I'm new to this forum. Currently I don't own a Mustang but registered on here to try and figure out what years are best for modifying.

What I'm most interested in is COMPLETELY tearing apart an engine and building it from scratch. Bigger pistons, custom rods, ported heads, etc. I've done it on my BMW before but tuning BMWs is really expensive and I like 'tinkering' with cars. I think a Mustang fits my wants... :-/


Anyway, where would I post if I'm looking for information about building a complete engine? I know my way around engines, I'm asking where do I post to find what pistons to use, what manufacturers are good, etc.

Thanks,
Cody

really comes down to your budget. how much are you thinking your going to spend?

Most any yr 5.0L is budget friendly!

yeah it's all about coin

typically people stroke a 302 to 347 and can make about 400 hp on it
with a power adder you'll see 500

but another option if you have the cash is start with a 351 and stroke it to 408

you'll see big power there

and if you have really phat pockets just go big block, a 460 will fit in a foxbody with little work

with that being said i recommend a fox ('79-'93) and i prefer notchbacks myself..... a little lighter and a little tighter
