Need info......
I'am new the 5.0L world, and first thing i need to know is......
What are the spec's of my motor.
I bought a bone stock 88 lx 5.0L H.O. , i need to find out
what "heads" i have ? i've looked on them front and back, and cant find the markings.
Also what "cam" is in it ?
The delimha:.......I bought the 88 lx as a donor car for my current project "94 ranger splash"
The 88 is a speed dencity, but i have the cpu and meter, etc for a mass air conversion.
My ranger will have a 5.0L H.O. - C6 - np 205 ( 4x4 )
I went to the local engine shop to get her rebuilt with some extra ponies, i have no need for a 125MPH ranger, but i would like about 300 horses, and about the same for torque, and he qouted me at about $ 4500 CDN, this would include a full rebuild - a cam - and a set of edelbrock heads.
Now this sounds a bit priecy to me, my thoughts were, a crate motor might be the way to go, if i have to dish out that kinda dough.
I'de like to know any and all of your thoughts or suggestions on what would be the best way to go about attaining 300HP and Big torque #'s.
Thanks in advance
