hey i have a 2003 fuel injected (probably turning to carborated) krate 351w and is based off of the 1992 truck motor, im planning on putting the motor in my 1995 mustang Gt (that has no motor) the 351 only has about 210hp and i wanted to have about 350 horses in her, so if i replaced somethings to have that power would i have to buy new pistons? will they hold up?

 

heads/ bigger cam. the heads will give you more compression adding more hp along with the camshaft.

 

yeah thats kinda wat i was planning to do but these pistons r made for a truck that does hit very high rpm let alone have 350 ponys behind it

 

The pistons aren't going to be much different. I wouldn't change 'em unless you upgraded to forged for future nitrous use.

 

**** i ment to say that doesn't hit very high rpm lol

 

Pistons aren't going to greatly affect your rpm. I would assume mid-pack pistons were used, which are a little heavier, but you won't notice the difference.

 

good luck shane......make sure i get to come to the Track with ya when you get your car all ready to drive. Can i come over and see the car soon?

later

 

do u think that hooker headers, some sick exhaust, GT-40heads, and a good cam wil get me 350hp? or more?
