Well, I've decided to stop the pursuit of more power in my SVT..... AFTER I install the SnowPerformance Stage 2 kit this weekend and the next generation intake from Tom.

330whp is enough... for now.

I'll be "Focusing" my attention on my NEW project...

A RED 1968 Ford Mustang Coupe with the 289 V-8 and 3 speed automatic. 87,000 original miles, original drive train, no AC. The body is in GREAT shape and so its the interior and drive train.

First step... pull 289 and install 351W and a Tremec 5speed.

well you certainly are putting up great numbers in your svt and the mustang will be a fun new project

Stoping at 330?? Oh come on keep going, no sence in only doubling stock. Sounds like a good new project.

hey 03OrangeSVT why don't you come to the ohio get together in columbus this sunday it looks like almost 20 people are gonna show up, it's cool, we grill out and all that jazz

been signed up for a week[thumb]

I plan on being there unless I blow something up....... Damn heavy right foot[burnout]

351 W ..makes great power but they are tall and heavy!! Do a DSS 331 stroker motor from the 5.0 scene. It makes better power and the 331 is very reliable, much better than the 347. It will be lighter and faster!

Viney your kidding right , The 351W with the stock compression and same heads will KILL the smaller 331 inch stroker

TQ alone will be at least 50 more pound foot , Weight between the 2 engines is only about 60lbs

The reason the 5.0 scene does not do more 351W swaps isnt because of weightits because the 351 parts cost so much more than the 5.0 and there isnt a lot of room with the wider 351

In the older cars 351W is the only way to go other than a 460

Tom

I believe it could, but right now I'm not gonna retune it.

After all we've more than doubled to output of the motor and Tom has greatly exceeded my expectations of how much power it produces AND it drives like stock[thumb]

When the next intake is done and we put it on it'll get retuned then and we'll see how much ASS this thing has[}:)]

Okay, I"ll defer to you as the expert on this one.. I have had a couple mustangs. and the I wasn't thinking of the older cars, you are right that they fit much better. Really? Only 60 lbs. difference between the two? I thought it was more.

yea id put a 351w because of the uber amount of torque that they make. the weight is not gonna make a difference when he is making 50-75 more foot pounds of torque.

however sorry to thread jack. your car is amazing and you have done some great work. truely an inspiration.

Going to call it quits at 329? Jeez man if your're scared then say it! LOL!

Seriously though it's amazing what the three of you have done with the car. I find it quite inspirational so when I get back to the States look out, let the modding begin!

Gosh, you've really done such an amazing job, dude... you're like that skinny girl model that every female wants to look like....except that we're guys, and we spend $ on car stuff, not makeup. [;)]

Unless that's your thing...otherwise.

great job on the numbers man
