Full of story and FoA history, easily the best in his field. If i was doing a high budget Ford V8, he would be the one! Last edited by RASER; 28-08-2012 at 09:11 AM. Reason: V8 Magna |

Haha yeah if I look at that clevor one more time it will be for the 100th time! Its sooooo pretty! Thats one of the lead contenders if I were to get a crate! Yeah the rest of the car is basically planned already that was the easy part! just not so much the engine/gearbox combo ie if a modular the STD auto seems to be the pick, if a clevo the tremec looks the goods cause I don't like autos. Yeah I know they're faster at the track but this is a 90% street car.

Come on! If you want to take on turbo this supercharge that go Big block. Example: XA 600cu, 9.4:1 comp with a tad over 900hp on pump gas im led to believe.

Seriously? If I had an XB hardtop and $20,000 to spend on the engine/box?
Easy. A brand new (second hand probably) XR6T engine and six speed auto. Everyone opens the bonnet of old Falcons and "expects" to naturally see a V8...it's become, well, boring is the only word I suppose. Do something different. |

Very nice looking engine. Big block all the way in your coupe. Heres one for $11k. Does 5.96 on the eighth in a 3417lbs car. Imagine that with a shot of gas.
But it is safer buying in australia, but this part of your project is the best! Working out what you want. But dont get a crate engine, get your motor custom built local. But its fun looking at whats around thats for sure. Good luck mate will be watching what you do. http://www.429-460.com/t14366-557-kaase-engine |

1 - if its an original K copde car, a cranky Clevo is the go.
2. - If not a Big cube 500+ big block crate motor. 1 to 1.5 hp per cube, easy cruising lots of fun

For $20,000 I would get:
- New Coyote Aluminator crate motor ready for supercharging...$7,500 - Billet 8/71 TBS supercharger with teflon strips + belt, blower gaurd etc.. Under $5,000 - Enderle Big n Ugly 5 9/16th injector hat... $2,500 - Make my own custom alluminium high rise blower manifold... $1000 if that - Custom parts, fuel system and tune would take up the rest of the money.
