Any one have experience with hoppin up V8's.

I am about to do a mild build with a 351 Windsor and need help picking springs, valves, lifters, cam, rockers, pushrods and everything that will work with each other. If someone could PM me so we could talk and you can help.

I had a v8 bored and blown, but I don't know as much as I should know.

sorry :l

Im not boring it. Stock stroke and stock bore, i just wanna up the compression with a nice cam and a little headwork. a 351 in a 1993 mustang backed with a C6 will be decent anyway. This will be a daily driver.

Someone here has to know about all this shit.

What year is the mustang? What's your budget? Are you using the stock heads? Is it a roller block? Are you planning on running a stall converter? Carbed or FI? Are up planning on running a cowl hood?

Since your upping the compression I'm guessing your not using any power adders?

Its a 1993 mustang

Motor is a flat tappet 1989 F-150 351 Windsor

Budget is as cheap as possible while retaining quality ( I would love to stay under 1K in parts for the motor, the cheaper the better )

I will use stock heads with new springs, valves and all

I dont know if i need a stall converter, this will be a street car

I will convert the motor to Carb because i hate FI.

I will do a Cowl hood at some point.

And no power adders. I was thinking turbo but dont want to have that much more money added.

The guys on FordOnline.com know a lot about making the 351 do 462rwhp under $3500.

Which is pretty cheap. I was going to do up my 302 but it was going to be around $4-5k to get a little over 400hp.

I'll see if I can find the thread.

I use to have a 351W bored to a 427 small block //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif as far as compression on a daily driver, I wouldn't recommend over 10:1.. throw a mild cam in it some 2.75" headers and call it a day

when I read the thread title I thought you were looking for good alcohol to add to a v8 drink. legit.

It wont be a daily driver, it will be more like a weekend hot rod. Mild, cheap and still will get down and dirty.

well then i'd go with a street cam, 11.5:1 compression pistons, roller rockers, new crank, EFI conversion, and a sick EFI tune.

 

[statonburrell 10+ year member]

get a little port job done on your heads as well, and if you plan on keeping it carbed go with like a 750-800 CFM Holley.... I would never mess with another edelbrock they are a PITA IMO

Its already EFI and im getting rid of that bullshit. Its a flat tappet motor not a roller. Ill proly get the stock crank worked on.
