build thread for 2003 Mach1 5.0 stroker
- Thread starter wikdlx
- Start date
cubic inches equals horsepower, I'm running a Vortech with about 15psi on E85. The boss blocks are thin, I went with a cobra block as they are tried and true. When you buy the engine, the stroker isnt that much much, but the slightly larger cylinder bore and stroke will increase flow too

Would you sell it and if so what's your location. Need one bad
Looking great - I'm very interested in this install! I'm gearing up for my 'upgraded' D1SC install this fall on my Mach 1 so the more info & pictures you can provide would be great.
Is there a reason you installed the bypass valve post intercooler?

it really doesnt matter which side of the i/c it is on, I just didnt want it low b/c the car is street driven and didnt want to take the chance of it sucking in any water
more pics to come, I pick the car up this weekend. I'm taking a vacation and when I get back I will be installing the new dual pump E85 fuel system. I will have the engine tunes with the new fuel and MAF prior to installing the new engine. I want a real comparison of what I pick in in HP and tq with the stroker, ported heads and cams
Who did you use for your intake porting/short runner mod? Last time I checked Nazt wasn't responding to anyone, back in the day that's who I used. I have a completely stock Orange Comp Mach 1 on my hands that I'm about to put some wrenches to. Turbo build plans! Anyhow, about that intake mod.. who'd you use? Build looks great!
I'm still making short runners and selling custom cams also
i hope for some good word on the MMR built motor.
I'll PM you with my build ideas and we'll talk. Nice to see you're still doin your thing man!

Location is fine since its still before the MAF.
Correct - but I guess I was referring to it being 'post-intercooler' rather than venting the 'hot' air if it was installed 'pre-intercooler' & closer to the headunit itself. Wondering if there was a specific reason (maybe space) he went 'post-intercooler' was all.

I just haven't had the time to install the engine, but I did install MMR's upper radiator hose kit and the lower hose kit that eliminates the huge overflow tank and the bypass hose. Needless to say it takes some time to do, this is where I'm at.
when tuning we had to move the BOV further away from the MAF, so its now on the inlet side of the tubing going into the intercooler.
Car made 491 but ran out of fuel so we had to stop the pull at 5500. The is on the stock engine with long tubes, cats, throttle body and Vortech with a 3.15 pulley

With your crossover delete... I think I'm running a similar setup. You have that overflow tank with only one fitting from the filler cap?

Pretty similar. I got a mishimoto overflow can that I mounted near the cap. Reason I ask is that I'm having cooling issues that I'm trying to narrow down. Have you had any?
