Default Internals

Hey everyone i was just wondering how much a full forged internal setup would go for and what does that consist of. Maybe you could also chime in about how much labor would cost to install everything too/

it would consist of crank, rods, piston, piston rings, some gaskets, and i think that's it. it would involve rebuilding the whole motor, maybe boring out the cylinders .020 to refinish the walls, and i think thats it. labor would be...........expensive. i think about 4K all said and done. check out Sean Hyland Motorsports, they have the best kits i think.

Check out modular mustang racing. Got my setup for $3500 block included. All you have to pay for then is pulling the motor and swapping heads/accesories. Capable of 950rwhp. great setup

I got the Eagle Stroker Kit. didnt do the .20 bore so its just under a 302. The Arias pistons sound like a little diesel on start up though but it goes away pretty fast

Those MMR kits look pretty complete, and well done for the price. Have to keep that in mind.
