2 Sweet Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 When I was 18 I had the same idea for my high-mileage '92 Camaro. Slightly wrecked with a salvage title, shitty paint, slow and worn out 305. I wanted to swap in a 383 and T56. Fast forward to today. The car is still exactly the same as it was four years ago, except it's got even more miles on it now and is even more worn out, and looks even shittier than it did. Basically, what I'm saying is it's nice to dream, but at some point you might realize that it's just not possible financially. Don't be surprised if shit doesn't go as you plan. I still don't have a clue when the hell my Camaro project will take off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boosted98gst Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 If you live in your own appt/home, pay your own bills and have money left over for your car then I say go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hal Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 4.6 is a bad platform...ford failed big time when they developed it...the only mod motor i would put into this car is a 4v out of a cobra or a 4v out of a lincoln navigator...i cant even find a motor from a navigator, and people think cobra motors are made of gold and want 4-5grand for a 80k miles 4v cobra motor (not a termie motor) Wrong and it's not a "termie". Ever. You can pick up a brand new Cobra '03-'04 longblock from Tousley Ford for $3700. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hal Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 and still need a ton of other money and parts to make that swap happen aswell! Not that many really. The biggest thing would just be wiring harnesses. The rest he can pick up for a good price depending on how he wants to go with the setup. No fab is required and, no screwing around with the K and suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I asked was they sold stuff that cheap, most average coilovers cost more then 350$ to replace for 1. I did not realize they were just some sleved perch and spring.

Cordell Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Do what you want to do Tyler. People all have their own stupid opinions. If I listened to everyone about my car it would be slower, a lot slower. BTW my car isn't paid off either, I don't care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 yea i know stuff could happen, but if it does then it does...if the car gets stolen then either way im going to take a hit... i could walk outside my door and get shot randomly, but thats not gonna keep me inside....theres people on this site with stuff thats actually worth stealing, if they want my car i feel sorry for them and if something does happen, then you have a pile of bb parts, and a drivetrain to drop into another mustang. the great part is, the swap parts fit everything from 79-04! other then the k member!, which we would not need if i just make some mounts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92dropgt Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 pull the block, put forged rods and pistons in, PI head swap and then turbo it. it will cost less than the engine swap and will be very dependable and be fast as shit. if you think the 4.6 is the worst motor from ford ever you are one stupid dipshit and should probly sell your car.

Guest Hal Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 really! all the stuff from his 2v will just bolt right on? how complete is this "longblock"? intake to pan? Pan to covers, I addressed the intake when I mentioned his "setup". He would need to determine if he wanted to go roots blower, or turbo/centri blower. The two would require different intakes. I'm more than aware that the 2v and 4v parts are not interchangeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92dropgt Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 cobra crank was supposed to find its way in there, excuse the fuck outve me, and didnt know about the PI heads, wasnt 100% sure what years had them. dependable 4.6 with 160k on it comes after you replace the rotating assembly and bore and hone the block. the blocks are plenty strong and will hold up to what he will throw at it. switching out to a bbf would just be a waste of time unless this thing is going to be built into a full out drag car meant for sub 10's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wants to make a ton of power in the future, it would be wise to upgrade from a Cobra crank. They have been showing a weak spot lately. Blocks also can become a big problem depending on multiple variables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
