Example 1: T70 turbo, ported E7 or unported gt40P heads, explorer intake, proM maf, 42lb injectors, 10-15psi.
450-500+ hp at the wheels. Enough power to split the block clean in 2. How much do you have to send on a 6 for the same result? |

Plenty more examples of big hp bolt on combos on the coral.net or turbo mustangs.

lets not clog up this build thread to much and not turn it into a 6 vs v8 argument,
but 600rwhp is easy had on b series turbos.. |

Haha don't think I'd go a v8 , only in an older car anyway .
Does anyone know why fg rods / bf pistons won't fit in a el block ? Is because I need a AU crank ? Swc has a good block I can buy , but I want to fit some good rods to it . I'm keen to try what misk done .

Difference is that the Rods between E series and AU/B series is the length and the Pistons have different pin heights.

Try these, http://www.spoolimports.com/spool-conro ... ef-conrods
As the block already has ACL Piston as well as rings and bearing, you only need to buy the rods if that is the way you want to go. |

I think I'll go that way and just buy rods to suit your block . Most of the work has been done . Would I still need it balanced with new rods ?

Yep new rods will require the bottom end to be balanced. Its good cheap insurance anyway.

Thanks, I don't want another motor letting go, especially after I've put decent rods in it.

Could break traction in 2nd without abusing the clutch. Just lean on the throttle and away you go. Do you know roughly how much he charges ? And he uses someone else's dyno doesn't he?

Well now that I'm pretty much building a new engine . What can I do to get a good comp ratio for 20 psi ? I've heard of using 2 AU head gaskets . I will get a head stud kit aswell .

Id be inclined to go a decomp plate if required.
As you said if your doing it do it properly.

30 or 25cc distop pistons would be the better way to do it. ACL do a decomp plate as well. 2 1.3mm MLS gaskets would also do the trick.
