So I have the 66 with t5 and l6. Just did 8" rear, disc brake, 5 lug, new v8 suspension and everything so I am now able to do the v8!
New thing is what motor should I go with to pair to the t5?
I am not building the engine to be fast. I would like about 250hp (give or take a few) and for it to sound good with a small cam... but I do not want to have any issues because I know the t5 can handle about 300, and the rear end is a 66 with new gears so its strong but its not a 8.8". So I dont want to kill that either.
I found a 1993 cobra motor online for about 2400 re-manufactured engine with 100,000 mile/3 year warranty. and those are about 235hp and I believe they should work with the t5 unless cobra motor is different than regular 5.0
I am not too good with motors or anything, I don't want to build one, nor to do I want to take one out of an old foxbody. I really would like to be under 2500 for the engine itself. I do know I will need the radiator, wiring harness, and computer since I want fuel injection.
Any help would be appreciated, I am only 20 and still trying to learn. Thanks guys!
