New 5.0 owner... minus the 5.0

101fng · November 24th, 2010, 05:52 PM

my gf got it for me for my B-day. its got everything except for a running motor. i'm deployed right now so i haven't personally gotten to see it, but she says she also picked up a couple blocks, a rotating assembly, cam, and heads (no info on those items though). i think i found myself a keeper.

so what's the deal, this is my first car under 3 years old. what am i lookin for when it comes to engines?

101fng · November 24th, 2010, 06:36 PM

so i seriously need some guidance here. the aftermarket is so completely overwhelming i don't even now where to start. she got me a couple bare 302 blocks, so i'm looking for heads and the choices are endless. any ideas?

Really he has no idea that we have already know about this project ?...Thats funny. i thought you were going to wait to give it to him when he got home. Make sure he doesnt change the front clip. keep it a 4 eye stand

thrasher! · November 26th, 2010, 09:26 PM

LOL ... ah not all girls are in to that sort of thing. i always tell him im not very good at being a token "girly girl" but i think he is fine with that .

93hatch · November 26th, 2010, 09:30 PM

just stick a junkyard 302 with a good h/c/i in it

JakeM · November 26th, 2010, 09:34 PM

I agree with Snatch. Best bang for buck. Then when you get bored build it.

93hatch · November 26th, 2010, 09:37 PM

building them is what makes them boring

thrasher! · November 26th, 2010, 09:38 PM

i have two 302 blocks .. i think building it will be fun. He seems pretty stoked on it as well.

JakeM · November 26th, 2010, 09:39 PM

I understand the risk taking with a stock block/rotating assembly. but there is something about having the piece of mind of a Ford Racing Boss 302, aluminum head and intake with some nasty cams and a F1C Procharger.

When you build a stock 302 the Block actually becomes the weak point. But thats not until after you are around 500RWHP +.

thrasher! · November 26th, 2010, 10:15 PM

i guess we will have to really look into all the options. I just want him to do whatever he wants to the car. like his ideal dream car that is his choice down to every single drop of paint put on the car.

I couldn't be gone in the armed forces. I would miss everything too much. It must suck if you feel like driving the stang but can't.

ya ... he will be home in three weeks !!! but only for two weeks leave. idk about him but i know i miss the shit outta him all the time. he handles it really well though

101fng · November 27th, 2010, 07:47 AM

shit... i miss you megan.

so i think i can deal with a stock 302 block. i don't plan on 500hp or anything crazy like that. just a sweet lookin whip that pulls real nice. i think a nice h/c/i combo is all i need.

thrasher! · November 27th, 2010, 08:00 AM

miss you too ... i think we should make it 1500 horses
