newbie questions
Hello everyone, I have a quiet a few stupid little questions that I would appreciate being answered...I have to say this is the hardest forum I've ever used to search with so I apologize that I haven't found the answers myself. If anyone would mind babysitting me on a messenging client PM me, otherwise I will just ask some things here.
I hear a lot about S/C etc etc etc. But, in all honesty, how much can the stock block take? How much does it cost? What does KB, whipple, etc, etc stand for...I mean i have a lot to learn and askand would appreciate the help!

As stated above, KB, whipple, and so on are all blowers (superchargers). You will max out the stock internals before the block. Are you asking how much is the stock block?

RE: newbie questions
Just ask your questions here theres alot of experience out there to get all your answers from one person. Sometimes I get 3 or 4 different opinions on things from people but seeing the majority gives you an idea of what direction to head in. As for your SC questions are you jumping straight into a FI engine? Because if you are thats awesome haha more power to ya (no pun intended). Let us know how it goes and pictures are loved by all.

RE: newbie questions
There are roots style (Saleen, Roush) and centrifical (Vortex, Paxton) superchargers. The two you have listed are roots. If you google you'll get more information. Mustang magazines are also a great place to learn. The engine can take it. I'd be concerned with the stock drive shaft and transmission.

Stock block can handle somewhere near 700-800rwhp but the stock internals (rods, crankshaft, etc) will give out USUALLY between 450-500rwhp.

RE: newbie questions
thanks for all the replies guys I appreciate it greatly! As for a F/I project right off the bat probably won't happen. I guess what I want to know is how much does it cost to get forged internals AND get them installed? Who could do this for me? Is there anyone that has done a stroker kit for the 4.6 and also one last question thats a little off topic. Why does everyone call is the S197 when the 4.6 has 281 cubic inches? Just woundering,
Thanks again!
Thanks again!
