Will Do HotRods! </P>


And everything I do I will record and tell everyone else how to do it because frankly, our Sixes are baddass engines just waiting to breath and rip loose on the pavement!</P>


I started a car club called "Nor Cal 232's" for all us V6 stangs, even if its overbored and stroked you can still join as long as its a V6. I have a few graphics made up for it, but Im seeking permission from www.autobadges.com because I used their base 232 with my graphic, course I will just make some of my own too.</P>


I have had alot of V8 guys tell me that 400hp is impossible from a V6 and that a V6 cant take 30psi of boost and heavy modding and all that bulls**t, but thats because they are stuck in their thing, I have the best of both worlds, V8's and V6's. And thanks to V8's I know that an Engine needs to BREATH to make power, thats one of the most simple facts. My El Camino had a puddly little 2" single exhaust on it and it had hella torque but no top end, and for a 350 thats unheard of. So I upgraded the exhaust to Single 3" (for smog reasons) and I picked up about 40hp easy just from that, poor thing just needed to breath. With my Chevelle I had some full length headers with 2" tubes running into dual 3" exhaust and that was one mean freakin engine till I had to take it apart. At that point I freed up the oil passages and opened things up a little bit with my air dremel, that 1965 Corvette 396/425 is worth about $2000 right now as it sits, and not just because of the corvette heritage, and its just a bare block. Lots of people have wanted it from me but thats MINE <IMG src=smileys/smiley16.gif border="0"></P>


Because of the build up of my Dart Big M 427 twin Turbo I tought myself about bores and strokes and block clearances, journal sizes and bearing thicknesses and whatnot, I also learned to use quality parts even if only a 350hp 383 stroker. No matter the application I will always go with forged 4340 steel H beam rods, Billet Crank and ARP-L19 bolts to hold it together just to name a few things. I also dont use parts that have welded or screwed on parts, like those cheesy pushrods with the welded on ball for the tip, NEVER those break off and screw your engine majory, only go with SOLID parts.</P>


Its amazing how much I know, but just because I ask a few n00b questions every once in a while I get judged as a n00b that doesnt know his *** from a hole in the block ya know? LOL But odly enough I made a pretty good friend (least I would like to think so) from that out of NO2Junkie. We both got off on a crappy foot and he thought I was a dumb n00b and I thought he was some domestic ricer, but as posts went on I saw that he knows alot and he saw the same with me, heh.</P>


Anyways, I will continue my goal of making one baddass V6 Mustang (even if its bored and stroked toa 293ci <IMG src=smileys/smiley14.gif border="0"></P>
