If I kept it, I was planning ported head big valves, gutted and rotated intake, I have a massive FMIC for it, holset turbo with stinger tube header, 3" exaust, and a M.S. programer that does away with the vam. Top it all off with a 100hp wet shot. What would that net me?Ill tell you right now. Building a 2.3L is about 40% parts, and 60% your fuel and tuning.Get some big injectors and a good pump along with MS, a wideband, and some dyno time. Quote Selected

4bangen no more? Reply #35 – February 27, 2008, 07:44:32 AM Wes had $500 in the head, $250 in the Cam, $150 in the header and the Turbo would have cost $600 if he had bought it. He also had $300 in the Spec Stage 3 clutch. He put 389HP to the wheels on a Mustang Dyno. That would have been around 410 on a Dyno Jet. He drove the car for 4 years (about 60,000 miles) on a stock bottom end that we put rings and bearings in. The car was dead nuts dependable. He was running E85 when we put it on the dyno. We drove 300 miles to Richmond, Dynoed the car and drove 300 miles home. Quote Selected

4bangen no more? Reply #37 – February 27, 2008, 01:47:13 PM I really didn't care if you went V8 or kept the Turbo 4, I just wanted the Ford to stay Ford. Putting a GM into a Ford is NEVER acceptable. (And I am a street rodder!) Quote Selected
