whatdo you think the biggest size engine that could fit into the 2006 Ford
Mustang GT.
one80out@hotmail.com - 20 Jan 2006 02:01 GMT
I think a 815 ci Ford hemi head IHRA Pro Stock motor would just about
fill one up.

Ayup. Reckon so.

Maybe massage the hood a tad, too - With a Sawzall.

you think this would be a good start for something streetlegal

Yeah, that'd work too, although that 514 would be spotting 301 cubic
inches (five LITERS) to the Kaase Pro Stock motor.

Personally, I'd go in this direction:  start with the all-forged short
block from this World Products 4.155 x 4.125 460 ci/575 hp Windsor
crate engine -- http://www.jegs.com/images/photos/955102075.jpg -- and
add these Cylinder Head Innovations "3v" heads and intake --
http://www.chiheads.com/images/alloy-head-on-c_l.jpg -- (218 cc,
2.150/1.650, 299/208 cfm @ 0.500"), and Clevor intake --
http://www.chiheads.com/images/Manifolds-small-l.jpg. You'll need to
swap out the pistons to fit the Clevo combustion chamber, but even so
you could buy a base '06 Stang and piece together my 460 ci Clevor,
plus a T-56 and a 9", for about the same price as the Kaase hemi alone.

Yeah, that's the ticket.  Street legal. Somewhere.

You could get a car in white with the modular 5.0. That's what's hitting the
tracks and was used in the GT-R Concept. Don't see why a new 5.4 can't fit,
seeing as that's what is going into the new Shelby. I mean if your looking
for size and weight as opposed to sheer cubic inches, these would be the
best bolt in's. ;)  There are stroker kits out there for the mod motors.

My point was, If someone didn't already have a clue about that, they really
shouldn't be swapping engines in any car...

If you are willing to move the driver's seat back a smidge, try:

When you say a smidge how far do you think and do you think there will be
need for any other major changes in the car to fit the new engine?

LMFAO

If you have to ask you don't need to know...

Here's a kind of "how-to" for putting a 1650 ci Rolls Royce Merlin V12
in a '55 Chevy:  http://www.rodshop.com.au/project55p3.htm

It looks like quite a few "smidges" are required, in every direction.
The Roller might be down 60 cubes to the Allison in that digger, but
the twin blowers and 3000 hp will probably make up for that.  This car
has also been street driven. That Allison car, I doubt it.
