Hello all, new here but got big plans. I need some advise in addition to just sharing my build so here goes.
I've got a 2012 GT and from what I can tell its a repo car so having that in mind I am extremely nervous about what the car might have been put through prior to my purchase at 72k and putting 36k on it in a year. So now I am at 108k with a mystery tuned GT with an MT82 that is just waiting to grenade. Since this car is currently my daily and is 3 years from payoff with absoulutely no warranties might as well build a back up drivetrain.
Heres the plan.
Gen 3 block
Boss 302 crank
Wiesco Boostline or Manley H beams (probably the weiscos in prep for future FI)
I dont know what pistons yet (feel free to give input)
Gen 2 heads with MMR/Manley 32mm exhaust, 38mm intake SS valves and MMR springs.
Boss 302/Cobra Jet intake cams
Boss 302R exhaust cams
Not sure on the intake probably Boss 302 and eventually Cobra Jet.
47lb injectors for possible E85 down the road.
Eventually centrifugal supercharge with maybe 15 psi boost max.
back all that with a Calimer TR6060.
and thats about it. I'm going for basically a homegrown improved Boss 302 clone. I'm shooting for the ability to rev this motor out to 9k.
Any thoughts?
