Problem is there is so much variation, 2V, 4v and 3v heads eetc. I want to put about 400 hp to the ground. The crate 5.0 sounds like a good start but at $15,000 when I've built several dozen engines?<br />Common guys whats a good start? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>93PONY</b> <br /><small>Member # 60</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,10,7,21,15,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> 400RW N/A?<br />That's very difficult & you're only real option is the 4V setup with a high RPM intake/camshaft setup with steep rear end gears.<br /><br />My opion is that the 2V stuff is FAR better priced. They perform quiet well with boost (once adequetely beefed up on the bottom end) & make all their power below 6500rpm. (vs 7500 with a high RPM 4V)<br /><br />My personal preference would be a 3.75 stroker iron block setup with CNC 2V heads, custom camshafts & 10psi from a turbo kit.<br />We saw 540RWTQ @4000rpm from this setup on 91 octane, 10psi boost, & only 11 degrees total timing. Tuning issues prevented us from reving it past 4500rpm where it made 475RWHP, but it probably would have peaked around 500RW @ 5500rpm. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>tonster</b> <br /><small>Member # 6093</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,10,7,22,55,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> out of curiousity, how much is he looking at spending for a 400rwhp 2v forced induction setup? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>93PONY</b> <br /><small>Member # 60</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,10,8,0,44,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by tonster:<br /><strong> out of curiousity, how much is he looking at spending for a 400rwhp 2v forced induction setup? </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Depends...<br />There's plenty of stock motors that run around with 400RWHP & a good tune....& I've seen 380RWHP motors pop within days of getting a blower. A bullet proof bottom end is going to cost a few grand.<br />Price of power adder also is a huge variable. Nitrous kits sell for as low as a few hundred....the above turbo kit cost $6K (with K-member, A-arms, fuel pump, injectors, mass-air, intercooler, etc, etc) it's a FULL kit. Kenne bell kits are around $5K. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
