build the motor up first

[rocknbronco]

build it or you will be sorry and broke with no stang for a while

[Zim]

i say build it as well

[Thomas91169]

build it first

or

slap it on, tune it safe, and start a built motor fund, cause its only a matter of time.


seriously though, if compression checks out, i really dont see the dangers.

I'm not even going to reply because you know what I'll say.

Dammit! Just replied...

[powerhungry966]

heh ok.. building up it iss... sorry.. moment of weakness..

[silverstangboy]

but if you've got the buy ... go for the supercharger now (I mean buy it and don't install it) then put the money back and do a rebuild for boost.

[rocknbronco]

thats a good option

[MonteCitan]

I say.. a mild bit of boost.. (esp if intercooled) won't hurt your motor at all.. you will need to upgrade your injectors, fuel pump and get a tune but it shouldn't be much of an issue

wish i saw this sooner. Me i through a s/c on my shit when it had about 112K and that bad boy lasted at low psi till about 132K before i had issues. But yes def build up or buy a short block cause you'll end up like me a nixe fox sittin ur garage waiting to be driven again i miss my car
