old and in with the 351.
Why I chose a 351 over the 331 stroker
1) stronger block, 1/2 main bolts, bigger head bolts
2)increased cooling capacity
3)bigger stroke
4)longevity
OLD BUILD:
vortech v2 on 10lbs
stock block
331 eagle forged internals SRP pistons
main girdle
gt40x heads
f303 cam
SVO intake
42lb injectors
aeromotive pump
SCT tuned
TKO tranny
3.73 gears
etc.
470rwhp 480ftlb On a heartbreaker mustang dyno
NEW BUILD
F4TE ROLLER BLOCK
same valve train and heads
stock crank
stock rods
probe forged pistons
ENJOY
notice the wiring?
Got rice?
So the engine came out last week and there is alot of cleaning, rewiring, and painting to be done
scuffing and no crosshatch after 20k miles
best part of the build! boost
more dericing.......
