That sounds more manageable. A shop in town I had check out the leaks said he had a 5.0 for sale and sounded like it had a bunch of hp so he should know what he's doin. Fair priced and BBB accredited. I'll check around to see who's best. And I'll check out some long blocks. That short block I...

Haha! Yup, that's the ticket.

Are turn key and crate the same thing? I figured when you have a motor built it was drop it in wire it and fire it up no?

Why is an aftermarket k member a waste of money? I like hearing I don't need to spend money haha

Sounds fair. What I currently have: 70mm tb (from other threads I've heard this flows enough) haven't checked what my MAF is. Mishimoto radiator 130 amp 3G upgrade Electric fan and control pack Haven't looked if there is subframe connectors and don't think the rear end has been messed with. Just...

All over the place? Back to my first post I wanted to know what parts other than block and HCI would be needed for a build and how much I might have to pay to have a motor built and put in my car. Nothing about what suspension would cost, only what you would upgrade. Nothing about making 500 hp...

Still of topic and not answering main question. But I'm not including 5 lug swap bc I'm still not sure about it. From what I understand 5 lug would be purely cosmetic since something else will break before a lug. Plus a complete swap is 2500 plus tire and wheel selection (really want those...

While I appreciate the input I think I said I want 350 rwhp and a setup that can handle tc/sc once I get my feet wet, ie learn how to handle car. Will 2k cover suspension? I've already figured that in. Will a 31 spline rear end handle my needs or is there something else I need done? Can a t5...

My budget will be 10-15k in 2 yrs saving. I don't have the mechanical knowledge, and so here we are. A guy I work with is pretty knowledgable (very in fact) but our schedules conflict to get together on anything. This why I'm seeking advice here. Like I said everything I've searched never seems...

Sounds cool. Won't hurt the pocket, get a lil more fun and give me time to save up. So I would just need heads and intake? I've got a 70mm tb and CAI. I guess I should also get em cleaned up, maybe some machine work?

The problem with pick-a-part is I don't know what to look for. Whether the part is useable or will cost more than it's worth to repair.

Hp? Avg cost?

A block like this?: http://treperformance.com/i-133556-ford-331-347-performance-short-block.html Says it's good for a 10 sec car?

What is a gt What is a gt40 motor? Could I go to somebody to have them find the parts and build, for cheap still?

I im open to advice on puttin a couple k in mine to run circles around ppl :))

Side note: a solid number people seem to roll with in a stock block is around 500hp. Let's say I bring my engine to 400. What time frame should I expect my block to crack and would my top end still be useable thereafter? Would it just be the block that is busted so a crankshaft, pushrods, heads...

For the block with complete foxbody application and timing chain is 4k. Plus 2k for the heads and 700 I think for the intake. Figure $300 for a cam. We're at 7k. You think it would be more than 3k for the extra misc parts I don't know about to finish the build, have someone build it and slap her...

How long can I expect this motor to last? The block I was planning on using (so far after minimal research) is the fordstroker 347 liberator, twisted wedge heads 190 (fordstroker), and a trickflow r intake. Good combo? Gonna run more than 10k all said and done?

Yeah super chargers are cool but anything over 500 isn't going to applicable to playin around town. Cast crank stroker short block for 2k, what's that mean?
