Final Count Down!!

my father wants a list on what i want for my motor in 2 days. i have a 4grand limit. i was thinking on a HO and a blowzilla, flowzilla KB blower it should produce around 350RWHP with my underdrive pullies and full exhaust.
does that sound good?

350RHP and a 4000 dollar budget is tuff a rebuild is half your budget so a power adder is your best bet. if you choose a PA tell your machine shop first

If you’re doing a stock rebuild you can get set of gt40 or gt40p irons at a bone yard cheap.
Intake 96 and up explorer are gt40
On your cam selection when ordering inform the of what trany your using converter speed and WHAT POWER ADDER you chose.
Maf conversion a must

I paid 200 for my gt40 heads from my local J/Y and 150 for U & L intake

Try and leave extra in the budget for a brake upgrade don’t for get for going quick you gotta stop.

Pull the AOD, put a 2800 or 3000 stall, Shift kit, A+ servo, New clutches and everything.
Pull the rear, 3.73's or 4.10's, New clutch pack
Pull the motor, gt40 heads(cleaned up) exploder/cobra/gt40 Intake, Get a cam, do a mass air conversion, headers.
Put all back together, and drive it and be AMAZED on what that does for the car.
Forget the supercharger on a stock AOD, and stock rear end. Its like trying to pull a car using a giant 4 ton tow hook, and a piece of string.

KB's build up alot of heat. They don't have an intercooler kit for the 5.0's and it would take alot of fabbing. Granted, a KB with heat would be better than no KB and cold air. You could also get past the heating with a small N2o shot.

Never said it wouldnt, but I think his money would be better spend building a good base motor, and setting up the trans and rear for the extra power. Not my car though

We don't need no stinkin' heat! KB's are fine in northern areas that never get that hot.
