Displacement
i am trying to plan out my mustang project.
I have an 88 gt hatch.
im gonna black out the interior and do a Red paint job with black 2 tone.
As far as the power plant i have some Questions.
I def. want to replace the engine. I want to make Big hp (500-600) and even bigger tq.
What size block should i use?
I want something that will be reliable and able to handle that power safely.
A turbo would be used in the application with water methanol injection and a small nitrous shot.
I want something that i can do myself with no crazy tools.
I was looking at the 427. Would this be too much displacement?
The 351w is a easy conversion but i dont think it could handle that power and have much left.
What are some #s for these blocks with the turbo and injection listed above.

RE: Displacement
you can find crate motors with 500 hp then throw in a little spray and there you go but with this power you will have to really focus a lot of time into incredible suspension (including k-member, subrame connectors, sway bars, lca/uca's, panhard bar etc.) you will also need really good brakes aand a new tranny that will stand up to the abuse and its still not going to be the easiest thing to drive and it will basically be useless in the weather
your gonna need some deep deep pockets i remember when i first got my 5.0 and i was thinking about crate engines and blowers and striped out interior until i relly looked at how much it would all cost to come together and now i havent even finished my hci swap
