Unhappy Bad time for my 1988 Mustang

Well to start things off, I bought a crate motor from Ford Racing, Specs are in my sig, All was well until i got a weird vibration so i had a couple people look at it, Some people said it was my Transmission some said it was my Flywheel. So for kicks I called Ford Racing's Tech line. an Sure enough the guy told me that there is a flaw in the crank an its causing my vibration an low oil pressure. So I had to pull my motor out an send it back free of charge.

So after I sent the motor off, he contacted me giving me an option to upgrade to this Ford Racing Performance Parts [M-6007-X302B*] witch I choose he took the price of my original motor plus he gave me $800 off so all I had to do is pay the remainder plus tax.

So today I went down to Bickford an picked up my new motor an I can't wait to get it in.

Default Bad time for Crazy 88

Oh yeah, you will enjoy that! But isnt it funny how the more you have the more you want when it comes to horsepower/torque? Just seems we can never get enough of it, good luck!

I'm just waiting on my clutch an Long Tube headers an then the motor goes in. Can't wait. I just got my heater core out, man that was a pain, getting my new one tomorrow.

I saw that $6000+ price tag and was thinking "Geez, that's expensive" then I read that your actually getting the BOSS block with forged internals!
You have a lots or room for improvement on that engine. Very strong.
I know you just bought the crate engine, but whenever you're ready to bump up that HP, you should get some AFR 185's and a better cam! You'll be haulin.

Are you planning on going with some forced induction or some giggle gas?

Yea, later down the road I want to buy a Supercharger for it. Some of my friends say put a nice shot of nitrous on it. But I'm more towards the supercharger.

I was kinda curious how much boost it can handle. before having to do any internal work? Was thinking about calling them an asking.

And a 200 shot of nitrous would be crazy fun lol
