Tips for "Aluminator"
#11
Okay, well if you dont already have it you will need the 8.8 axle with that much power. Also why do you want to convert to a manual? Autos are the king of racing consistancy with power like that, if drag strip is your style. Personally i go sometimes to the drag strip but i like to drive on streets more so i went with a tremec 6060 6speed as i find it a lot more fun, just a thought depending on what your end goals are.

clutch/flywheel ~ avg $600
gt500 fuel pump~ $700
spark plugs and fuel injectors ~$440
1 piece driveshaft that can handle the power $500-700
tires to actually put the power to the ground ~ $425
Aftermarket heat exchanger ~ $425
Aftermarket lower control arms ~$200
Engine + Supercharger / Turbo + Transmission Swap ~ $ Just depends on what you go
This is just stuff off the top of my head and prices from what i can remember.

This is gonna be a huge project for me, loan agency here I come!
Also I'm going with a manual because its just fun and you actually drive the car and not sit a long for the ride. I really hate that I can't do that right now.

Im not sure what the cheapest you can find the Aluminator for but the cheapest i have heard of people getting it is $3999 im not sure if that special is still going on or not though. Even at that unless your just going to get the manual out of a gt its going to be hard to stay under 12 grand. $4000 engine + at minimum fuel pump/spark plugs/injectors ($1100) will leave you with about 7 grand to buy a supercharger and a transmission.
I very much agree with you about manuals, i get bored when i drive autos =\

Touche' I guess I'll have to look a little more pricey then.
I was looking around and only found some that go up to 440lbs./ft, which is bad seeing the miniumum I could have with the TVS2300 is 510lbs./ft.

Why supercharge it with a roush? That like putting lipstick.......... err I'd look into a f1 or turbo. Also the aluminator is a good block but as stated before the livernois or even MMR is better. Not to bust your ***** but frpp does a good job, but aftermarket will build it stronger. Also, if money isnt a problem then why joke about a loan? The DOHC motor is stout but the wiring harness required and ecu will give you fits. Whenever you drop a motor in a car that doesn't belong there you will spend more than someone that is going with a "spec' motor.

Yep, i have to agree with the others, the aluminator would not be my first choice.
And for 700hp i wouldn't even consider Roush.
If you want to take the Aluminator Drift car as an example, why not use the same Whipple Supercharger they use? The Ford Racing Whipple kit is one of the few kits from them i'd consider buying from FR.
Dont forget the other needed parts for building a 700hp beast, suspension,brakes, a rollcage perhaps lol
