After poping the #1 piston on my 2v mod motor ( built by Livernois, cheated by Livernois as well) I am sort of stuck with a delema.
Car in mention is my 2001 Mustang GT ( 4R70w trans)
-2v features, Cobra crank, manley h beams, ARP through out. Previously built by Livernois with Mahle 10cc pistons ( was lied to when sold, claimed 16cc dish) Little to say, compression was high without being aware, and pump gas did not cut it on 10psi of boost. ( #1 ring land blew out)
-342 features 4340 crank, 4340 H beams, ARP, Probe pistons, Speed pro rings, Clevette bearings, and a B50 race prepped block w/ main support & studs. ( block needs cleaned, honed, and new bearings/rings to freshen up)
Rebuild the 2v or freshen up my 342 and drop it in.
Both engines have all the goodies, the 342, obviously having the advantage here.
I have been seriously considering dropping this pushrod engine in my 01 GT.
One of my main concerns right now is the spark control/ECU.. I have considered Megasquirt as a serious option, but know very little about it right now, and feel I do not have the time to invest into really learning it. I do not want to get involved with hacking wiring harness' too much, but am willing to do a little cut/soldering.
What to do, what to do...
