Anyways, look kid I am going to be running a 93 Mustang Gt hatchback with a 460 and possible 6-71 blower. No NOS is going to touch this engine. I am still shootting for 9sec 1/4mi times. You can do it without the NOS. Plus being only 15 like you say I feel that you are too young to play with the big boys on NOS. Chit I am 31 and still scared chitless of playin with the big boys on the track. You will learn a lot from these guys. Just dont get upset when they say something you dont like.

im trying to build me a 18 degree 400SBC but i was told that u can take a 355 engine and out run a 18 degree..is that true??
From what I have read on this forum I would stay away from, the SBC 400. I read that they cannot handle the power and will split. So you can try a 355 or go ahead and jump up to a BBC.
Honestly I am new to racing scene as far as engines and what not but I am sure that these guys will help steer you in the right direction. I am just trying to keep my Ford a true Ford with a BBF in it so I can run in the Manufacture classes as well as the Mustang classes.
well then i will stay away for them then..because i hate to spend all that money and it mess up.my nephew has a 355 motor i built last year and we done some trading on a 406 i use to have so the 355 was my sons and i built it for him and my son robert and anthony done some trading on the red chevy pickup anthony had and then anthony had the 355 and i bought the 406 motor off his dad and then me and anthony done some trading on the 406..so i now got the 355 back that i built my son last year..So i own the 355 now and im thinking just going with it and i have a Brand New Set of 215 intake runner Dart heads im putting on it..its going to be a full solid roller motor.. guess im just going to stay with the 355 now..im not a BBC guy but my son loves them and he keeps on telling me to get a BBC but i dont want one..
I love the saying of "Go big or go home" LOL I am going to be boring that 460 out prolly to a 506. Yeah I got wheelie bars that will be in use hopfully.
Wow Dirka, you're gonna bore it out to a 506? That's 46 cu in. Let me know how that works. I think you'll hit water passages way before that. :shock:
The block I am prolly going to be getting is a SCJ 460 that has siamese cylinders so there is no water jackets around the clinders from what I can tell from the pics and from what I was told by an engine builder. Oh that block is coming out in 2010 also so it is a new blcok from Ford racing.

Nope, no parts for sale right now. If I did they would be in the classifieds. If you are looking for wheels go the classifieds and look under drag racing wheels. Mine are Weld Alumi Stars. Just to give you an idea new they cost about $425.00 each for fronts and rears like I got that are 15x15 are $515.00 each. If you can find used in the size you want you can save a lot of $$$.

Ok guys I might be a lil off on the size of boring. I am still new to the racing engine side of engines and still learning.
