So i'm no master Mechanic, but i've been around for awhile, so i'm going to throw some **** out there for you guys, and see what ya'll think about my low budget engine combo.
Stock Production 302, bored 0.030 over,(it is 0.030,and not 0.0030 right?) Forged Pistons, Forged Rods, Cast Steel Crankshaft,DSS Windage Tray. A set of stock E7 heads that have been ported and Polished, along with new springs and valves Installed. (they were free, don't tell me it was a waste of money) an Explorer Intake, (can it be gasket matched, or is it already big enough?) 70mm TB, 65mm MAF, inside a MAC CAI. 30lb Injectors, some type of computer burn to tune it all up, and help it run to it's max potential. I'm thinking something like a B cam, Long tubes,(or shorties, what do you think?) O/R X pipe, DynoMax Mufflers(thinking about dumping behind the rear wheels, or keeping the straight out the back, think it would look cool dumped behind the rear wheels?) all that into a rebuilt,slightly Beefed up T5, with a Pro 5.0 Shifter. Aluminum Driveshaft to a rearend stuffed with 4.10 gears, posi unit, with 31 spline axles, 3" studs, and a new dif cover for added strength. a set of UPR "pro Street" Upper and Lower Control arms, Don't know about springs, I've got a set of SprangZ off of www.Mustangtuning.com right now.
I'm looking for a set of 17X9/17X10.5 rear 2003 Cobra Rims, with 245/45/17's up front,(undecided on Tire BRAND) and 295/35/17's out back(Nitto's). I'd like to add a 75-125 shot of giggle gas from NX.(wet system) don't think i'd need a bigger fuel pump would I? How about as far as the car cooling? I was going to run a Meziere Electric Water pump, with an Optima battery relocated to the trunk. do you think the Electric Water pump and factory Ford replacement Radiator will be ok?
The car already has a rear seat delete, No AC, and no Smog pump, as the Smog pump was making a metal on metal grinding noise, and the AC was broke,so i chunked them. the car isn't a daily driver so it's not a big deal, it's more of a toy...
I'll be leaving for deployment in a hair over a month, so i'll come back in May with some cash.
that is the little combo i've put together, care to critique it? i believe in constructive Critism, so go for it, i don't claim to be a car Genious, just somebody who's been watching and listening for a good few years, and think i can put a decent combo together, by the way, the ONLY part that would not be done by me, would be the rearend and gears,(local guy here in Va Beach, VA) the tranny rebuild, (My Buddies Girlfriends dad) and the machine work, and piston,rod,crank install (machine shop, don't know which one yet)
So, what does everyone think? will it work? any suggestions?
