I just have no clue on what kind of power it will make, but it looks good

 

[angcobra]

It's just a fun poll. Nobody but you will know what you guessed. At least in this one you will later get see the correct answer.

 

[SQ Stang]

Well I guessed 401-450

Me too.

Here is the car and a pic when I pulled the engine. Other pictures will follow.

Very clean looking fox you have there...the pic with no engine is a weird site to see when it's your car. I remember that when my engine blew and had to get another one...really sucked not being able to drive my car for 4 months while all the parts were coming together. That's going to be one mean car once you get the engine in there :thumbsup:

some progress pics
Polishing Hawks Racing 4130 Forged stroker crank

After notching for rod bolts with longer stroke

SCAT forged H-style Rods

Trick Flow forged dished pistons 9.1/1 with my heads

Just after milling block decks, stock machining had 1 deck .014 lower than the other

everything is balanced and build should start on Monday.

I am so ready to put it together. I am sure no one else would have this problem but, I am having a hard time getting the machine shop to get done. I thought they balanced everything last week but, I went over there this afternoon and they were balancing it when I was there. I still have hopes of getting the engine together in the next 2 weeks and then start the install.

 

[SQ Stang]

Believe me, things will take longer than you intend. I had planned on 2 months...it ended up being 3 months. i swear these people that build engines don't work fast at all if it's not their car. They work as slow as they can since you most likely already paid the money for it to be done.

 

[angcobra]

Update! Crank and pistons in, girdle is on, oil pan is on.
Head installation in progress.

Nice, keep us posted!

I would guess about 390 to around 420 in that range with that amount of boost. I coulnt vote for both so I thought I would post.

 

[angcobra]

Update, engine and trans are bolted in. Since many things were "rigged" it may take a little time to hook things up right.

 

[angcobra]

almost done, should fire it off tomorrow.

 

[angcobra]

Got held up by late arriving MAF meter, it is now installed, fired it off today. I will put some miles on it tomorrow and then off to the dyno.

Good luck!! :beer:

I think with that and only 6 lbs of boost over 400 don't think it'll reach 500 but could be close. Sounds like you should have a sweet running motor though. You'll easily have the block maxxed out with a little more boost. It'll soon be time for a better block
