She must not have ever ridden in an LS1 F-body then.....


LOL, j/k

Is the Cobra ready yet?

 

Ohhhhhhhhh...

 

Glad to hear it man...I knew you guys would.
I buried her. LOL
Um...sure.

 

Nope, its back in the shop. The motor lost oil pressure and now I'm trying to figure out if I'm going to have to spend more money or if the builder is going to make it good.

If you are looking for a good race I know of a little stock block 5.0 that would run ya. And no, its not the one in my sig.

 

I'm always up for a good run.

 

By stock block do you mean the block or the internals aswell, cause i have a close friend with a 91 lx with a stock block making just over 600hp.

 

I dunno

 

I saw you from across the room and i felt compelled to tell you, that you have a magnificent hiney. Wait wait let me start over, I WANNA BE ON YOU

 

 

Man, he's running on borrowed time...

 

I was bored and goin over the movie anchor man in my head, and just decided to type that. sorry for the

 

He been running that setup for 2 years, and thats what we thought when we got the whole thing together, but it hasnt blown yet lol. He also has a ford fairmont that hes putting a big block into, but he is gonna have to save up for a long time to get the 2 turbos he wants for it. Should make around 1400rwhp when done

 

Is it the block that came into the car, or is it a 60's "Mexican" block? Those are stronger.

 

That is INCORRECT sir.

I know 60s stangs better than I do Mach 1s.

"Mexican" blocks are the same cast. The difference is in teh main caps which were larger.

 

I always heard the Mexican 302s were the stronger ones? Did they change nothing in the webbing? And if it's not the Mexican blocks, which ones are they

 

The blocks themselves weren't stronger. The 60s castings weren't changed in regards to 'metal'. The changes were in the caps, and bolt size was increased. It was a 'built to handle higher rpms'.

Ever hear of the HIpo 289?....I think you'd be Shocked at all the 'roomers' about that thing.

 

So... what's the 302 block that isn't known for cracking down the middle around 500-550rwhp?

 

The block in the mustang is the 302 block that came with the 91 lx 5.0, cylinders refinished, then it goes from there , the crank was forged that year i believe and the he had forged pistons and rods and then everything else done, with a 67trim turbo. Stand alone fuels managment, the weak parts of the car is the block which he said he wants to buy a dart 351 and build that with his turbo kit and his tranny, the suspension and rear end are built to handle the power
