70% of My Goal
-
I've been saving cash since October to swap a 427cid stroker into my 2012 Mustang (for you euro guys, that's a RCH (WIKI[^] under seven liters). As of this weekend, I've achieved a little more than 70% of my parts cost goal ($18k), which includes a Dart 4-bolt main block, AFR 205 aluminum heads, zero-balanced forged crank/rods/pistons, TrickFlow Stage 3 cam, Edelbrock RPM Air Gap dual-plane intake manifold, QuickFuel BDQ850 mechanical secondary carb, MSD ignition, and a Tremec T56 6-speed manual trans. It's gonna sound something like this when I'm done: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dILMgirAox4[^] The motor is gonna look something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fts0Z1jaw5s[^] And it's gonna run something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjrDhMxdaAs[^] The car in the linked videos current runs 9:30 in the 1/4 mile with nitrous, but my car probably won't be quite as fast because I'm building my car to go fast in the turns for longer than 9 seconds (and I won't be running nitrous). :) If you're not a car guy, you can safely go on about your business. I'm just trying to man-up the Lounge a little.

When you pry the gun from my cold dead hands, be careful - the barrel will be very hot. - JSOP, 2013Awesome you'll have more horses than the Cottontail Ranch in Las Vegas! :) Nice ride!

Wait a sec....If I recall, and am too lazy to look up, you started with a sensible V6 (Ford-3.0L?) and now you want to move up to a 427 (6.0L )? That must need to replace the entire drive train?:confused: Ken
Actually, the numbers are 3.7 V6 to a 7-liter V8. Yes, everything except the radiator and rear end has to be changed.

I don't know why you bought a new car. Should have bought used as you have replace most of the working parts. :-D
Because I don't have to do the body work an old Mustang usually requires.
