F150 trans needs a shifter cable adapter but bolts in fine. Not sure about other engine bellhousing patterns. Whatever you chose you have to program the valve body to the car.
Every combo is a bit different of coarse. Mine had VMP 15 o/o 8 rib lower and 3.5 upper “I think”. Built motor, JLT big air, twin 65mm TB, CJ exhaust cams, 1 7/8 shorties off road X and GT500’s. Think it was 12-13 psig. Just changing mufflers on my car changed boost pressure, so for what it’s...
The 11-14 hat is a straight fitting the hose connector is a 90. I drilled out the fitting through the hat, it’s very, very small and there is plenty of room to enlarge it. Sai tunes my car and he said I had plenty of fuel at 705 whp on pump gas NOT E85.
I put a Waldo 465L in my stock hat. It wasn’t easy but can be done. I drilled the outlet fitting as big as possible and ran Gates 3/8 submersible fuel line from the pump to the T and the T to the outlet. With a BP I’ve got plenty of fuel for 705 rwhp from an old Whipple.
Anyone can learn to rebuild an engine. That being said the modular platform is more challenging to do. Get all the tech info you can and decide whether or not it’s an achievable goal. If not buy a remanded or crate engine. It’ll have a warranty as well, where your rebuilt motor is your problem.
As said just switch over the brake caliper plate from gt to the gt500. The rear caliper is the same between cars, just a rotor size increase on the 500. You will need to pull the axles to do this.
I called BS myself on the gains but Sai assured me it was correct. Same tuner and dyno however different days. My motor is a built 5.2 by the way guess that could help. I really didn't think the crappy stock manifolds were that bad. Until you look at how there made and then compare them to how...
Put headers on it now! My Whipple car made 640 thru stock headers, 3"
Off-road X pipe, stock OAP and GT500 mufflers. All I did was add On3 shorty headers 1-7/8 with 3" collector. Had it retuned and it jumped to 705 and I was shocked! Pump gas car. Defined back to 680 for saftey and I started...
There are other factors to take into account with ring end gaps. A cast iron block vs alum the alum with cast iron sleeve or plasma wire arc liner. They all require different gaps depending on thermal expansion. One size does not fit all.
The problem is they don't manufacture a gen 1 engine anymore. Why make gen 1 parts for a small group of crate engines. Besides you probably have a gen 1, so use the cams, gears and chains from it. Just replace your guides, if the gen 2 are to narrow. I'd need to dig through parts to see if there...
