Hi guys, I am from Russia.
I've got some issue with choosing an engine for corvette. My requirements for an engine:
V8, 4.5+L,cast iron block, low compression ratio, DOHC, 4-valves.
stock corvette engine is not suitable, because it has aluminum block, big compression ratio, single camshaft. I am going to install 2 turbochargers and spool it up to 1.5-2 bars.
I searched inet, and found some interesting engines that were installed in Ford's cars, only 2 of them has cast iron block, they are:
1. V8 4.6L DOHC(4 camshafts) 32-valves, cast iron block, 9.6 -compression ration +supercharger
this engine was installed only in:
2003–2004 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra
2. V8 5.4L DOHC(4 camshafts) 32-valves, cast iron block, 9.6 -compression ration +supercharger
this engine was installed only in:
2007-2010 Ford Shelby GT500
So I am going to replace supercharger with aluminum intake manifold and mount/install 2 turbochargers ~ garrett gt30r.
My questions:
1. what is the difference between this 2 engines except displacement? and which one is better for forcing up to 1000+hp?
2. are there other engines with my requirements installed in ford cars?
3. How much power stock pistons,rods,crankshaft handle on that engines?
4. are there aftermarket companies that produce tuning parts for that engines(pistons,rods,crankshaft,camshafts,valves,r etainers,springs)?
5. do you have experience with installing turbochargers on that engines, if so, please share that(links,pics)
6. what is the name of that engines?
your feedback is much appreciated!
ps. sorry for my english (
