please use a smaller font or no bold or whatever the hell you did, because its annoying to read something 3x larger than everyone elses posts.

 

I was using a small font, altleast i thought, i could barely read it when i was typing it up so i made it bigger. And it wasn't that big on my screen when i posted it. I don't want to supercharge it, i want someone to open my hood and see nothing but a 3.8 block and then i want to smoke them in the quarter mile or atleast keep up with them. And For about $2k i can do a 4.2 stroker, put in a shift kit, and a stall converter.

 

You can do an N/A well built 4.2L for $2000. I did it in Texas awhile back. Looked 100% stock, put down 247 hp / 256 tqto the wheels.

 

The 3.8 mustang block is the same as the ford 4.2, right? So can i use a gasket set from for a 4.2 ford truck will work for my mustang right? Or will some work and some not work? Thanks

 

Those are some pretty impresive numbers for N/A, at a low price too. I wonder what they would be like with F/I?[&:]

 

Yes the gaskets should be the same. You asked me a Q on ebay about the crank bearings, It doesnt come with them but summit had some on sale last i knew. Clevettes... All you will need is a new oil pan on your engine. Sleeper is the best way to go

 

Quick math will give you that answer. My blower set up makes 16-17 hp per psi. 20 psi on small pulley.....

 

Are those hp and tq numbers with or without a H/C/I kit?

 

Okay, I've been reading some of these stroker threads... Is all you need to do this the crankshaft? Every time I bring this up to my dad (who's a mechanic) he's always talking about how you have to do a whole bunch of other stuff, but I'm not sure if he's talking about supporting mods or just what's required for this. Is there a writeup anyone's done on this I can read through? Links please?
