build motor

[bumsoil]

I'm putting together a list of parts to buy to build my motor. Its happening soon.

What all will I need. I want a motor that will handle 600hp without an issue. Its a 96 cobra with a healthy motor. I have a local shop that will be doing the machine work.
The plan is to run a on3 turbo kit. But i dont want to run too low of compression.

Keep your crank, Manley h beam rods, Manley small dish pistons if pump gas, flat tops if your running the good stuff.

Main studs/head studs, new bearings

I believe stock fuel rails are at their limit around 550whp

My rails are at 575 right now. Prob could push them to 600 with a big injector

run flat tops, custom cams and at 15psi you will make over 600.

I've had stock rails at 630 with a set of 60s and 93 octane.

Have your stock block bored the smallest amount they need to bore it in order to get back into specs for out of round, etc. Reuse the stock kellog crank and keep it a 4.6. Grab a set of forged rods and pistons, not entirely sure what compression ratio to recommend but I'd think no lower than 9:1. ARP main and head studs, all new gaskets and timing chains, stock heads, custom cams, stock intake manifold.

Custom cams are key to an awesome turbo combination.

Don't forget you will need money for the less-fun stuff also, using a new complete gasket kit, ford timing kit, new water pump, hoses, new sensors and such will be over $1000. A new set of lash adjusters is a bit expensive also.

About 15 ago I did a head gasket and rebuilt my heads with new ford valve springs and lash adjusters. New stem seals and stuff. All new gaskets in the intake bout 1k ago. So the motor has some work. I have a good clutch for boost.

I want to hold 6-800 daily

 

[1BD9D7]

Ok, I was just making sure you don't forget about that stuff lol. We just finished an engine and were able to reuse the arp head and main studs, manley rods, and some other parts but I could not believe how expensive it ended up being. Right now I am planning to use a vortech for over 500 rwhp and I can't decide how bad I need to upgrade the trans, I really like the t45.

I have been talking to zach at t45 source. He says with a basic rebuild they are good for 450-500.
How much do you have into yoir motor?
