What engine are you going to use?

Just for you Ron,





It has all of the wiring, pedals, etc that Ford usually charges an arm and a leg for. Hell, I might even keep the log manifolds. I Might have to go with a dry sump to be able to drop the engine a couple inches. The height from the bottom of the frame rail to the top of the hood is about 30"

I think the real reason Greg doesn't want to put a mod motor in a '32 is because he'd end up with a roadster so tall he'd have to use a step rail from an F350 to get in. These engines are stupid tall...like Rodger tall.

If I wasn't trying to build a car on a "budget" I'd build a Coyote 5.0 with a whipple and a forged bottom end. 650hp with the ability to happily rev to 7000rpm (or more) is just downright cool. There is also a company making a 351 stroker kit...

Without any other mods the 2011 Mustang 5.0 made 389 at the wheels with the addition of long tube headers.

IIRC adding a tune and other normal bolt-ons those cars are over 500 fwhp already.

^ Great post Matt! "Roger tall" had me laughing...

That's what I thought, too

I like what Hollywood Hot Rods did with the new 5.0 DOHC for their Raybestos Brakes project.

Hey Skip - I saw that car at SEMA. HHR took all the FI off, modded the valley cover and fabbed up some old school Ford 427 valve covers. Came out pretty nice!

Edit: was that in the video?

You don't even want to know what the HHR Coyote motor cost to make it cool looking like Troy did that one....

A shop owned by a good friend of mine. They do a lot of Ford stuff, but he's an old Pontiac guy. They are going to fab the top of the tunnel ram base and mount the big Accufab throttle body on the front. Already have the valve covers setup for the 8 coils. The T&D shaft setup is getting installed on the heads in a week or so. Were pretty sure it will make ~720 HP normally aspirated. The Procharger should add another 450 easy. Street/strip. LSM in Detroit did the CNC lightening. The detail work is amazing. Block is 245# as cast. Its 185# now. And still way strong enough for what Im building.

Ls2 with a 2.8HO KB

581BBC with an F2 procharger set back as far as possible.
