5.0 twin turbo questions

[lawrence2012]

im currently working on a 84 fox body im doing a fuel injected 5.0 swap and im buying a garrett twin turbo kit and im looking to do aluminum head and i need to know what cc heads i need and all that it will be a street strip car i was wanting to stroke it to a 408 and twin turbo it but some people say that it will not hold any ideas? would appreciate any help i can get thank

[Dan B.]

As far as I know, a 5.0 won't stroke to 408. The 408 is built on a 351W.

[PaxtonShelby]

Dan is correct.

[Dan B.]

Dan is correct.

:awsome:

I have a 351W setting on the engine stand waiting to "grow up" to a 408!! Then stick it in the Ranger.

Back to the OP...the 5.0 vs 351W width and height difference will greatly change your exhaust and oil pan set ups.

Just put a forged shortblock together put a big single turbo on it and let it eat that's what I plan on doing

That's a great idea....sounds like what I told you to do two months ago!!!

Well I've done got the 302 and twin kit And 347 I ment I was planning on doing a 351 that's why I said that but got a good deal on the parts I bought the plan was to to a 302 stroker motor with twin turbo set up aluminum heads and all the goodies with a auto and trans brake I've heard mixed stories on it if will hold or not with a stock block and I really don't wanna buy a dart block at the moment

[badstanglx]

My buddy went 10.20 with a turbo on a stock block just start collecting stock shortblocks

That post gave me a headache. Does your school offer English classes?

[PaxtonShelby]

I think a stock 5.0 block will be very near or past its limits if you are running forced induction on a stroker.

K Idk what twin turbos is going to do one single turbo will work great

[lawrence2012]

i just started at wyotech so give me a break. haha but im wanting to build this to last because after i get out of school at the end of next year i will be going out west. Not planning on driving the car but will no longer have the shop i will be able to use now. This is the first ford ive had and first motor ive built like this. Ive put cams and what not in alot of chevy motors so what im asking here is ive got a 302 motor and a twin turbo set up that ive done got what would be the best way to make a ton of power and keep fuel injection? I know i will need a new harness to make it speed density then convert that to mas system but what else will i need?

[Mark Aubele]

I wouldn't put one penny into a rotating assembly going into a stock block (5.0L). Waste of money. Run the stock shortblock.

[lawrence2012]

forged?? what kinda power you think i can make out of it and make it last? thanks for all the input guys besides for my punctuation

[Mark Aubele]

Stock 85-92 5.0s have forged rods and pistons. With a good tune (I mean safe timing and AFR, not paying someone) 500rwhp will last a while. Save your money on the rebuild and grab a stock short for a few hundred.

i got a complete motor with a blown head gasket. Im just looking to make it last and put as much power to the ground as possible and does anyone know what epec is? i seen it on a forum on putting together twin turbo set ups

[juice_man_86]

epec is an OLD "tuner" Ford released like 20 years ago. I think it stands for Extreme Performance Engine Controller...but I could be wrong. I would and am going with a SCT chip with multiple tunes. Just my 2 cents

[lawrence2012]
