"Built Motor" what is it exactly?
So I've always thought that a built motor consisted of forged rods, rings, block, and pistons. But now I'm not to sure. I just joined, don't have a mustang yet, but will be buying one in a year as my graduation gift. I plan on getting a lease return 2012 gt or a used 2012 gt. The ultimate plan is to mod mod mod. I want to achieve ~800hp at the wheels. Here is how I'm going to do it. I won't be running as much boost as they are obviously. It won't be a track car so I figured a 3.55 instead of the 3.73 ratio would be best. So what am I looking at on the motor to handle all the boost that'll be thrown it's way..ie, the "built motor" ?

it's not a track car and u wanna put 800hp on the wheel?that's too much for a street car.

3.55 cause with ~800hp I won't need aggressive gearing since this isn't going to be a drag car. |

No no, buy a used car something like a lease return.

I got screwed, had I had the balls to ask for a new car when I graduated from H.S. I probably would have heard something like this,"you want a new car, GET A JOB''

This is a built engine:
http://www.fordracingpartsdirect.com...6007-a50sc.htm It does not have the cams or head port work as the TKB engine, but you get hbeam true forged conrods and lower cr forged pistons. I think they are dished too. If so, you run less risk of hitting the valves with higher lift cams. The lower geometric (static) cr also allows for much higher boosts |

Going with shallower gears gives better gas mileage , better top speed, and it tames wheel slip for non-slick tires. But onederful has a point. Killing HP at the wheels with shallower gears is counterproductive. Unless his goal is to have a top speed machine in which he needs the power to fight wind resistance. |
