my friend had a 302(347) with a t 76 turbo and it made around 650 to the rear wheels and they said that was the max they seen 1 make.
How do terminators, machs, and shelbys do it? i mean i know i have to get a much better block but how do they handel so much hp? I will like to do it in my pushrod. Also LS engines do it all the time so why not a 302 block?
turbos tend to be easier on parts, i'd belive that 650, but just hold your breath while your driving...
the key to making a stock block live at 1000 hp is lots of thread lock on the head studs and have chris angel in the passenger seat
LS engines do not do it all the time and older LS1 and LS6 do split around 800 ish. The Cobra (96+) is a COMPLETLY different engine, its DOHC for one and most are aluminum. The new Shelbys and the 03/04 Termis were iron but the earlier Cobras were aluminum. The Teksid 4.6 is one of the strongest blocks in the world. There are a few running 1500+ hp with no problems. Hell their stock crank can handle 1200 hp.How do terminators, machs, and shelbys do it? i mean i know i have to get a much better block but how do they handel so much hp?

Even the new Z06 engine is reaching the blocks limits at 750 rwhp so it sounds like the first thing you need to do is learn how to use the search function and learn about the different engines.
The cheapest way for you to get 1000 hp will be to buy an Aluminator long block and a twin turbo setup. Still be around 10K though and thats not including the other $2500+ for a trans that can hold it and another $2500+ for the rear and another $1500+ for the suspension mods and another $1500 for chasis mods.
Why do you want 1000 hp? Building a drag car or hoping to go Bugatti hunting?
I have had 500+ rwhp on the street and even in perfect weather with every suspension mod and 12" wide rear tires it was a handful. 1000 is a death ride.

I dont think a Stang could ever beat a Bugatti. A Stang cant knock off a 2.5 second 0-60 no matter what you do (purpose built drag car aside) and still go 250+ and go through a corner at over 1g while wrapping you in a super luxurious interior. There is a reason they cost over $5,000,000 each to build. They are a masterpiece!
I just hear it all the time "Well if my car had 1000 hp it would beat it!" Uh, no. No it wont. Maybe drop a few million in special one off parts and change all the suspension design as well as the aerodynamics and it might but 1000hp in a Fox is not the same as a 1000hp Veryon.

Huh? There are a TON of Foxes on Pinks All Out, they just never win. Its usually cause the driver messed up or the car breaks something on the line but there are many on Pinks. Come to think of it one of the last two PAO had 4 Foxes in the final 16.
And watch some older episodes of Horse Power to see what they did to make 1000 hp on their 347 with a turbo. It was big bucks but the car mods were equally large to handle it. Tubbed rear with a shortened 9" and a Power Glide to hold it. No engine mounts, they used a weld in cradle setup. Full roll cage too and the entire floor was cut out and replaced with sheet metal to make it all work.
A Fox was never designed to make that kind of power so you will need substantial mods to hold it.
If you just did the motor it would go like this:
First time backing out the drive way the trans would explode. Fix that and set off again, go 1/2 throttle and grenade the rear. Fix that and give it 1/2 throttle again and wonder why the engine is sticking through the hood. Make solid mounts for it all and then wonder why now there is a loud clunk in the rear and two holes under the seat. Fix that and finnaly give it full throttle and get a smile on your face. Get home and realize the door dont open cause the frame is twisted.
Its a big undertaking my friend.
