does the XXX mean anything at all?
don't hit the brakes with that stuff in the back!
I wanted to mention that when you have one of these engines apart and you're looking at the block, it gives you an appreciation for just how much 500hp (the accepted "breaking point") really is. I mean, this is a seriously stout, solid, heavy hunk of metal, it's hard to imagine breaking it..
fwi, last weekend we put in a turbo kit in a 95 gt, and we had to CUT the equal lengths off, yeah they suck. but damn worth it lol
Sweet, lotta progress so far. Nice garage too.
joining in late (was on a little vaca) but also subscribing. also liking the vans . I always hated damn equals myself, you thinking longtubes in the future? 393/408 ftw but you pretty much know you can make a sweet 302 based motor also. I have read your posts your pretty savy, you will build a nice combo.
I flower potted my 5.0 a couple years ago, IMO once you run 450+ through the block any detonation or mis tune can cause the big break.
Nice progress so far! Is this your first engine build? I used to "help" my dad when I was young on all of his rebuilds but ended up doing my own 7-8 years ago and as the first time on my own it was pretty damn fun/rewarding, enjoy it.
Nik if you want to glass bead blast anything let me know. I can hook you up.
Makes for a nice surface to paint or just leave clean.

If you're lucky enough to have a "XXX" block in your Mustang, every time you do the 2-3 shift Vin Diesel throws someone through a plate glass window.
Oh yeah, and nice progress Nik!

Nice garage. I'm glad you used an engine hoist and not a piece of cedar bolted to each end of the garage like some other members on this forum choose to do
