the internals in these 5.0 engines are stronger than the blocks, i say throw the blower on, make some boost and call it a day

Yup. That's what I would do. You could run 450hp and not have to worry about a thing. Maybe more since it has such low miles

i aint takin no chances. plus i've already had a car that made almost 450hp at the wheels and you guys know how that goes. I WANT MORE. haha. but if i do anything to it ill probably stroke it. i know the 331's and 347's can make some nice power, plus having the stronger internals on top of the extra cubes will just make me feel better about it.

but that wont make the block any stronger, it just a matter of making (just a number) 450 n/a or 450 boosted

either way, at around 450-500 you're pushing the limits of the block.

flyin ryan · August 20th, 2009, 04:24 PM

stock internals are stronger then the stock block....... so if your going to be pumping 450ish or more she'll be a ticking time bomb
better hope your tune is top notch in that then too or it'll be even more short lived then you think

Yes, Yes I am!

My doors don't close right anymore, It rattles like a dang freight train going down the road, and that's IF you can hear it over the dumps, and my damn torque boxes looked like an aborted oragami project and I haven't even ran Slicks yet!!!

The only thing I miss between my SN95 and my Fox was the leg room.

Mine doesn't rattle. The whole car shakes though because I need an alignment/tires lol

I've finally narrowed mine down to a rattle in the hatch area. Hell it might even be the spare rattling around for all I know. But seeing as I've only put 2000 miles on the new combo over the last year and a half, I'm not too worried about it. Hell right now I'm switching the front suspension over to the Sn-95 setup and upgrading the stock World Class to a T-5Z and I'm not even looking at the rattle so I can't be too worried about it!
