Recipe for a big HP Fox Body
Hey guys, new member and first post. I have a '92 LX 5.0 that has about 150,000 miles on it and it still runs good but...I will be wanting about 600rwhp. I would like to be able get the car built and then eventually go drag racing once in a while. I have been reading about stroker motors of the 347 & 331 variety and the Vortech and Procharger superchargers. I am beginning to get information overload. There doesnt seem to be too much grey area, people either love or hate whatever SC is being discussed at any given moment. I would like to keep a full interior and AC too. I want to do the build once with the right parts but not break the bank (Im not sure of the official budget, she hasnt told me yet). Can I have the best of both worlds......big HP and streetability? Thanks in advance.
a dart block is excessive....
i'm sorry but if you want that power put in a 351 put on some spray or a s/c (spray being cheaper if you don't use it too much... ask for a s/c for xmas down the road or a b-day.... dont rush it... but my opinion if i could do it all over again is i would do a stock block 351 versus my 302 based motor... food for thought friend good luck. i make well over 500 rwhp with what you want it sounds... but "alot of hassle it was", yoda says....
