Let's pretend I traded my 4v for a pushrod Cobra. I throw on AFR 185 heads, a Holley Systemax Plentum, an F-cam, cold air, and full exhaust. What kind of RWHP am I looking at?

pretty close to the 300 +/-
if i were you id get a blower, injectors,fuel pump and a tune youd be close to the 330.

blower might be cheaper then the HCI, As a matter of fact,there is a blower on the classifieds for sale for a hair over 2k with everything to install

I'll check it out!

I've always thought about trading for one because I think I could get some cash with it towards my car. Then my plan would be to forge everything and put a KB on top. I'm not near as enthusiastic as pulling and building a 4v for that purpose lol. But I guess I'd be at the same power level when I'm done, except the Teksid will take a little more abuse, like a 200 shot :angel4: Of course if I traded I could go to a 347 and be pushing 400 before FI. There's too many options!

I'm just gonna buy an LS1.

Lol if I wasn't so partial to Ford I probably would. I am envious of that motor. Even the LT1 you can make over 400hp N/A with the right H/C/I. But now we have the NEW 5.0 which decimates all. When they're 10 years old, $10k, with magazines full of bolt-ons, it'll be hard for anyone to buy an LS1 instead.

Dude, if you're going to be swapping, might as well go for a GT. You'll be able to get more money with the trade and if you're building the motor anyways, there won't bemuch more difference between the two.

Lets pretend you just bought a 6'r, badged it Cobra and dropped in a carbed 351. 400rw or more 15mpg moderate compression and an engine it only takes a weekend to fix if anything breaks.
