Car back from the dead....no more blower.
OK...been a while since I really made a meaningful post. Here is the deal:
Memorial Weekend I blew my motor. I had been running a Novi-2000. A section of ring land broke loose and decided to crush a plug. When the motor was torn-down, we also found a ground strap screw logged in the intake which also caused a mess of the head. I have no idea how to explain that. Bottom line...motor was toast.
The car is now back. I had a 2005 2v 4.6 motor put in it, added LT's, a Procharger, and a Stage 2 Cam. The entire swap cost me $200 because I traded my blower in return for all parts and labor. This also included a new chip and a dyno tune.
Car made 286/300. The car needs a re-tune soon to correct some idle issues (cams) and to dial-in the power. I am also going to install some UDPs and should be arounmd 305 rwhp once all donw. Not bad for a stock block and all n/a.
The car runs great...nice and strong, but I miss the boost. It was a bunch faster before. It is also insanely loud at WOT.

yeah thats what i was thinking... 05 3v. 286/300 is what some of the 5.4 guys are making if i remember right. they may have some more torque, but still. Nice. I wonder how bad of a job that was? Change computers or anything?

LOL - I am reading these posts and replying and not reading the whole way through......
The motor is a 2005 2V that came not from a truck.....come one....keep guessing...
BTW, the idle is perfect now....car needed a new battery.

42lb injectors are pretty standard for that blower...you can use the 39'b injectors off of a cobra as well but you would need adapters. both of those injectors will get your car to 500-550 hp to the wheels max.
back on track...im thinking the motor is out of a crown victoria...
