This things just for fun, see how much abuse a stock headed, 100,000 mile shortblock can take before it gives up, the other motor is in the design stages right now..... I'm hoping to see 400 or so at the wheels before the heads pop off and go through the hood..

the mock up has a TO4B on it, most likely use something a tiny bit bigger, but I have a 97 here that we are doing next that I'm gonna do two of the TO4B's on, hopefully with a 5.4 Navi motor if my buddy at the salvage yard comes through for me.

Not sure if you frequent it, but TrentK over on the Turbo Mustang site may have a T64E for sale. It would be enough to retire that block.

though for me, you'd have to change it to 10 inches, and you'd have to change inches to millimeters, and you'd have to change 10 to 5 and you'd have to change dick to poor excuse for one.

Kind of like the time you took to take technology in reverse and put a carb on your car. What's your excuse?

My excuse? I dont have one, I built this engine to be N/A and I wanted power, not fuel economy. If I want fuel econmy Ill drive my Ranger.
You on the other hand seem to have alot of time on your hands and dont mind putting together combinations that you know will fail.
To eaches own.
