Sup folks, LA Native, new to the site but not to the hobby. I'm a non biased gear head looking for a little Mod Motor knowledge.

Here's my DD 89 LX 5.0 with dreams of turbocharged, 4v powa

AND here's my current project;

98 Z/28 T-Top
370 iron block (Wiseco -11cc slugs, Eagle Rods, Stock Crank, King bearings)
UMI Suspension
Strange SAs all 4 corners
Ported LS3 Heads
LS3 Intake Manifold
Twin Borg Warner Cast Wheel S300s - 66/68 .88 A/R
E85
TH400
9 Inch
Single Kirkey

I LOVE how it looks bare

Anywho considering a TT 4v for my 89 LX, looking for 7/800 hp for a fun street car. Cheers:beer:

Yea that scene is coo. Went to the picnic at CPR last year or the year before(forget which) and it just seemed weird. I knew a couple of people and chilled with them but the environment just dont seem to welcoming especially for a mustang dude like myself lol.

LS motors are BADASS and get respect from me, but talk about a modular motor and here come the chevy nutswingers smh, whether it be car club talk, or in person lol. Only seen a rare few dudes in that environment thats into mod motors.

Oh ok I've seen you on that page. The first car club talk was horrendous lmao. I was CONSTANTLY defending mod motors and It was fun until I was like damn they will NOT respect ford no matter what I say. Such ignorance lol. Either way welcome aboard and ready to see this foxbody build whenever it starts :beer:

Don't get me started on that insult to car culture!:nonono:. Mod motors are pretty bitchin, I just always thought the ones I wanted we waaaay out of my price range until I learned about the junkyard Intech stuff. I'm not sure if I want use my fox, get a Crown Vic or build a Terminator clone out of a 99-04

welcome!!!!

Thank you, funny name haha

Hahahaha yea u appreciate pushrods for the power to money ratio. I have a intech 5.4 block sittin at my house, was going to use it in my mach but then I got a cobra. I want a G8, or LS2 GTO in the future to see what all the hoopla's about concerning the LS's torque being so great lol. All those nutswingers need to ride in a terminator to feel the torque of a modular motor. Even my NA mach had some surprising torque in it for a little 281. :rolling:

The G8 and GTO are a bit to heavy to REALLY feel it, jump in a LS2 Vette or an LS2 swapped F Body with a 6 speed, you'll be smiling ear to ear:coolman::burnout:
