351 Cleveland is not an option anymore.. too expensive to build. I found a few 460 engines on eBay cheaper than the 351W! I’m going to the book store later to grab a few books on Small and big block fords and see what I can dig up. I really want a 6-71 blower with a 351w but I’m afraid it won’t...

I live in South Carolina. No vehicle inspections of any kind here. If a Cleveland engine is a stretch. I will settle for a 351w but would rather keep searching for a Cleveland.

I have a 2006 mustang GT with the 3v 4.6l V8. My motor is on its way out the door. The transmission is literally garbage from the factory (5r55s). I want something unique as this car is no longer my daily driver. Wait I thought the 351C was in the 1970 Mustang Mach 1?

Hello, I’ve been doing tons of research trying to find a 351c engine to swap in my s197 but I’m a little confused as to where I should purchase one? My goal is about 600hp with a supercharger. I found a remanufactured 351c here...

Okay I’m going to have Lito tune the car.. I have my mind set on a whipple, roush or Kenne Bell I’m sure all three will get the job done just fine though.

I would like 550 to the wheels but I want to start at 450 and drive that for awhile so I can get used to the power level.

I think the motor is tired and ready for a rebuild. Sounds good man! you sound like you know what you are talking about haha so im going to find me some forged rods and pistons. Anyone know of some reputable shops in south carolina that could knock this out? I want about 500 to the wheels. What...

I have a jlt Cold air intake, steeda charge motion plates and off road H. Should I go shortblock? I found one for 3,900 http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&toolid=10001&campid=5335821607&icep_item=192024178221 Or buy the rotating assembly? I was in a heated discussion...

Yup 06 is all aluminum..I’m not going to lie.. your idea does sound way better but should I go shortblock? Or just buy the rotating assembly and have a machine shop take care of the work? who knows I might be really comfortable at 450 rear wheel! I just want the added coverage of a forged...

I have a 2006 Mustang GT with about 130k miles on it. That’s another reason for my swap. My horsepower goal is 550 to the wheels. I love the 3v but I just can’t get past the exhaust tone and the way the engine behaves. Also I made a mistake buying this car with the auto because I used to live in...

Thanks for the response! See that’s the thing. I wanted to do the cobra 4.6 swap but I wasn’t sure if it would fit in a S197! If so I saw a whole engine, trans, steering wheel and ecu for 7k on eBay. I’m a novice mechanic but I am extremely good at following directions. I will follow the ford...

Okay this is going to sound crazy! But I was wondering if it is possible to use the frpp 5.3l stroker https://www.americanmuscle.com/ford-performance-53l-modular-stroker-shortblock.html and bolt some 4v cobra heads to that block and I’m assuming I would need everything else swapped over from the...

Really dude? Maybe I like the drone because I can't tell the difference between drone and the rumble. It's really loud! It's so bad.. every time I step on it every jap car in a quarter mile radius is trying to race me but I really love the tone.

Okay guys I just installed a pypes off road h to my 2006 mustang GT with JBA axlebacks and I never knew how loud the 3v could get but WOW she screams at 2000 Rpms. I'm curious to know what others think about an off road h and chambered mufflers.. sounds like a deep tin can a little but I like...

I'm not 100% sure what the problem could be man but I had something similar happen to my 2006 mustang GT. I took the negative cable off the battery for like 30mins-1 hour and everything was working again after the fact.

You are a legend haha! I understand now that's great news! I'm a newbie but I think I can tackle this all by myself. I'm waiting on my tune. Definitely will update you guys when I finish. e

Sounds good and ONLY 2 hours! Geez.. I am going to start at 6am and expect to be done by late afternoon haha My crank is a bit rusty and I cannot see where the timing mark is. All I see is 2 holes/circles on the crank slightly spaced out from each other and I apologize in advance because I have...

Thanks for your input man but I'm pretty sure it is the factory balance. I'm going to try and take the valve covers off and check the cam lobes. I'm a newbie haha but I refuse to take my car to a mechanic or a performance shop for this. I will update with pics if I run into any other complications.

I am about to install frpp hot rod cams but I just noticed my harmonic balancer does not have the spoke and timing mark on it and it is a bit rusty :/

Car has about 115k miles on it. Car runs like new imo! Haven't had any major issues so far! *knock on wood* it has an auto trans but I'm looking to upgrade to a 6r80 or manual swap years from now. Not really on the list of things to do right now. I also want to build the bottom end because I'm...
