Default Re: Any motorheads know about blown engines?

funny you mention a 68 Mustang....

We just finished doing a transplant...TODAY...no kidding....a 302 stroked to 347 came OUT of her and into, well, another Ford "product"....

Keep your eyes open for an F150 that is NOT a truck


And the 68??

It's on life support right now....

Sounds like somebody is building a Lightning that will out perform a factory Lightning. Nice job.

Funny thing is, the original engine barfed out the crank and the timing chain at around 1130 AM yesterday.....just shy of midnight we finished the heart transplant, cranked it over, and immediately went deaf.....

I had a ride in a Lightning a couple years ago and was really impressed with how well it hooked up.

Are you using the blower on the 347?

I have kicked around doing a 331ci, but after last years gas prices and after seeing the power they are getting out of the 4.6 litre engines and still getting good gas milage, I think I'm gonna stay with the 302ci or maybe check into going down to 289ci.

Thanks
Ken
