does anyone think that this would be possible at all? if it is i would like to try it if i ever get a lot of extra money :P


Ultimately, you can achieve 600 hp and 7,000 rpm with a 300ci Ford six. Just imagine the possibilities in your sleeper street car.



here is the link for the site i got the idea from(it at the bottom):

prolly not maybe in torque

yeah. that seems a little far-fetched.

Hmm. I was thinkin BS til I read the article... very interesting. Try it, and tell us what happens! Even if you can't get 600hp, you still have a bulletproof engine. I beat the **** out of my '95 4.9, and I never once had any engine issues. It was a breeze changing oil too... only car I've changed oil filters on without getting ANY oil on my hand.

Well, I honestly doubt it. Those guys have 20 to 40 years building performance engines but I doubt anybody would want to try that on the 4.9 6. It's simply not built that way....

COULD it be done? Probably but we are talking thousands and thousands of dollars and by time you got done replacing, supporting, strengthening EVERYTHING, it would only be a 4.9 in name.....


Good read on the article though!

i take what i said back you can get 600 horse. with a 500 shot of nitrous

Why not stick a crate engine in instead?

Keeblerz28

Yea, but name an engine that you DON'T have to spend thousands of dollars replacing parts, rebuilding, etc to get to 600hp.

Franchi

True that. I'm betting the truck gets 1.3 blocks before the engine blows though.....

Franchi

True. Any modular will need that. But if I had my choice, I'd take a 4v 5.4 :-) Slap a Paxton / Whipple / Kenne Bell and boom, close to if not over 600+ horses....

Then again, there's all those pesky supporting systems like fuel delivery, transmissions, clutch, axels, driveshafts that have to support the engine's power output. lol
