Your a little low.

I talked to Livernois on this when asking about thier forged short blocks for the S197and I asked them if they built any NA 4.6's .They did a few builds ups hesaid on a stroked S197 3V 4.6 NA to I think it was 302CI (or 298) running 10.5:1 compressionif I remember corectly theywere getting 370-380rwhpon the dyno. I alsothink thiswas with their heads and and a set of cams.

Doable, but pricey for the hp gained.

They also did full bolt ons with that, valves, cams, intake,exhaust and tuning. Still NA though.

I found this yesterday when I was poking around on iTunes. I bought and downloaded two of the horsepower episodes that go over the mustang stroker (episodes 5 and 6) but there seems to be a third episode that finishes it off yet I don't know which one that is. In episode 6 (which is part two of the mustang stroker video) they say it will take a few weeks to get it tuned and ready for the dyno again.

After watching these videos, it made me really want to do the same things to mine, but it looked like it would be too expensive and time consuming. Since my car is a DD and my only car, I can't have it down for very long.

I really recommend everyone here to download these episodes (and help me find the third and final one ) as they're pretty neat. You don't have to get them off iTunes either. I only did b/c I wanted them on my ipod touch. Amazon also offers these videos for purchase/download.

The car they're using must be brand spanking new or something b/c it was perfectly clean underneeth. Mine is soooo dirty under. But I live down a dirt road so that doesnt help. [:'(][:'(][:'(]

I really thing they broke it. I have looked for the last episode for about 6 months and have never found it.I don't believie they evermentioned it again in any episode. There was a thread about his last year when the show originally aired.... There is also a intresting episode where they put on some nos and a stang...

Muscle car also had a intresting episode where they built a mustang for speed network and some awards show...

I remember those episodes. I don't think they ever did the last show on it. Last i remember they said they had to do a little r&amp;d and then they would do the final show on it. I watched every show for about 4 weeks after and never got to see the numbers.

Yep, a "little r&amp;d". I also think they grenaded the engine.
