Guest DatsunLS6ZX Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 Is this swap possible? http://www.seanhylandmotorsport.com/index.shtml http://www.seanhylandmotorsport.com/shm_cust.shtml http://www.seanhylandmotorsport.com/handout1.pdf Would it be possible to get that kind of HP out of it? Would it fit in the engine bay? Would it be street legal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest twdavis4400 Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Not to sound like other memeber on here regaurding posts like this. But if you look at your car and the read the posts on this site even on this same page. You will find on this site pages and pages about how the 4.6l and 5.4l Motors well not work with out haveing to do alittle FRAME work. You know cutting out the frame and fabing up a new one.

Guest Nic-Rebel450CA Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 I know for a fact it would be stupid. What kind of issues do you have going on where you would even think about needing half of that HP?? I think you should check-in with a doctor. And then you think that the car would be streetable?! I SINCERELY hope you meant to type 500HP not 2500HP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavy Z Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Hello DatsunLS6ZX, Anything is possible. 2500 hp in any car would require quite a bit of work. It would probably be as streetable as a firetruck powered by two jado rockets strapped on top. Even with 400 rwhp you'll have traction problems through third gear. With half the figure you're after you'd be able to peel out at 140. I think it's a great idea, follow your dreams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueovalz Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 The newer Ford SB is about 9" wider than the old 302. It would still fit in between the strut towers, and the exhausts do angle down more coming off the heads than the 302 did. It weighs more than the 302 though. "Is is possible", yes. What we need is someone to prove it though. Are you up to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nic-Rebel450CA Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 What we need is someone to prove it though. Are you up to it? Please God no.. If any car with 2500 HP ever sees the street, I will personally lobby to make it illegal. BTW, as a point of referrence, supercharged alcohol funny-cars just make about 2500 HP...

MrWOT Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Maybee you're looking at this all wrong. He just wants to put in 0.5:1 drive gears and get up to say..... 500MPH! Ludacris Speed... GOOO!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moridin Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Its not as hard to make that much power out of those blocks as you may think. My mom's 03 Cobra is making 500RWHP with nothing more than bolt-ons and a ported stock Eaton blower. Switching over to a T88? turbo with an X2C kit will net close to 1000HP to the rear wheels. With a heavy 03 Cobra, they were in the high 8s with a full interior if I remember correctly. Good luck trying to fit that sucker in there. The block may be light, but those heads are going to weigh as much if not more than it. Word for the wise, buy the block from SHM, then send it somewhere else. Lots of broken motors from them. Not a good idea. Superior Performance in SoCal would be your best bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
