So buddies building a 5.0...

[Josh00 GT]

So a buddy of mine is building a 87 fox basic 302 from the ground up, hes stroking it to a 347, using trick flow twisted wedge 2vs with a .518 lift cam, 150 shot, eaton blower, 4:10s, and a forged bottom end. Planning on running 8-10 psi to start, any idea on the power it will put out or at least a ballpark estimate? have a few bets going for the hell of it but I hear they make decent power for the money.

3000 hp is my guess

[vitaleffects626]

Lol I'm laughing in my car

[Josh00 GT]

haha idk he just thew it out there didnt give me much in the way of specifics just thought id put it up and see what you guys had to say so if i look like a dumbass its all good

[ModularMike]

My guess is 78rwhp after he cracks the block.

I may be on the optimistic side.

[Mark Aubele]

Somewhere between 200-600 at the tires, depending on the number of stickers on the back window.

Is this all on a factory block? I was making 495 at the rear of my Fox and everyone said I was pushing it with that. Dart or Boss block needs to be in there if he wants it to last!

Zero. It wont make any power when the block splits...Your description is very vague though. Which blower and specifics on whats goin in will better determine a bench racing number. I mean shit, I had a stock headed motor make over 400 with lots of boost.

It is just an unanswerable question, guys are having fun. If he had more accurate specs, I think more serious answers would be given. :goodidea:

I've had no problems with well over 500 rwhp and a 150k mile stock block so far :Devious:

[Josh00 GT]

Yup id give ya better specs if i could get them lol was just something to throw out there. and ill admit I know 0 about 5.0s lol ill toss up everything as i find out. and we are planning to take it up prp when its together so those of you that want to watch it pop ill make sure to let ya know lol. and whats a stock 4.6 winsor block rated to hold? aluminum that is because ive heard some high numbers but in reality i have no idea what to believe and whats bs.

Whos car?


Stock 5.0 block isn't a question if it will break but when at that power level..

Teksid block is stronger than WAP block but both can hold a lot of power, I wouldn't be concerned unless your trying for like 800hp+.

[Josh00 GT]

lange's 302 he pick up a different engine for it. and honestly i wouldnt be surprised if it isnt just an average 302 like hes saying.
