I've got a 350 4 bolt sitting here but with you being on the other side of the country it's hardly worth mentioning.

The thing to remember about building your own engine is that if anything goes wrong with it the warranty is your wallet. If you buy a crate engine it comes with some type of warranty but you don't get the satisfaction of doing it yourself. I'm sure more than one of us have assembled a motor only to have it fail prematurely. If you do build it, DO NOT get in a hurry.

nice. that Elco sounding amazing. I will definitely consider that vs building one. would take a good bit of saving for that beast, time to put in some OT. I know that building one has a risk of failure, regardless of how good a my buddy's dad is, stuff can always go wrong... Ive not even researched the costs of everything with building a stroker. plus who is to say that a block I buy off of CL or out of a yard would even be good in the first place.
i know its the plan, just have not gotten to the planning stage yet lol Im not really one to rush stuff, took me several months before I knew what a 700 swap would entail before I began hacking the car apart last year. A 383 will end up in this car eventually, I think a stroker would suit this car better than an LS swap..
sadly no rich uncles to speak of. Just your regular old baller on a budget lol. I'd say I could win the lottery, but I dont gamble haha. Need to find me a sugar momma.Last edited by Shelty; January 11, 2015, 10:19 PM.Hellinor- 2005 Mustang GT-Bolt ons, in need of a turbo

lol, that car is not going anywhere, Im the 2nd owner of that mustang, parents bought it brand new in dec 2004 (has an 11/04 door sticker build date) I bought it from them in 2011. its a 78,000 mile car with some tasteful mods, full suspension, rims/tires, CAI/axleback/tune, shifter, gears etc. I have all the dealer paperwork from when they bought it and the window sticker.
never getting rid of it, short of it getting hit by a truck. at which point id buy either a fully restored 71 fastback, a 64-68 barracuda or a 2015 style stang.
