4 lug or does it have a 5lug swap?

If ur lookin for a cheap good motor to build around....well Im guessin you dont know too much about motors or cars in general? But Id build a engine its cheap and u get what u want. Find a good shop and order the parts. Id do a build around a Ford racing boss block. Depends what u plan on doing to it though. Find out what ur HP and Torque goals are then pick ur size, 331, 347, 363, 351, 427...etc. and make sure u take in account if ur going all motor or adding a power adder, Supercharger, Turbo, Twin Turbo, Nitrous, Water-Meth injection...Or U could save up and do a Coyote swap
Either way make sure U do it right the first time so U aint gotta waste money buying stuff over and over.

Cool deal keep us posted on the process. My dad bought me my first 5.0 when I was 13, and I worked and saved and bought my own car at 15. 1990 GT with 56k miles. Oh to be young again.

i built a 2.9 engine for my ford ranger, pulled it cleaned it honed it, new pistons rods and had the valvs ported , rebuilt injectors, fresh plugs wires the whole 9 yards and fuel pump, i already have a bored 302 for the car, e303 cam, gt40p heads bbk upper and lower intakes 30lb injectors, bought it from my neighbor who put a 351 in his car and sold me the motor cheap
sorry should have ben more clear on what i know how to do and dont know what to do

[duvaltom]

it is still 4 lug, i bought a cheap set of ten hole rims from a guy in town with tires for 100 bucks just to roll the car around on

Cool. I'm a year younger than you and looking to get my first car/fox as well. Good luck with your build.
