92 Mustang Gt Build

[ASAGN93]

Hey guys, I'm looking to build my stang. I am wondering if anybody knows of a good crate engine/turn key that is fuel injected. Something along the lines of a stage 1 or maybe 2. Also something not crazy in price haha. Any tips or help??

what is your goal
what is the car
what is your budget
what size motor
what transmission

Goal is to get around 250-350ish hp.
I have a 92 mustang gt with the stock 5.0.
I would like the budget to stay under $3800.
I would think the engines in that kind if spec I just mentioned would be like a 306 probably?
And I would be running the stock t5 trans.

Big difference between 250 and 350 hp. Your stock motor makes 225.

You will be hard pressed to find any quality turn key motor- FI to oil pan- for $3800, unless you look at blueprint, ATK, or some other mass produced engine.

If there is nothing wrong with your present motor, you can put a new top end kit from TFS, AFR on it for about $3000 that will get you to 350 crank hp.

Or if the motor is in good shape throw the entry level Vortech blower with the necassary fuel system upgrades on. If motor is tired and needs replaced you're going to need a bigger budget lol.

Hell for about $300 he can get a used exploder motor., swap out the cam, valve springs and use his exhaust, distributor, you know the drill For less than $1000 he can have 260 rwhp
