[QUOTE="wallywagon, post: 12603946, member: 136298"] Hey guys, my best bud is in the process of planning a build with the center piece being a Gen I 66' Mustang and being as such I thought I would solicit you all for opinions and advice on the powertrain. His budget is around 10K so please don't throw out any ridiculous ideas. His goal I believe is to have around 650-700 HP (maybe with a used procharger or my old Eaton if we could shoehorn it at all) in the end. He is not an avid drag-racer/circuit driver, but who is to say that he won't give it a shot when he has a car that can compete?! Anyway, for reference I know he was looking into a used coyote motor from one of the 5 liter guys but found that the engine bay fabrication required for a comfortable fit would be a financial burden in the long run. Do any have you know anyone that has gone through this situation and come out on top? I would love to hear all your suggestions and FWIW he has a 4 barrel 302 as it sits. What short block should he start with if going from scratch? Should he stroke/bore/build out his existing 302? Should he consider a different motor all together? Thanks so much for all of your opinions! Chris [/QUOTE]
