ya do not listen to the people to tell you about swapping in engines. just swap in a stroker and your car will be QUICK!!!!!

[stangcharger]

plus if the route is going to be turbo the 4.2L forged motor will be able to handle 600+rwhp easily and the 5.0L will try and crack on ya at 500rwhp. With a built stroker motor and turbo 500rwhp will be easy as pie. Then it will just be getting the tranny and rear end to handle it.

no its an auto

ya if i can afford the motor by the summer i will drop it in and see how long the trans and the rear end hold up. do you know how much hp and torque the auto trans can handle by any chance? Because rear end and new built auto will be my next mods after the motor is put in

thanks everyone thinks bigger is better, and dont get me wrong i love v8 mustang, but this stroker motor looks like a real good buy, i was looking into buying one from supersixmotorsports and it said a stroker can be built to have around 350-390 hp n/a depending on what you want. for around 7-8k i thinks thats a great deal just hoping the tranny holds.

Ya my first priority after getting this motor put in is to save up for a tranny and a new rear end, then go after a turbo unfortunatly everything takes time and money so motor first lol

thanks everyone for some really good feed back. I would want to get a twin turbo to run lower boost and get maximum hp but i have heard you need custom made ac lines and other modification.

Honestly there really is no need for twins for what most want to do. The single is going to kick in faster than a centrifical and make more lower and high end power. Plus you will be able to make your goals with one i promise.

^Agreed. You will see if looking around that most people use singles and get high numbers. I am in no way suggesting following the crowd just for the sake of fitting in, but there's a rhyme and reason to it in regards to turbos on these, and actually most, cars. People tend to automatically think more is better, but this isn't the case.

also, you auto should easily hold the power that your stroker is making. that is if you keep it cool. your rearend is another story.

rear end will be a matter of luck and the auto in good shape with J-mod and whatever cooling yall do will hold 400rwhp or under for a good amount of time. J had more than that on his for awhile. then when it goes just beef it up and make almost whatever you want.

I have had some luck. I am still on my 7.5 rear.

isnt it cheaper to build your own ?

ya i wanted a single but i didnt know that a single actually spooled up faster than a twin, i thought the twin were smaller than a single so they would spool up faster? If thats the case then i will def go with a single setup, cause there a lot cheaper than a twin.

Twins will have less lag...but with the right single you will be just fine.
