Small Block or Big Block?

Speedstang302 · April 15th, 2007, 03:16 PM

i am having so many reservations about throwing a big block in my 92LX..

i rlly want the horsepower and torque of a nasty big block
but i dont want the complications and how hard and expensive they are to work on!!! and how hard they are to get parts for..and if there not professionally built...then just playing around with it...there gunna break stuff..

i rlly kinda want a small block becuase i just love the sound of a healthy small block wynding up...you can get decent HP #' out of them too...but theres nothing like saying you have a big block in your foxbody..and opening the hood and seeing people shit them selves...

the pole is just a little eye opener to see wich would be best for my intentions of this car

I thought you said you just ordered aluminum Super Cobra Jet heads??? So why are you asking what you should build again?

Speedstang302 · April 15th, 2007, 08:52 PM

i did order them for my 460....i was just asking a question...on this post...and i may rebuild the 460 and sell it or...buy another mustang and put it in that for actual drag racing and keep this one for mild street car!!!its only thoughts...but nice to see i have someone following all my posts!!!!

eww no supercharger for that, it would be expensive, build a junkyard turbo setup for under $1000
