How do I put 425 ponies to the rear wheels?

[aggiemachfive]

Howdy out there in Mustangland. My goal is to have this accomplished within 2 years w/o a supercharger or turbo. What suggestions do you all have? Should I rebuild or go with a crate motor? I currently have 108,000 miles and put on 25k miles a year (I live in Houston).

good luck.

you're going to need a blower even w/ heads and cams on a 2V 4.6L, you're going to barley see 300rwhp.

 

[RedDaemon]

yea but he asked if he should get a crate engine...apparently you either have a: lots of mony and dont know what to do with it or b: ur not aware of how expensive an engine with that capability costs..

just get a chevy 572 and be done with it

 

[aggiemachfive]

okay, what should i be in the market for?

2004 Cobra.. or LS2

if u seriously are looking to get a NA engine that produces 425hp you are goign to be spending a LOT of money

most people just get forged internals and get a supercharger

5.4L 3V bored and stroked to 6.0L, 10.5:1 compression, 3V heads ported and polished with valves and aggressive cams, and a custom intake.

...thanks. i'll look around.

 

[aggiemachfive]

$ean Hyland is the only one i know of that works with the 6.0L blocks. good luck with that. VT engines may be able to help. as far as the heads, MPH should have some ported 3V heads by now. comp cams should have some cams. as far as i know, noone has made this setup. it's all theoretical at this point, but i see no reason why it couldn't make 425-475rwhp N/A with a good tune and still be streetable. it will cost a ton of money tho.

i've heard of a dude named Al Pappito building some pretty mean naturally aspirated modular fords. Look him up man.

Don't forget fuel/suspension upgrades to put the power to use!

 

[san~man]

A 5.0 cammer, with the right exhaust and headers, will come close. You will need a lot of other upgrades, though.

Hope you got some deep pockets or you just won the powerball, because with that goal of N/A, you're gonna need it.

I think the stock block holds 450hp. im spraying, but i tune it down when i put on significant bolt ons. ex. i bolt on 25hp, i detune n2o -25hp

By an sc and be done.

Isnt al in florida? Ive heard some really good things about him.

 

[aggiemachfive]

...yeah that's why i'm considering a late 90's cobra for instant upgrades. thanks for the feedback

 

[aggiemachfive]

...thanks man. i'm kicking around the idea of tc (twin tc later) for what i have now and upgrading exhaust and suspension or going with a better platform and beginning with a late 90's cobra
