hey guys been a while. so ill start from the beginning. a few months ago I got beat by an SRT4 while i was in my 1994 ford mustang gt. I know. since then I came to the realization that I need a faster motor not car. ive been running back and fourth on ideas still haven't picked a route yet. right now i either want to take my factory block bore it over 30 and stroke it to 347 keep the fuel injection get bigger heads forged everything and supercharged if i can get away without splitting the block which ive read will split at about 550. not too sure if that's at the crank or tires. the other route is getting a 351W stroking that to 408 and then putting a supercharger on it. now i really don't have any experience putting in a completely different motor in a car other than building a my dads dual quad flat head with a blower in a t bucket which is completely different. so I'm going to break down what my plan is and with the help of the community on here i think can get this done.
1.my budget really isn't tight at all only thing is i want to keep the EFI because i don't have much experience going from a fuel injected car to a carbuerated car i don't really know what it takes and how the computer works with it
2. it is going to be my daily driver plan to do a few pulls with it but not regularly maybe 3x a year
3. hood clearance isn't much of a worry to me if i need to ill cut a junkyard hood or get a cowl hood
4. i have the t5 tranny which correct me if I'm wrong will need to be replaced with a tremec (depending on HP)
5. have stock gears and axel which also correct me if I'm wrong will need to be changed as well. haven't dug deep on what id need since every build ive seen doesn't talk about using a ford 9in
6. will the 1994 302 computer and harness work with the 351. getting a megasquirt stand alone is also in the works
7. what should i do regarding all of this? I'm aiming for simplicity i know engine building is far from simple but what way can i go with putting a 351w in my sn95 that will be the simplest?
