[QUOTE="nooner, post: 10501458, member: 101093"] I need to replace my engine. My goal is 600-650 rwhp. My first plan was to have a Boss 5.0 built and port my Eaton. It was pointed out that the Eaton would be the limiting factor so I decided to go Whipple, but the added cost for the Whipple made me rethink my original idea. My mechanic found a set of ported, polished, cammed heads from another Cobra for $3,000 (originally had $5,000 work done on them), so adding them to a new Aluminator short block for $3,550 from Tousley will drastically reduce cost so I can afford the Whipple. The heads will be cleaned up with new valves and guides put in. So this is the plan... New Aluminator short block used ported, polished, cammed heads (new valves & guides) Whipple 2.3 Billetflow idlers and upper pulley Accufab single blade throttle body JLT billet 110mm MAF w/Mafia JLT carbon fiber Ram Air intake kit & c/f heat shield Lethal & Fore's new Budget Return Style Fuel System 60lb injectors Moroso 7 qt Aluminum Deep Sump Oil Pan Bassani mid length headers (ground clearance is an issue) Bassani o/r x-pipe SpinTech full length s/f connectors plus parts from my old engine Other major mods I already have... Mcleod RST 26 spline clutch FTBR delrin IRS bushings w/aluminum diff bushing LPW Aluminum IRS Diff Cover SpinTech mufflers into Roush side exhaust Roush s/f connectors (welding in w/SpinTech s/f connectors) I still need talk with my mechanic to finalize things but I would like to know what you experts think. A local service shop forgot to put oil in my old engine so that's why I'm replacing it. I pretty much don't know what I'm doing. Am I forgetting something? Am I adding something I don't need? What size upper pulley do you think I would need? Are 60lb injectors big enough? Thanks for any advice you can give me. [/QUOTE]
