For starters, the engine isn't going to be meant for 500+Hp
It probly wont even make 400, but we expect somewhere in the 300's N/A
The Tranny will be taken out and changed to a C4 probly, depending on what we come across.
Hopefully the car does great >:D

Parts list:
So we got the 5.0 Block from a burnt mustang that was in good shape.
we had it vatted and bored 30 over,
new cam bearings
and freeze plugs
SRP Pistons *Flat top*
347 Eagle crank.
E303 Cam
Roller rockers
And much more but i don't feel like walking down stairs and writing everything else down.


But when i got home we worked on the bottum end, and are working on the pistons etc. Getting the bottum end ready.
Yes the engine was balanced etc.
O yea if you notice something wrong, please do say so. This is our Father/Son project and are new to building a engine.

And now time for pics O0
Hope you guys like the engine
