New stang: 2000 GT, Lazar Red, Intercooled KB, full exhaust, gears, shifter, control arms, lowered, all bolt-ons.
My stang: 2002 GT, Black, stage 1 VT cams, full exhaust, lowered, control arms, chip, shifter, all bolt-ons
I have 2 questions I know you guys can help me with
1) How do I know if I have the 2.1 Kenne Bell or the older 1.7? I have no receipts with it, just install instructions and doesn't say.
2) Well, I found out my #2 cylinder has no compression, so now I'm seeing my options. Either swap the KB to my other stock motor stang, or get a built short block and put it back in the stang with the blower. hmmm...,money is always a concern as well!
A stock 2v can safely put down 400-425hp to wheels with safe dyno tune on stock block, right? Everyone says that our pistons and rods are the week link. They are the same internals as the newer 3v, right? So how come the 3v guys are making 475-500hp to the wheels, stock, and holding together? I know they have more valves to make more power, but everything from the pistons down are getting hammered harder!
Just trying to go into this project well educated!! Thanks
