The blower will come but i think that will be after the stroker motor. with forged internals. For now im gonna keep the motor and put PI on it and keep the nitrous. I already have a tune for my nitrous. i can get it dyno'd when ever i please. I was just there 2 weeks ago. lol. thats when i got my new numbers. But i wont urn the juice until i get it tuned again.
Stone... i think i might even stick to stock PI cams.... still not sure yet. But I LOVE that lopey exhaust sound from a 4.6.
im still not sure about everything. lol. I gotta find some heads first. I found a pair on ebay but i didnt like the look of them. I think alot of this will be waiting. I dont think the pony will be done until early-mid summer. I hate waiting

Hey Casper, how many miles do you have on your car? I have been considering a pi swap, but I have so many miles on my car (114K) that I might just wait and swap in a new engine in the future...

RE: PI casper is on his way!
I got a mark VIII with the internals for 150 on ebay, the guy told me the engine seized up and he didnt take anytime to look at it. So i ripped everything out took the block to napa who honed out the cylinders for 50 then i picked up speed pro forged pistsons for 220 and pro power sold me forged rods for alil over 300. I left the 6bolt crank in there cuz there good up to 600 and even on the juice i shuldnt be near that. Napa charged me 350 to do a 3angle valve job all new vavle guides replace a few burnt valves and put new seals in. Then i bought a rebuild kit that came with the bearings, rings, gaskets...etc for 400. So figure 1200 give or take not including the high volume oil pump and the light weight flywheel, but itll all be worth it in the end.

Yup, as most of you know i have been battling a small nut about a size 5mm. lol. ****ty.. very ****ty indeed. Well i tried, Dum Dum, magnet ( found out real soon it was aluminum), wheel bearing grease, mechanics wire, vaccum cleaner. EVERYTHING i could possibly think of to save me the trouble of removing the head.
Well, today i accepted the loss to the nut.
I have never gotten my *** kicked as much as my car has dished out. So after my last attempt today i put away the shop vac nice and easy and proceeded to yell out loud.... It was like in a movie when a dude finds out his old ladie dies.... NOOOOOOO!!!!! Soon after my dad came outside to ask what the hell was the matter with me.. I smiled and said. "Dad, you better hope that turd you call a Cobra can keep up with project "Casper"
He shook his head and went back inside. As i evily laughed out loud. then i felt like a idiot and came back to reality.
So anyways... Im putting PI heads, cams, and intake on my pony. I have everything for the PI intake swap. Now i need PI heads, cams and head gaskets and bolts. I'll think of the rest of it.... If anyone has any ideas of how i can spend more money just let me know, im sure you will anyways..
First buy PI heads and cams... While im at it i wanna get headers, but stick to my UPR off road X-pipe ( so some kinda shorty) Then get some head job done to the heads... Dont know what kinda cams yet... I might just stick to the PI cams.
Also i wanna know if anyone had PI on a non Pi car, with the raised compression... How should that effect my nitrous??
Well... im sure plenty of people will reply back.... Thanks and wish me luck!! Im gonna take pics and do a write up on a forum.

RE: PI casper is on his way!
The block i have will bolt right up to the t-45 and im pretty sure almost any 4.6 will bolt up to a t-45. As for power im probably gettin a dyno in couple weeks but im thinkn its about 320 give or take?

Hey Casper! I still have those PI heads/cams if you want them. They are from a 2000 GT with 18k miles on them. Let me know....I can send you pics buddy
Ya know..I'm gonna die laughing if you go through all that trouble and find the nut NOT THERE but rather sucked up by the vaccuum or next to the intake/valve hole. Good luck with the 'new' project car
Pi pumped... sounds good. Now you need some FI for that girl.
