Hey guys,
I can't decide on which route I want to go. I'm not looking for anything radical. 400-450hp and reliable.
Currently my 90 coupe has a hci that's a very old setup. Has your usual pushrod leaks and such.
I've debated on buying a sbf long block from FordStrokers. More than likely a 331, 347, or a 363. Would be an aftermarket block and probably overkill.
Or a coyote swap which seems way more involved. But I want something I can just jump in and drive anywhere.
Currently my car has a 03-04 cobra IRS. I'd also like to ditch the T5 and possibly go with a T56. Maybe a different transmission if I plan on a coyote swap.
Ultimately, I should set a budget. But these changes won't happen all at once. If I could source a coyote engine I'd buy it, and set it aside for a while.
The Windsor based long block is around 9k. And that's not including intake and fuel upgrades....
I'm not sure if I could tackle a coyote swap on my own? Plus it would need a different k member, ect.
Help!
