[QUOTE="Quick Strike, post: 14770684, member: 11920"] I know many consider 450 HP as a good safe limit for the stock Mach shortblock. You will need all forged internals if you want an 800 HP shortblock. Depending on auto or standard, your engine may already have the forged crank. The forged 03-04 cobra rods will get you there with ARP 2000 capscrews, and forged pistons are available off the shelf from a number of manufacturers used in engines that see 800-1000 HP regularly. Then it is a matter of ARP main and head studs and reusable side bolts. Then there are the machining costs to balance the assembly and fit the new parts. A good aftermarket oil pump is another key. I personally like king bearings. I had about $7500 in my long-block as listed [URL="http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?771719-For-anyone-going-twin-screw-real-world-cost&p=10706294&viewfull=1#post10706294"][U][COLOR="#0000FF"]here[/COLOR][/U][/URL] without the non-engine related parts (clutch, radiator, etc). Reliable big power is possible, but not cheap. I would see if there is a link to the manual in the stickies above, or search manual links for a recent download. [/QUOTE]
