build list


Here is my build list so far. I'm planning on putting a motor from fordstrokers putting out around 500hp. Let me now what else I need to add. The car will be for the street with the ocasional drag.

Crate engine with approx 500hp
TKO600 tranny with short throw shifter
cervini 2.5" or 4" hood
bbk long tubes and x pipe
3.73 gears
gear install kit
moser 28 spline axles
subframe connectors
rear upper and lower control arms
tubular k member
rims and tires

I already have a flowmaster catback exhaust and upgraded my front brakes some. I'll probably just get new drums for the back and ss lines all around. Let me know what else I should be looking to get. Is the anything else I need to do for suspension or cooling?

An aluminum rad. What about injectors, throttle body, MAF etc? or are you carbing it?

I'm getting it carbed so all I should need is a pump. I forgot to add that to the list, I'm thinking a 190lph or 255lph. What about an ignition box? Is there a certain type I should get?

if it's going to be carbed then you need to run a new fuel system, the injected stuff isn't the best option ( yes you can regulate the stock stuff down but it's not the right way to do it )

What would a new fuel system include? I thought all I would need is a pump and regulator.

pump and regulator should do for fuel. and when buying the carb, dont go and get an 850 or anything. there are carb cfm calculators everywhere to check what size you should need. but probably nothing more than a 650. i suggest holley for the tunability.

and the aluminum radiator is a good one to add to the list as well as a good electric fan set up. taurus, escort, mark VIII, etc... but dont buy a flex a lite fan, they typically dont flow enough cfms. at least not the ones i have come accross.
