To make a long story short my engine shop told me a ford sportsman 302 block can handle 500-600 hp well now I am learning its nothing but a glorified stock block. Great I wasted money on that block and the machining of it.
Basically my goal was to have a 10 second streetable stang (in the long run). My idea was to do it stages so I built a motor myself and got a tko600, rear is built etc. I built the motor around a supercharger, thinking I could get it in a year or so. But now I don't have a strong enough block to handle what I want. I have victor jr heads on my little 331 so it will probably be a dog in the low end.
I need some advice even some motivation to continue on this project because I feel like its just not worth it anymore since I am losing money on it.
So I am not sure should I just sell the vic jrs and get some smaller heads and don't do the supercharger or spend the $$$ next year for a Dart block and then the following year get the procharger?
I'm just unmotivated and pissed that the performance shop would lie to me do this bs.
Oh the engine I built is this:
ford sportsman block (POS)
Eagle 331 forged rotating assembly
vic jr heads
Comp Cams XFI cam
holley systemax II intake
1.6 RR
thanks...
