Take a look at that and tell me if u think your budget is oing to conpete with that, i hate to give u a reality check but these cars all hae upwards of 700hp and chadis, suspensions, trans, tires built to the hilt. You cant even
Build a barebones 400hp build on your budget which wouldnt even compete anyway..... I understand your 17, but if u think r going to make moey buy street racing a car with a 1-2k budget motor
Build you are living in a fantasy world.

yes i know 5.0s arent really good motors but the top where the block frags is like 500 id like to run a 351 bc its they same thing but a bit heavier but no one knows how to or doesnt want to itd be cool to be the only 351 mustang in michigan im not here to listen to you guys talk **** and say you should turbo or supercharges a 4.6 or a v6 like everyone else does id be nice to stand out so ..... anyone want to give any info

joshb

im sry but where the hek is this hahaha people in mich dont have money like that cars people drag out here are between 300- 500 hp with no one hooking up these are peoples street cars not trailerd "street cars" and it is possible to build a 302 to 400ish hp for around 1100 plus a little shot ill be up there where everyone is

You need , conplete turn key motor, gauges, transmission, k member, fuel system for carb, driveshaft, possibly a radiator, a 8.8 rear or better as the v6 7.5 is far from ideal. It will infact cheaper to sell your car and buy one that came with a 302 and swap it to carb. Saying know obe knows how to drop a 302 or a windsor in a chasis that at one point came with one is kinda laughable, theres plenty of people in your area that have it , done it, and no how to so it, you just have to look outside the highschool parking lot ( no offense intended).

i dont get y this guys throw all the money in the motor and everything to back it up but still dont hook if i had the money id just back half a car instead of doin a 360 in the middle of the road

Once again clearly u dont understand how high power cars work, and theres no nice way to pt this but if u think with 1100 dollars your going to build a 400rwhp 302 your on crack. The heads and cam alone will cost more than that.

joshb

haha i dont go to school anymore and would the reason im goin with this is because a 4.6 swap would cost alot and to build it up would cost more

uberstang1

To make 400rwhp na with a 302 you have two routes, go with a 347 stroker with a decet cam and some headwork (this routw will cost more than 1100, u need a machine block, rotating assembly , cam, proper valvetrain componets etc etc. the other route keep the stock displacement of 302 would requre HIGH compression setup which means once again your diggin into the rotating assembly for high compression pistons, an this setup wpuld also need a significant cam and aftermarket heads. Sprry its just not happening on 1100$

I would love to see a break down of parts and cost with this $1100 302 build

joshb

how much would a 4.6 swap cost basically the same thing or more
