well here is me and my buddys project...both of us are 15 btw way...who says young people cant work on cars :rolleyes:

 

well here's the deal...my buddy bought a 95 3.8 5 speed stang last monday that needed an oil pump...we put a new oil pump on it and had it running perfect. today the engine built to much pressure and blew it out...

 

so we have decided that were putting a motor out of a supercoupe in it...

 

the motor me and my buddy built will be good for about 220rwhp..pretty much a basic rebuild with some porting and cleaning up of heads.....were going to over drive it 15%...5% blower and 10% jackshaft pulley later on and see if we can get around 17lbs out of the ported 93 blower.

 

 

 

 

here is what were starting with...rust free 98k miles with no rust and clear title... :nice:

 

were pulling the 3.8 out after school tuesday...

 

here are the pics..it will be getting painted ect later on..maybe some 18" bullets!

FYI on forced induction, specifcally roots style blowers, its not all about psi....

 

FI motors are also very unforgiving when it comes to tuning, so try to tread lightly.

 

Oh, and nice work, keep it up :)

 

 

The SC motor handles boost mighty well...my buddie was making 20 psi on a stock (rebuilt) bottom end in his motor with no issues before he sold it. Mine is probably making between 14 and 15 psi daily driven just fine.

before you try to get 17lbs out of it you need to build up the internals. If your budy has some money see if he can get a 4.2 shortblock since you have the engine already out.then he will be able to beat gts

 

congrats on progress. its always easier to take the old engine out. not that easy to get the new one in, most of the time.

 

o yea get a new intercooler. the stock one kinda sucks

If he wanted to beat stock GT's wouldn't he just throw a 5.0 in it for cheap as shit?

 

Just put giant injectors in if you are doin' it Martin style. He beats GT's all day.

alright sorry for shiting on your thread. kevin, wiring harness are pricy and im pretty shure he would find a 5.0 at a junkyard for 500+ and then he would need a speedometer comming from the same motor along with the key or else he would need another 100bucks to get around the whole PATS problem and who else knows what could be wrong with the motor since it has been sitting out in the open for the sky to piss on it.

 

p.s. i have stock injectors. horray for 19lbs

interinals are forged stock.......the bottom end will handle it...not so sure on head gakets...im not sure if we can get that much Boost out of the M90 or not...i guess we will see...going to get the engine in it and running and get a few miles on it before the boost gose up...
