    Trick Flow heads and 4.6 or 5.4 forged build?

    My original Post was an N/A 5.4 2 valve with Trick flow heads and cams. Is there a link to the MMR build? would love to see the dyno. Just was wondering about the feasability and specifics if anyone had done it. How much does a 5.0 Big bore block cost? Any links? I saw an FRPP one but it was...

    Trick Flow heads and 4.6 or 5.4 forged build?

    So I am pretty sure I am going to do an N/A build with a bit of compression and the Trick flow 2v heads. Random question though. What added work/difficulties are there in building a 5.4 motor. Will the heads flow enough for this setup? Anyone else done it? If the heads flow enough then...

    Engine rebuild 99 GT

    HP Goals are 320-350 rwhp with the trickflow heads, cams and intake. Hope this isn't a pipe dream. I can't do Long tubes because of mass emission laws. The budget is what it takes to get the car back up and running. I want to do it as cheap as possible while upgrading as much as possible. If...

    buying a rebuild kit - where?

    How did it turn out? I am in the same boat now. Reading and never have rebuilt an engine before. Did you have the block machined or basically swap in the new stuff. Would appreciate as much input, tips/tricks as possible.

    Engine rebuild 99 GT

    I had a spark plug come out of the PI heads on my motor. While the shop looked at it they told me I had low compression in 4 of the 8 cylinders. Presumably due to the rings going bad. (Had an issue running it a long time ago with low oil.. doh.) I am going to be pulling the engine out and...

    99 GT needs a new engine - What to do?

    Another question. I have the 10.5 King cobra for the 99 GT. I assume this will not fit the 11" flywheel on the 02 motor? Do I order a clutch then for the t-45 (trans of the car) or do I order it for the 02 motor and 11" flywheel. Which pieces need to fit? IE clutch housing needs to fit...

    99 GT needs a new engine - What to do?

    Do the explorer engines have the PI heads and same cams as the mustangs? Also are they romeo or windsor motors? My clutch setup now is for the windsor. Would be nice to keep it (it's new).

    99 GT needs a new engine - What to do?

    I found an 02 GT motor locally with ~78 k miles. Little more mileage than I want but it is only 800 bucks. The guy says he has a clutch that will be needed to swap from the windsor to romeo setup. The reason they believe for the low compression is the rings. The motor had been driven with low...

    Long story short my 99 GT has a 101K miles on it. I blew a spark plug out of one of the heads. Shop was able to fix that but told me that I have low compression in 4 of the eight cylinders (~90 psi) vs the 150 psi in the rest of the cylinders. Was looking on the frpp website for a good...
