ok am thinking about buying a short block, 96-04 Mustang Boss 5.0L Engine Block, Cast Iron, how much hp can this block hold???and also when do i need to start using the arp studs like the hp range that regular head bolts would fail. was also gonna get the 600hp street fighter kit from chp and i was wondering how much hp it would take to put like 500 hp to the ground and how much would that be to the crank?? any answers would be appreciated. was gonna do this and put the on3 performance turbo kit on it and will the kit i want fit in the block i want? what would i have to do?

if i were you, i would just buy a shortblock from www.modularmustangracing.com http:// contact them and tell them what you want and they will build it.

and as for the question
"i was wondering how much hp it would take to put like 500 hp to the ground and how much would that be to the crank??"

it will take 500hp to make 500hp.

500 crank horsepower would make around 425 or so horsepower to the wheels.. someone correct me if i'm wrong

but by the way you've asked these questions i kind of get the feeling that you need to do A LOT more research on different set-ups, tech info, and general overall knowledge of building a car.

ok well thats what i meant on the crank to wheel. And was just going to get a stock short block but i saw on the lmr web sight that there was a 5.0 2v block so i was just asking. this is why i posted just a couple of questions thats all. But thanks 4 the input

whats your budget looking like?

Tylerdude17 · May 13, 2010

well im going to spend about 1000-1500 on my heads im sending them to modularheadshop and then im looking at spending about 500-1000 on the block and buy the rotoating assy for about 1200 so all in all about 3000 or so. but thats including heads with out the heads about 1700 or so was wanting to build the block myself but i can alwase change my mind

thats what he said he was going to do in the post above yours.

anyhow. the link you posted is for a rotating assembly, i didnt look at which one, but its not a block.

i would look at MMR shortblocks and Nick's (modularheadshop) headwork and cams.

what is your goal, i'm assuming your are N/A, do you plan on keeping it that way or you going F/I... you will never see the need for a forged bottom end with a N/A mod motor in my opinion.

^ ah for some reason i thought it said MMR.. oh well it was a late night last night heh..

ok srry i had to split up the 2 links i have the lmr link is for the block i saw and thought would be good for my motor and i was going to do the on3 performance turbo kit so thats why i was going forged. the rotating assy is good up 2 600hp and i want to put as much to the ground without going over that limit of 600 hp to the crank.
