Ok guys heres the deal i just bought another 4.6 engine and trans for my 97 GT so i could keep driving it while i do the build. the motor has 160k on it
Goal: 400-450 rwhp without forced induction or a bore (if possible)
What im asking is should i do bottom end with forged internals? or just take the bottom end apart and clean it up and do new rings?
top end i was thinking:
pi heads(maybe ported with a valve job)
pi intake
Comp Cams stage 2 cams
adjustable timing gears
steeda ud pulleys
70mm tb
long tube headers
msd coils
CAI(on car)
ford racing water pump
x pipe
flowmaster american thunder(on car)
ok what am i missing what else could i chage/add to meet my goal
if i do get it stroked can i still run all these things on the top end?
Any input or advice is greatly appreciated im going to take my time with this build cause its my first one but i do want to get started as soon as i can. Thanks guys!
