Heres the new thread so we dont hijack anyone elses thread anymore.
My project: I am starting out with a 1990 35th Anny that I am going to pick up in december. It has blown HG so that makes it a prime subject for this type of swap. This project is under somewhat of a budget.
My goals: I want to build a 347ci stroker motor and put it in the car. I will be gutting it completely leaving only the factory dash but gutted as well. I will be using this car mainly for autocross with maybe some open track events too. I am not building this car for any specific class in open track. I will probably just mess around with local clubs that go open tracking, but autocross is going to be its main purpose.
Hardware: I have not desided on what brands of internals to use (I was hoping you guys can help with this) or heads yet. I was thinking of using Ford GT40 aluminum heads as they are cheap and provide good increase in power teamed with a Trick Flow upper and lower intack. A E303 or F303 cam would be my choise as of now but could change. I dont know what kind of reasonable RPM range I could safely run the motor too. I know it all depends on internals, valve train, how well the head and intake breath etc. Is 6500 RPM realistic? I would like to get a Canton 7qrt oil pan so I dont get any oil starvation. A AJE tubular kmember will be employed to save weight and increase engine acsesability from underneith the car. Fuel injection is a must. I will be using a manual tranny. Wether it be a M5R2 or that of a Tremec 3550, 3650 or even a T-56. Bigger brakes and suspenssion mods will also acomidate this car.
Ok now what are the things I will need for this swap? Will the motor mounts on the V6 work with the V8? You guys feel free to post at will with everything I will need. I appreciate all the info and help! Am I on the right path, have I over looked something along the way, any suggestions? I will post my progress along the way with pics too.
