    Hey everyone. I am looking for a good forged rotating assembly for my 06 mustang gt and i am having some trouble finding the right one to go with. I am brand new to engine building so go easy on a newbie like me. Some things to consider is the engine is a 4.6L V8, 281ci, and going to receive a...

    I am looking to get my block built up to handle the 550HP ford racing kit. I am wanting to start with the internals. So I am wondering what rotating assembly would be the best for this kit. Thanks in advance!

    I currently have a built bottom end H-Beam manley rods and CP pistons all forged.. My question is where can I find some main cap bolts? It's all assembled but Im not sure if the shop who assembled it used the factory torque to yield bolts or not that i had dropped the block off with so I dont...

    I have a 3.8 v6 with 140,000 miles on it and want to add a lot of power to it, but I'm not sure if the engines Gona hold up of I do, so I was thinking about boring to 4.3, stroking, and forging. I haven't found a lot of info on this stuff and have no idea on how much this would cost me to do or...

    Hey guys, I've been reading threads on this website related to supercharging engines for the past year or so and just wanted to straighten a few things out as I start to think more seriously about supercharging my baby (aiming for 450hp with sqidd's gt500 set-up). First of all, I've come to...

    Ooook, to start this off I own a 2003 mustang gt with only a cai and borla mufflers with 100,000 miles on the engine. I can't make a decision to either buy a new 5.0 block and build that with forged internals orrr just use the block i have now and forge that if that would even be safe...

    How much hp could I make with forged pistons, connecting rods, and crank on the stock block with a supercharger at the flywheel? At the rear wheels? Would I have to change anything else for street driving with that much horsepower? Were talking a goal of like 700 flywheel hp? Will the...

    timing chain broke and bent some valves causing piston to valve (valves hit the pistons)... can the short block still be used without any repairs... had manley notched forged pistons so the pistons already had the reliefs cut in them... the marks dont look too terribly bad

    ok guys, im getting my engine rebuilt soon hopefully and its gonna cost $1800 for the rebuild, but the mech only wants the engine block not the whole car so i aslo have to pay for someone to take it out and put it back in, so prolly another $1000. i know i want new cam, i like the comps cams but...

    Hey guys I was wondering how much boost the stroker kits from supersixmotorsports can handle? or do they each have diffrent ratings? I know they have a 4.3 and 4.2 stroker kit... the reason i was asking is because ive decided to save up some cash and procharge it instead of trying to build the...

    So I decided to get a a stroker kit to put in, and right away I decided to get all forged and balanced parts. But now that I think about it, I'm wondering if forged pistons and rods with a cast crank will be ok. What do you guys think? the top of the block will have AFR 185 heads, an...
