Vid of my car dynoed @ Rodeheaver's

[Rodeheaver's]

Tim, we can talk that when I can bring ya the money, I'm hoping to have the money for the rear end by the end of fall. my new diff cover is here, gears are on the way, and axles and tlok im hoping are shipped soon, just have to see how I'm gonna pay for it after my lil accident today

oh no, what happened???

[94svtcobra]

backed into some woman's car at primanti's with my truck. very little damage, but of course cracked her aftermarket tail light and took some paint off, just minor stuff but still going to set me back a few bucks

[Rodeheaver's]

that suck man, at least it was your truck and not your stang!! Remember, try to see the good in things, then they dont seem so bad...

[94svtcobra]

eh I'm not too worried about it, no real damage, none to my truck, just hoping the bill for repairs is not too much so I can still get my tlok and axles, then its just a matter of saving up the cash for the labor and time to drop her off to you and throw it all together

[90TitaniumStang]

It has a bbk cai, 75mm throttle body, summit brand underdrives, mac long tubes, a Rodeheaver's custom exhaust from the headers back, aluminum driveshaft, msd distributer cap, ford racing plugs and wires. just basic bolt on stuff




I believe so, Tim was driving



thanks, Rodeheavers did a great job on the exhaust

pull should be in 4th its the best 1 to 1 ratio to get true numbers

[90TitaniumStang]

he wants to keep it N/A...besides....a 393 streetcar = sick

377 streetcar is nasty thus is a 408 blower car ahh we can dream right clark?

IT's also dreaming that a 408/blower car with the mod-list you have only cost $6500. :)

X2..

[94svtcobra]

thats why I'm keeping it na, cause I dont have the extra cash for forced induction, and I'm guessing on a lil more cash for the fuel system andwiring end of things

6500 couldn't even buy the bottom end and with this car i wouldn't even take out to race a vette

[SonofaBish]

$6500 is the approximate price that 94SVTcobra wants to spend on his motor... so somethingclever was stating that there's no way he'd build a 408/blower setup on $6500... it had nothing to do with either of your cars

no 6500 was money in the car that beat your buddies vette and then he looked at my mods and said there is no way i could of built that 408 blower motor for that read the entire thing bud
this was all over me saying something to clarke

6500 he wont spend nearly that much on a 393 swap you could do it for about 4000 or less anyway

[SonofaBish]

no 6500 was money in the car that beat your buddies vette

i don't even know anyone with a vette

roughly 6-7 grand for parts and labor for the motor

this quote is why i said what i said....
after re-reading, its quite ambiguous... i could see it meaning either/or... my bad

[somethingclever]

The 6500 was in reference to the thread where he said a 6500 foxbody beat the modded black vette. (knightrider)

I thought the foxbody was the one listed in his sig that runs 9.70's....

If it was a different fox car that beat the vette...then I suck at teh interweb. :)

very true biminilx, we did a 408 for a guy last summer and it is making 460 to the wheels, it has untouched victor jr heads/intake, and a 620ish solid roller cam, and its totally street friendly, he drives it to my shop from 30+ miles away..

Very nice numbers.
I didn't want to sound like I was dogging the 393 idea, hope you didn't take it that way, just saying the price of a 408 kit is basically the same unless you have some parts to do the 393.
Either way, stroked windsor in a street car is big fun

oh no man, please dont take it the wrong way... i didnt mean anything harsh, i do have a slight problem putting my toughts on the screen, so people tend to tak ethings i say the wrong way.. I am real favorable of the 393 because of the comp height, rod length, and stroke, they have a decent ratio and super strong wrist pin placement..IMO...

[gmkillr]

Rod to stroke ratio is a total internet myth........
There is Zero reason to do a 393 over a 408 unless you desire less H.P. for the same money......


And for anybody who wishs to dispute the rod to stroke ratio meaning nothing, i can provide tons of real world examples that are fact.
