Rhett

I have two different bare blocks ones an 89 and the other is unknown but around early 90s late 80s

They should be about the same correct?

No findie. I did find a ford 460 for 450

That less than $1 for every Cubic Inch!!!!!:gabe:

I mean I have this Bare Block already for Cheap... the engine stand I will put it on will have cost more.

If I build this one as a 331 or 347 nitrous motor and max it out at 500-550 I will then buy a 351 or a BBF and start over for more... but still have a car to drive while doing so. But I think I will be more than content on 550. I loved my new edge and it was a couple hundred HPs less.

My suggestion is do what mrbolt said, save and buy a complete car, what are you putting this motor in?

It could go into a Fox, SN95, Ranger, FB or FC RX7... havent decided yet

Can't you get a new shortblock out of 5.0L magazines for like $600? I would do this.

Yes and those blocks are capable of closer to 600 hp

are these "Bare Blocks"

$1200 WOW im guessing you have never seen the car.

I will go $832

:lolguy:

331 for boost and a 347 for NA/ Nitrous.

 

 

Keep the revs low and don't have insane cylinder pressure at low RPMs and the block should survive for a little bit.

 

I would have sold you a much stronger 351 block for 50 bucks AHAHA

You still have said 351?

Why did you just up and buy a bare block anyway?

That's a great questions. Rhett, I thought I talked you out of this terrible idea. FYI, you can buy a complete long block for a few hundred dollars. Or a complete running mustang for $2k.

I got the Block from some one I knew and decided it would be a good starting point. I paid $20 for it. So if I decide to go a diferent route Ill sell it on CL for $20

I dont have a car to put it in, but thats ok... there are tons of cars to swap a SBF into cheap-ish. I wanted to build the motor first, take my time and do it right for what I want to do with it. I dont have the money to buy a car just yet. so this is something I want to peice together as I go and not rush it and learn some.

n2o motors have a large ring gap so make sure you set a limit on what amount your gonna spray and stick with it.

 

the rest is just all just strong internals and good heads. just get everything so the motor is "E FISH ANT". because my motor is so efficent I run low 11's high 10's with no spray and I will be shooting a bit to it next year. and my motor isnt anything special just well matched parts.

Define good heads. Could you give an example please?... Like I said Im new to this.

Built 2 motors

Cant afford it..

Nitrous and turbo motors are different animals. Pick which one you want and build for that.

Well lets go with a nitrous motor build for now then. who knows maybe I'll get Linn syndrome and "Like the way it Hits!"

Then maybe later down the road pull it back out and set it up for a turbo when I have the extra cash flow to do so.

So Nitrous Motor Build... GO!!

the problem is ther is a lot that you will have to change when going boosted unless you build it "stock".. ring gaps will be way diff between the two and so will compression so build it right the first time for what your going to do in the end.

.. I wont be able to go boosted prob till next winter or so. So How can I build it to either run N/A or Spray for a year but still be done right for the turbo set up... this is kind of new territory for me

I now own a SBF 302 Bare Block.

What would you guys do from the ground up?

I would like for it to handle 500-550 whp.

First Power adder I would do is Nitrous, Eventually save up enough for a good turbo kit and a cam for the boosted application.

But other than Changing the Cam, I plan on building it to support the Turbo when its time.

So please learn me on compression and what internals I should look for.. I dont want to waste monies if I dont need to.

There is not a set budget as of yet.. but I will figure that out eventually.

Thanks!

+1 for a good place to work!

If you have questions about Sales PM me

Its Concealed Right....

I know Ill get hate for this but. Other than Gov buildings I still carried mine. Better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it.

Also, do you think you'll not need it in said establishments because of a sign... nope
