Need help on engine rebuild!

[quickstang_1994]

you could try to find some exploder heads (gt40p) which are cheap, easy to come by but require headers

explorer heads i doubt ill find them here, kind of lost on what to get now, anyone know where i can buy the pistons and bearings i need. i think there arent 0.20 pistons only 4.030 and above. Any websites i can get all this stuff.&nbsp;<br><br>I was really looking foward to the stroker, wanted to be the first mustang in Bolivia with a stroker jeje. But if you guys say it will be a turd or not work properly i guess i should just repair the engine and get a h/c/i kit in the future. I think i can go with the intake and cam for now.

I have a set of F3ZE explorer heads that were just completely rebuilt. If you are interested, PM me.

I used a set of 90 fox pistons and rods, balanced the rotating assy. Ported Gt40p heads,ported gt40 upper and lower intakes, and a B cam...if I remember correctly on 14 psi that motor on a master power t76 pulled 527 at the wheels, lasted almost two years of really hard abuse.. I'll have to get ahold of my buddy to make sure that was all that was done to it..The most I have ever seen a stock block do personally was my buddy robs car on a t70 at 18 psi if I recall, I know it pulled 618 rwhp and 640 or so torque.. Lasted two seasons, but on 14 psi and made 535 then.. But that a full top end and tuned by adam,one of the best at cincy speed..this is the car btw..

This year.. At the auto show

Last year at the track..

Just goes to show you stock block can do ALOT.. But it has it's limits.. Good tuner and quality products and you'll be golden!!

I think the numbers are right for my application. I also want a get a performance cam but ive heard bad things of the letter cams on the forum, im going to go with the trick flow cams but which one is the best for me right now? stage 1? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/TFS-51403001/

 

[justi88]

To make the things more clear, maybe someone can help me out picking out the parts i need for the build. I will still be using the stock heads and cams for now but i do want a performance cam and need a piston and bearings kit, dont want a be a pain in the a$$ for you guys but if someone has the time or has done this before please spread your knowledge.

I would of gone with the stroker but everyone is right, the car will be a turd if i dont change my heads and intake. Ill go the other way.. do the rebuild and get a decent cam, then ill try to find some gt40 intake and head in my city.
