Would love too.
Unfortunately after finally getting what I think is the most reliable engine/transmission combo (added forward billet planetary gears with latest 6r80 rebuild ) in the car I just listed it for sale .
Not many bites and won’t be sad if I keep it .
Just afraid to race it again . Lol
That is awesome !
Your car is going to be nasty .
Another RPG build ? What heads ?
I am loving the one in my Hellion TT S550.
It’s as smooth as butter .
Is that Scott Hasty ?
I thinks it’s probably 3500 lbs though?
Engine was built by Will @RPG and is truly badass .
He also built the predator based short block in my Hellion car with GT350 heads and the ford racing Gen 2 cams (I presume similar set up in the GT 500)
My Car made 969 whp@13 psi...
Here is an example of what a “5.2” will make upping the boost /20 psi .
Blower is a 3.2 KB/3.25 upper pulley/20% OD and heads are stock GT (car used to have GT 350 heads and trapped 145-148 mph with bigger 3.5 pulley). Transmission is 2.66 first gear Magnum XL with 3.31 rear end.
Information about the supercharger 5.2 was included in the press release on 4/18/18.
2018 Cobra Jet Announcement
I bet it uses the 5.2 alluminator XS as originally announced with billet OPG (before they switched it to the GT350 OPG/pan) and lower compression ration .
Obviously the 4.56's won't work with the KB car since I trap high 140's(looking for low 150's ).
I have toyed around with swapping in a 4.56 pumpkin in my GT 350 to see how it feels .....I was going to strap on a whipple(sitting in boxes since feb) but now getting cold feet .
Lol
When I did my Magum swap XL (2.66 first gear ) swap in my KB car I kept the 3.31's I had with my MT82 .
Now that was a slug on the street ...but it allowed me to stay in third gear up to 148 mph with a 27 inch tire.
I thought one less shift would increase my chances of going 9's but it was...
So are you going to add a Whipple to your R ?
Thinking of doing the same(mine is a lowly tech pack) especially if the GT 500 is "only" going to be a supercharged 5.2.-Probably will have the 5.2 alluminator XS with lowered compression/TVS 2650.
Not sure it's enough to give up my other 2 15 GT's...
Those specs above are old.
It now uses the GT 350 oil pump and pan (?no billet gears)
That cam part number is the same for the gen 2 cams. M52(gen 2) NOT M52A(gen 1)
Lol.
No , the $35K does not include the cost of the car.
The premium car alone is $35K new.
5.2 sleeved long block(including GT 350 heads) is about $15K including other engine hardware like ARP head studs/crank gear/OPG/head cooling mod/secondary chains/tensioner bracket/billet dowel pins/brace...
That's what I did .
covered both options of FI/transmissions and had my own "5.2 alluminator XS plus(sleeves)/minus(cams)" built.
1.Base(seats swapped for Fx1) S550/3.2 KB-8 rib/Tremec magnum XL/sleeved 5.2(11:1)/GT350 heads(stock cams-GT 350 spec cams have been on back order for ever,upgraded...
Yes
I sent the block to MMR but decided to go with a new block as will need some work.
I had a buyer but it was going to cost too much to have MMR ship the block since he was only offering $225 and was going to cost $175 to ship .
The rest of the stuff is here with my local engine builder .
What...
I tried everything but the only way to be able to use paypal is to pay it all.
I tried just making a "layaway" payment for 50% but it wont take me to paypal if I do that
Not ready for the block yet but just wanted to secure the 10% discount.
I also have a 2015 bare block I could reuse for a...
Does not work at least using paypal.
I was trying to use pay pal to pay 50% down(I have been doing some brisk business of my own selling old stuff and don't want to move the money into my account where it may be "discovered" if you catch my drift.)
Can I just pay pal the amount using layaway and...
looking to take advantage of this deal on another MMR1500 block
I want to do layaway and pay it off before spring.
How do I make a layaway payment?
only option online is for FULL payment
