First off I want to thank anyone for any useful input before I even start, so thank you!
Here is the situation; Oil pump locked up in my 90 foxbody did some damage to the crank it appears and I may have had some issues with a few other things. It appears that I had oil burning in 3 or 4 cylinders to begin with.
So what I am doing is having my uncle rebuild the engine for me. He is a good mechanic and knows a good machine shop to turn the crank and bore the cylinders if need be.
Here is what the engine had on it before all this happened; Vortech V1 supercharger, Roush 200 heads, GT40 U + L intake, I believe E303 or B303 cam(unsure on that), 24lb. ford motorsport injectors, Accel 300+ race ignition, King Cobra Ford Motosport clutch and pressure plate, 3 core radiator, no smog equipment, Headman headers, 2 chamber Flowmasters, off-road h-pipe, 3:73 gears.
And Here is what I am trying to accomplish; I am looking for a good build to model this engine off of. I bought this car with everything that it had done to it and really have no idea how it is setup and to be honest I am a horrible mechanic, I know not alot other than how to turn the wrench. But I am looking for a good daily driver setup for a 15 minute drive back and forth to work everyday with a hell of a kick to it. I love good ole american muscle but I have never been a good mechanic. I am looking for guidance through setting up this engine properly and giving facts about these 5.0's rather than opinions. My uncle is a hell of a mechanic but doesn't deal with performance builds, so I am trying to do my part on the research on what needs to be done to the engine on any aspect. Also I am looking at changing out parts for a better configurations such as heads and cam... but I dont know where to go in that direction so guidance would be needed. All and all this will be a budget build and like I said it will be a daily driver not a track car but i would like to sit around the 400hp range or better. I would estimate that around 5000 dollars is what I would be willing to spend.
I have tried to be descriptive as possible while staying on the point but if there is anything that needs cleared up or added please let me know!
