ok im 17 and going to start my first engine rebuild on my 86 GT... i plan on getting new heads, cam, rods and bearings, ( already have a cobra upper n lower intake to put on ( gotta use limited budget)... im going to say by this summer ill have about 1200$ to spend maybe a little more. so is there any advice what parts i should buy for my engine rebuild. i wanna make it pretty fast outta this deal

 

buy a few books
how to hot rod a sbf or mustang
engine rebuilding
these 2 will give you a start
the machine shop will do most but when you put it together the key is to check and recheck..mic the crank..used plastic gauge to insure clearance on rod and main bearing..

since you have the intake you can strat to port make them as so

you expect me to port them out?? how would i do that also i dunno how to use the plastic guage lol.. this sounds like a big task. should i even buy heads, cam, ?? or not i dunno. i need help on what i should buy and do with a 1200$ budget or so</P>

 

port the intake using a dremal tool..what you need to do is make a plan..1200 is alil short coarse buying some used parts and saving 1500 will be easier to work with
the plastic gauge is to use on the crank..Like I said earlier get ya a few books to hear..knowledge is king!

 

hmm hey vfast how about i take a trip to your house in the summer and you can help me rebuild it lol.. seems you can do this or hell ill pay you to come up here and do it i have no clue what to do

 

maybe it would be best to buy a short block or an engine already built?..hey too cold up there for me*L*
1 thought maybe you can take an automotive class<edited><editID>vfast</editID><editDate>38000.8152314815</editDate></edited>
