5 liter and 2500 bucks to play with what would you do - Page 2

I would go with the 2000 Systemax package, 160 for gears, 180 for headers, and 110 for H-pipe. I would then get a K&N!!!

How's about an Ati P1sc blower. The non-intercooled version goes for about $2500.00 and with that thing I've witnessed a near-stock(converter,3.73 gears)Lx run 11.80's. The rest of the car was BONE STOCK ....

I'll look into that.

I've looked into it and it looks like heads/cam/intake is the best way to go.

if you plan on starting with an almost bone stock stang, then $2500 won't be enough to do heads/cam/intake AND all the other stuff that you'll need to do first like exhaust, TB, MAF, fuel pressure regulator, shifter, good tires, suspension..... etc

WTF....I'm from the south...I've been rebuilding stuff since I was 3

hey, i would think about where i want to end up speed wise. i know you havwe a 4 cylinder car and converting to a 5.0, but ever think about going straight to a 351W. Sacrificing a little now will put you in a faster car later. cause better is the enemy of good enough. so if you think that maybe you would want to crack 11.s on motor, start with a package you can build on and will save you alot of money in the long run.

tireburner163 · 07-09-2002, 01:30 PM

I'm not converting to a 5.0. I'm buying a whole different car this winter, selling my 2.3, and using the money I get from selling it to mod the 5.0 I will be buying.

Don't forget about the $100 for gaskets like Skyman included.
