hi guys.
i need your help (always good when you start out with that huh?).
i would like to swap whatever parts i can from a sc engine into my car(a 95 3.8l mustang).. any help you guys can provide would be more than appreciated..
any particular year engine, or specific years parts i should looks for, or steer clear of??
i know about the newer blower style (called the 'S' style??) flows better, but can i port and older to flow just as well or better?
is it possible to reuse my mustang short block that way to utilize a 9.5:1 compression ratio instead of the 8.5:1 of the sc?? there are numerous mustang 3.8s running 11lbs of boost or higher with centrifical blowers utilizing stock compression, why not a sc blower? i would of course retard the timing to prevent detonation.
i would like to give the heads a full race port, same with the intake, and i've heard of porting the blower as well..morana cam, etc..
please give me your thoughts, ideas, and/or point me to someone that has been there and can help.
If at all possible i would really like to top off my mustang 3.8 with the top end of a sc engine..i have the capability to tune very well to prevent detonation, and i know i can make more power if i run a 9.5:1 comp as opposed to 8.5:1.
i just want to make sure my bottom end is strong enough to handle, say 89 sc parts??full port etc...
thanks for all the help in advance.
sincerely,
matt boshar
