Ok guys, it's time to take "No Hands" to the next level...

I've been having fun with the idea of keeping it a DD... and it still will be but I want more... so much more...

So far I have plans on rebuilding a 2.3 N/A block this winter with stock forged pistons, stock N/A cylinder head (with a large slider cam, and heart shape removed) un-ported, port matched lower to the cylinder head, knife edged lower, gutted upper, 60-65mm TB, #35 injectors (might have to run #46er's) 255LPH fuel pump, 2.5" exhaust, .48/.60 T3 turbo, 1st gen bobs log, and either a custom FMIC or a modded TC intercooler.

I'm trying for a "Project bolt on" CHEAP edition.

I'm shooting for 250-300 RWHP and 13's in the 1/4.

What do you guys think of the idea? I'm going to keep the 2.3T block and build it to hold 600+hp as money allows (I've got around $1500 saved to do all this work, all I have to buy is the block, machine work, pistons, fuel pump, and TB.)

 

why dont you just stick with what you have? do your tranny swap and keep going with the project..

 

I did the trany swap. Works great, but I want more power

 

do it!!!

 

Do all the machine work to your engine, then get her painted! Or suspension work.

 

Hey,

Nice work so far on the Stang. Why dont you think about painting her soon and taking care of that rust you said you had under the car? Thats what id do next, but, i guess it doesnt have to look pretty to go fast

 

3" exhaust out of turbo and all the way back. MAF conversion or megasquit From what I read 250 300 hp about max's out a Vam. If I had it to do over would take a TC intercooler modify it to water cooled and big radiator for it in front. Makes sense, I looked a Huber car no BPV or bybass valve no need not that much air trapped in intercooler lines. May need to heat wrap it or install it to one side of a Ranger radiator. Just a thought.

 

Just have the back half left to do

I can get ahold of 3 2.3 blocks for $200 right now, but because my MX6 is down I don't have the $$$ to get the engines right at this moment (well I do, but I don't have enough to bribe my parents lmao)
