The cost of stepping up

88workcar · 05-10-2007, 09:33 PM

I have owned my 88, from 92 to now. I have had many dreams of what I want. I just set the motor of my dreams into my car. I have been building this for 3 1/2 years now. I have had NOS, a turbo, and quite a few POS's. This one is just 342ci, but is suppose to come in close to 600hp. We'll all see real soon, including me. A few of you all have been asking spec. on this motor and I finally have them and time to tell.

342ci short block
stud girdle
canton pan
TFS HIGH PORTS 2.125 in. 1.60ex. Titanium springs, locks & retainers
The flow #s are 319 and 213
cam motion solid roller 714 / 728 - 267 / 276 stud girdle 1.7 RR
ported super victor
780 custom built pro systems carb
Spec stage 3+ clutch, SFI lakewood housing
2" X 3 1/2" KOOKS headers
New starter
sumped stock tank, Aeromotive 1000 pump, hose and reg
14 X 4 K&N with breather top also.

All of this was an enormous amount of money, but the cost that I am refering to is, The TIME, the HEARTACH, the PROBLEMS, the CUTTING, NOTCHING, FITTING, PHONE CALLS, more MONEY, So much unforseen stuff that you would never dream of. But we all love it, and so we endure and carry on. I love it it is in me and will not go away any time soon. I will post dyno # and track testing # a week before Fun Ford at Noproblemracewaypark. If GOD allows me to. Also some more PICs.
