ok well i have a direction i want to go with me engine build but i need help putting the parts list together. I have thought about it and i want to be able to say "look what u can do with the 3.8" so i am not wanting to do any boring or stroker kits. I need a setup that will hold 15-25psi and up with a twin turbo kit. I have the windstar manifold on the current engine but the new one will have the f150 mani. I really would like to see this done in a year or so as the money comes for it.

 

so no1 knows anything about building an engine?

 

no rush with the help but i would like to start the parts list. I would like to get all available forged parts and a nice mean cam but will need to get more of an idea of the entire build.

 

dude get a powerpak from supersixmotorsports! im saving for the stage 2. it should be wayyyyyy worth it.

 

Man i just looked at that kit. For 85HP thats well worth it. Especially if you do a simple power adder such as a M90 you will make an easy 330-350 hp range

 

well i would have to get stage 3 and i will not need the ported upper. plus this is only the upper engine i will also need everything else. this is all going on a 3.8L block on an engine stand so im building it from the ground up.

 

Stage 3 even better. I dont believe they sell the parts seperate though. Only chance of getting that is Ebay or something.

 

Here's what I'd do:

From SSM
3.8L Forged Internal Kit from - $1625
Windage Tray - $125
Billit Harmonic Balancer - $425
Stage 3 Powerpack - $2700

From Spec
Spec Aluminum Flywhell - $399
Spec Stage 3+ Clutch - $529

From gforcetransmissions
T-56 GForce Built Transmission - Call for price (don't know about belhousing though)

8.8" Rear w/Detroit limited slip differential and 3.55 gear ratio = approx $1500-1800

Whatever type of turbo set you're looking to run = approx $7500

In short, I hope you stumble upon a lot of money because you still need to upgrade the entire fuel system, ignition system, and your own personal tuning software (a tuner won't cut it here).

 

thanks thats what i was looking for.. i will be able to cut cost on some of those but thats around the prices i am willing to spend. Like i said this will be through a year or so and the turbo kit not that much i am parting the kit together myself using and deals i come across. The tuning software i most likely will get from diablo sport but i am the vp of inline performance inc. and we will be opening a "shop" online to start and may carry our own line off tuners from a new company..

 

are 99-04 blocks the same?
