forged internals

01silversnake · September 20th, 2007, 02:21 AM

ok so i did the search thing and it didnt return what i wanted. So, right now i just got exhaust and now am looking to forge my motor so it will withstand just about anything that i throw at it. Can you guys please tell me all of the parts that i need to buy to have "all forged internals"?

energiesource · September 20th, 2007, 02:40 AM

Well 'all' would be, block, pistons, heads, valves, camshafts, crankshafts, someone let me know if im forgetting something

SWEET2KSTANG · September 20th, 2007, 03:04 AM

do a forged crank, h-beam pistons, and forged pistons and call it a day. that will handle most anything you throw at it. the better the part, the more it will handle.

00GT · September 20th, 2007, 03:24 AM

crank rods pistons

GTsetGO · September 20th, 2007, 08:15 AM

rods??? do our cars even have rods?

dshep · September 20th, 2007, 08:18 AM

he means connecting rods not push rods

GTsetGO · September 20th, 2007, 08:20 AM

ahhh, okay. had me confused there for a second

WVSNS& · September 20th, 2007, 09:46 AM

Isn't the crank forged on the 01? Meaning all that he would need is pistons and rods. I have found some interesting deals on pistons and rods of the forged type.

i dont believe so... you're probably thinking of the 99 and 01 cobras. No GT comes stock with forged internals

WVSNS& · September 20th, 2007, 10:22 AM

Isn't this his car? Thought he had a cobra.

Yeah he has a 01 Cobra.

nikbait · September 20th, 2007, 05:11 PM

What about for a mach 1? What parts are needed to buy?

oops overlooked it lol... yeah, even though its forged, you can always go with a better aftermarket forged product... if i'm not mistaken, a forged 99&01 cobra can handle up to 625RWHP with all the stock forged engine parts.

Only the 03-04 mach 1s with a 5spd have a forged crank. And the temmies have forged bottom ends.

The GT's don't have any forged parts, and the 96-01 cobra's don't have anyfoged parts either. (to the best of my knowledge)

nikbait · September 20th, 2007, 05:56 PM

I just called a local performance shop and they said to do forged internals on a mach 1 would cost me $10k in parts/labor, dang that's expensive.

Thats almost all labor. You can buy a forged short block in the ball park of 3,000. If you just buy the parts and use your own block its even less.

Labor is a killer when it comes to engine work. If you have another car you can use while yours is being upgraded I would suggest buying a book and doing it yourself. You'll save thousands.

nikbait · September 20th, 2007, 06:16 PM

Doing that kinda work on my own? How long would that take, weeks? Yikes, I can't even imagine that prospect.
Do most shops that you guys know of take parts that you've bought and install them for you? I know that alot of places here won't do that...I'd rather use the block that came with the car, but if it doesn't really make a difference...then i could just buy the already forged block and have that installed right?

shamntgmry · September 20th, 2007, 08:13 PM

damn 10k!!!! you could buy a short block with forged internals already in it for half that and be doing way better from the get go.
of
buy a new block and rotating assembly and put it together your self and be doing better than 10k that guy is trying to retire off of you!

nikbait · September 20th, 2007, 08:27 PM

Ya I know. I called DSS racing and they'd take the block from the car, and redo it for $4.

raceruler03 · September 20th, 2007, 08:48 PM

so a forged block would be a nickel block right? Just making it a little stronger than a regular block?
