460,, then mount all ho accy stuff including harness/eec and injector bungs mated directly to the intake.
now ,,,,,get er done
while your at it,, get a stroker kit for it as well as two 3.8 liter superchargers. That should pretty much keep you busy for at least an hour or two.

You're the one who needs to shut it, son. Do a little reading with the Search function.. we only had to switch boards a year ago to get it. Topics like this have been done to death.. you can make the effort to read up on this shiznit. If you have any questions after you make a reasonable effort to learn, THEN come ask us.
Even with some of the dumbest questions I've asked on this board, at least I've always been searching out stuff on the side, trying to read up on it so I didn't have to ask even more stupid questions if at all possible. I don't always find what I'm looking for, but at least I try. It seems to us like you're just plopping down as many dumb question threads as you can think up in a few minutes. That's why you're getting the reaction you're getting.

I find it really curious that the i'mgayashell guy disappears and then this guy shows up asking all the same stupid questions,hmmmmmmm,makes ya think. As bird 351 said,research and you shall find,can't count how many hours of research i've done. Thank god your not my son because i would have bitch slapped you long ago and you wouldn't be such a little arogant a**hole. O and one more thing i forgot to add,i think you need to go back to school for english not cars "people should just mind der neck if they got a prob" what's up with that?

You got nuttin else to do but to pick on a 17 year old. wow man you must not have a life.. :flip:

No....I think they're just wondering how many times you're going to ask the same questions. Even after folks have given you a direction to pursue for you to look into your own course of action, you come back and say...."Make my car fast. What should I do?"
I don't care whether you're 17 or 47...... You will never learn anything if you never listen to the advice your given. By all means though, ask again for the 4th or 5th time what you can do to your car to increase hp...pretty soon you'll just get ignored....

now would be a good time to rewind......
tbirdera you could start off by doing the old "stare and compare" technique. Take a look at whats out there then pop your hood and wish. When the wallet fills that void,, go get a bone yard motor and if you lucky enough, you strike a good deal. Rebuild it and possibly add a stroker kit.
its a matter of opinion if you pick a 2.3 turbo, 3.8, 3.8 sc, 5.0 so, 5.0 ho, 5.8 windsor, 5.8 cleveland, 460 or what ever. the 5.8 351 cleveland is what you want , happy hunting on that one. Just see what you can afford. Make life easier and snag the wiring / computer to the engine as well.
what level of experience do you have so others know how to explain things when it gets down to the dirty work. Its a totally different world explaining things to people without vs with experience. with experience, you can just skip to the chase and shoot out all this technical bla bla. with folks who are first timers,, some delicate and specific wording burdens the replies.

another suggestion which might help you out (if your serious)
now surf through the various posts about things you are needing.
when you find info,, highlight it and right click copy open notpad up right click paste.
you can build yourself a knowledge base for reference later on. You cant depend on anyone but yourself when it comes to things like this so keep track and collect info like that. save your notepad file and keep updating it when you see something you consider a keeper.

What Chuck states is true. You've basically asked how to get more power 3 times now....We've had a couple of others who have come here with the sole intent of g people off. One would ask the same questions over and over again..... If your here to learn and have a good time talkin in the lounge, well then welcome aboard. I would suggest researching the coolcats tech page link that has been given up above on this thread (and twice before on the other threads you started). Remember there is no one way to ga fast there are many different ways that all work differently. Do some research and see which way appeals to you.

for the 351 cleveland is there a specific year of when the engine came out that I need to get to fit in to my t bird? Or are they all the same?

You should take the time and think about what you actually want out of the car. Are you only concerned with straightline performance, or are you looking for a more balanced package that can stop and turn as well as get up and go? Dropping a heavy engine in the nose of the car is not going to do anything good for the balance and handling of the car. Is it your only car? Is it the one you have to drive and get you around every day? Things to consider....

Post by: Clayton on May 24, 2005, 07:43:13 PM
what does your car have in it? if it has a 5.0 put a dual 2.5 exhaust system on it, CAI, and a HO upper intake........that should make it a little more balsy

I want a car that is mostly performance and that can have some pretty good handle but mostly performance.
