What engine would be a good v8 swap into a s197 to make around 650

 

What's your budget?

Its a budget build, but taking place over like five years lol

 

Well you start with a biiig block of aluminum, then you start whittling.

 

Eh to lazy for all that lol

 

and Jon Kasse can tell you exactly what needs to be done.


Personally if I were on a 5 yr budget build, I'd get a coyote V8 build it up with a nice forged rotating assembly, port the hell out of the heads, bump the displacement to 5.8L put either phaser limiters or phaser eliminators in there and decide on what sort of forced induction I was going to use - roots, twin screw, centri or turbo. If your going with a centri or turbo you could top it off with the cobrajet intake for some added awesomeness and end up with 650hp+

 

It would be interesting to have a 351 pushrod in a newer mustang...

 

A 351 would be cool. Especially using the current crop of canted valve heads.

Talk about looking tiny though. Due to the need to fit the 5.4sc the S-197 engine bay just swallows anything smaller than a Boss 429.

 

That would be an interesting accomplishment to have a boss in it lol

 

Put an LS variant in it, people are putting them in everything else.

 

Lol I don't think a chevy in a ford would mull over well, plus budget lol

 

forge the 3v, slap a blower on it.

 

Yup!!

 

Thems fight'n werds there fella

 

Hahaha

 

This.



Or bore/stroke a 6.2 to a 7.0!

 

Yea, A bored and stroked 351 Windsor engine sure would look good in a car like that. The big thing is it should be easy to get some good flowing headers for it and you probably have a greater choice of aluminum heads than there are for even a small block chevy. Look at the combinations of the winning small block Ford engines built for PHR Engine Masters contest for ideas as to what combination to build.

 

How about a 572 Ford Big Block like this http://www.psfracer.com/Site_1/HOME.html

 

If your going to go pushrod, there is only one option
