I have been talking over the past week with my now current engine builder about a new motor for my car. Some say i got bored and need more power and durability...We have gone back and forth with numerous ideas and we have come to a conclusion of what it should be built like. I'm is looking for approximately 700Hp. I think this should accomodate that and then some. Durability shouldn't be a problem since My builder has never had one of his engines blown up and he knows where I lives so if i do break it or don't maintain this motor in meticulous condition, He will come to NY and kick my ***....

So, at the beginning of April, The build process begins. Below is a parts list of what is going in the motor. After completing the longblock, the KB will be set back on top of it and all the sensors/wiring, etc. attached and it will be ready to go.

This thread will be a journal of the build. I will post everything I can, including pics, during the build and then I will continue it with the final assembly and installation and dyno/track results. Final Assembly will be done at Piedmont Modular Performance, PMP for short.

To start with, these are the major parts.....

#1 Bearings will be Clevite 77 if available. If not available, then I will use either Seal-Power or Ford

3. These items must be provided to complete the build and to be able to seal the bottom end of the motor from contaminents during shipping.

 

You know you'll hit 1000HP with the NOS. Keys please.

Awesome Ron. Congrats!

 

Ron that thing is going to be hairy!

 

i forgot to add these things earlier but these will be some of the supporting mods to the motor

 

Stock displacement, or going bigger?

 

Is the transmission going to handle that?

 

Nope!! At least not for long. But go for it.

Ron... while you're at it, ditch the tranny and get a 4R70W with a transbrake!!

 

What's the budget look like for this build?

 

Like this...








$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

If anyone here should know it would be you Don. Are we going to get somemore drag race vids this weekend or is the alternator issue keeping you at home?

It must be nice to have that kind of money to spend on your stang.

 

Stock displacement. the strokers arent as reliable as the non strokers and require much more maitenance.

with a rebuilt tranny repalcing the internals and a 26 spline input shaft she should be ok. eventually im switching to the 6 speed

i doubt it would survive a week on a stock tranny lol

haha i will never give up the manual tranny

What don said!

i hope i hit the lotto to make the pain easier lol

 

I posted some from last week, did you see them?

And yes, I plan on being at the track this Saturday (March 3). I'm having my alternator rebuilt as we speak... Ford wanted $470 for a new one. The rebuilt alternator is supposed to be done tomorrow. If it is, then I'll be at the track.

Whoops.... sorry Ron. Didn't mean to hijack. Blame Scott.

 

If you do, can I borrow some money?

 

no problems. is it being rebuilt to stock specs or better?

absolutely. i owe you for all the help

 

Hey Ron,
Glad to see the parts list getting more and more complete.
Did you confirm the ARP part numbers for the head studs and the main studs to be 05+ specific?
I know many people were using the earlier head studs and not screwing them in all the way.

 

Yes... I'll let you know how it turns out.

 

Ron - I've got a 4R70W we can rebuild for your car sitting in the garage now! I've even got an 8 bolt flexplate already

Larry is on it Peter!
