alright, i just want a little feedback/power estimates and tips and whatnot on the setup i plan on running

-starting with a 88 standard output, putting in HO pistons and rods, new bearings, re-ring, and a double roller timing set
-trick flow stage 1 cam (can get the specs if desired, its similar to an E303, but with more exhaust lift and duration)
-E7TE heads, stock valves, probably gasket matching the exhaust ports, and cleaning the intake side a bit, with trick flow springs, locks and retainers
-stock HO intake manifold with a phenolic spacer(most likely a temporary item)
-stock HO throttle body half shafted and smoothed out
-19# injectors
-70mm MAF from a 94+ mn12
-stock fuel pump untill i can afford a new one
-stock ignition
-u/d crankshaft pulley, the power steering, a/c and smog pump will be ditched
-egr, emmissions, and all that crap will be gone
-flowtech long tube headers, probably gonna run 2.5" xhaust out the sides, maybe ill run mufflers
-electric fan

as for drivetrain, im probably going to use a 4cylinder T5 for break in, and an OE replacement clutch, so i can save up to get a decent T5 for a 5.0, and my rear is currently an open 7.5 with 3.27's

How you going to get through emissions inspection like that?

 

[Tbird232ci]

as long as the engine is running good and clean, there wont be any problems, and i only have to worry about it once every 2 years

the only thing they ask for is cats, and full exhaust, which with long tube headers, exhaust swapping isnt terribly hard

 

[Tbird232ci]

anybody? hmm

Those mods should put you at about 220-240rwhp...

Not bad beginning mods for a 302..

not too bad, so that should be roughly 250-270 at the flywheel, and definatly more room to build

wouldnt do too bad motivating this car, especially with a 5-speed

Or just take a trip down to NC and buy my 88GT 5.0 HO motor

$350 and just install your intake and you be having 225 instantly

haha, for 350, i could probably have the 5.0 i have sitting in my car and just abour running

i have connections on the brackets, wiring harness and all that good stuff, just need a MAF computer

also, i decided, im keeping the power steering, and since my longtubes supposivly clear the AOD, ill be running the automatic for a while

emissions and EGR are still getting ditched
