I’m going to build a forged motor after this one pops, I’m going to be running e85, I want to see if I can skirt past danger just with the cooling factors of the e85. I already installed a complete fuel system to run regular pump gas so I can always go back.(braided lines, filters and pump) thought about meth injection but decided I wanted less clutterGlad us old timers found this post. Great to see someone actually do it. I remember about 10 years ago when someone got pretty close and had to bail. I would love AWD with the kind of horsepower my car makes. My question is why not build the engine with forged internals and not worry about it....ever? I popped 5 stock engines on 8 to 10 pounds of boost before building my engine in 2015. 9 years of 20 plus pounds of boost and abuse. The only issue I have is keeping clutches in for more than 5 years.
I’ve heard that too… I know for a fact if you don’t fabricate new mounts for the rear subframe, you can drill all 10,000 spot welds and pull the whole trunk/strut tower/trunk/frame rail assembly and swap it for the contour.This thread is bringing all the old OG's out of retirement lol
I remember back in the day....like at least 15 years ago there was a legend about a ford tech that had an SVT with all the x-type drivetrain swapped in. Never posted here, never saw any pics...nothing. Just a story.
And here's this dude just making magic happen before our eyes!
