Finally started the build!
Just got back from the shop (horsepower by herman) and bought my block, got the BOSS 5.0 modular.
Going with 9.2:1 compression, and matched with a small KB or 2.3 whipple, haven't decided yet, going to keep it low power, around 550 to the wheels. Soon to follow is the T-56 Magnum with the 2.97 1st ratio and some custom comp blower cams similar to the stage 3's. Putting the Mach on the lift tonight or tomorrow morning at my buddies house to drop the motor/k-member and send it off to the machine shop. More info to follow as the build continues.

Re: Finally started the build!
Why an expensive block only to keep the power around 550?

Re: Finally started the build!
What he said. I'm about 550 with an iron 4.6 block bored and stroked. Probably could have gotten there without the boring even.

Re: Finally started the build!
550 to the wheels is possible with stock cobra longblock and 13psi of boost out of a KB/whipple...
However, if you want the headroom for more, I think you'll have the foundation for it. Tony

This whole build is going to be overkill for my application, but I really don't want to have to replace the engine or trans ever again, no matter what i do to it.

Re: Finally started the build!
You can throw all the money you have into it and build it as strong as humanly possible, that still wont guarantee something wont break. Again your spending an awful lot of money on a block that you don't plan on pushing too it's limits.

Re: Finally started the build!

Re: Finally started the build!
Yeah I agree with you Scott, but it seems logically that if i buy the best parts available, it should not only hold a ton of power, but also have the longevity that i'm looking for.

Re: Finally started the build!
Sounds like a great combo.
You are doing the right thing. Build it bigger than you think you are going to need it...you won't regret that decision. good luck with the build...

Re: Finally started the build!
Here are a few pics of the tear down, I didn't get many pics of disconnecting all the connectors because thats pretty self explanatory, but it took me and another buddy 8 hours to put the car on the lift, disconnect everything, drop the k-member, and put the motor on an engine stand. I put the k-member up myself today and reconnected all the suspension, it was a learning experience and it was a lot of fun.
biggest challenges: unbolting the starter with long tubes and stock K-member taking the power steering pump and lines off other than that it was a pretty straightforward job for never having taken a 4.6 modular motor out

Re: Finally started the build!
oh yes i know this difference very well... i plan to build the fuel system on the initial build to support 700 to the wheels, because i know down the road i'll get used to the 550 to the wheels like a crazy person and decide i need/want more. then all i need is a new blower and a tune, but until that day it'll be an under-worked engine, trans, and fuel system, and I'm just fine with that. Thanks for all the good words guys, I won't have many more pictures until I return from Afghanistan, unless I can get the guys at the shop to take some pics as the build comes along, then I'll post those up.
