I foresee a 2.9 in his future...

And now I'm dead inside.

Have you noticed NONE of my threads stay anywhere remotely close to being on the rails?

Rails are for sissies. Live on the edge...

every 302 block wishes it was a 5.3.

And every 5.3 wishes it was a 5.9

 

[Ramcharger90]

Ok first of all ditch the 302, then get a 351w get that punched out to a 398 then get the biggest turbo you can find and make 1200hp

Not to derail @Dirtman 's thread (LOL), but I've been thinking pretty strongly on dropping an M90 on top of the 4.0 with the Moddbox kit, but I'd have to get the SC pretty cheap. $2000 for 60hp seems a bit steep.

I have a M?? off of a 3.8 but it's the one setup for tubing and an intercooler. I'm not certain what model it is.

Well considering 4 grand will only give you about 100hp more with just slapping the trick flow upper kit on.

Hey Dirtman I have 2 blocks lying around the 5.0 from that exploder I took back out of the ranger. Needs rebuilding completely ill sell you that one cheap after my friend uses it to mock up the 41 Plymouth he is building. If you just want a good block and you are not worried about the rotating assembly or what pistons
