I havnt found this anywhere else for less.

15k is a damn steal for that IMO. Good luck trying to piece it together for less.

Too bad they didn't put A flat plane crank in it

Voodoo engine makes LESS hp than that crate and FPC will be exclusive to the GT350 only.

Also on that note i HIGHLY doubt the next GT500 will use it either since its not strong enough to offer as a FI engine with FPC it would be a warranty nightmare.

Yes people have done supercharged GT350s but imo they are ticking time bombs.

It's cheaper -$15,300 -at Tousley ford .
I have been considering this for a LONG time to replace my damn sleeved MMR 5.2 motor .

Not sure how strong the block is without sleeves though ?

Knowing youd boost it NO! LOL.

Dont buy a crate have someone build you a sleeved short block.

Then again this engine is begging for a paxton too

 

[olaosunt]

Lol
I was actually considering giving boost a break for a while .It would be nice to quit breaking stuff and have a motor with a warranty . it would probably make the car easier to sell if I ever decided to (probably for more than with sleeved motor ).

I bet it would run 10's with long tubes in an auto with a coverter in E85.

I could always take it out and sleeve it when the warranty it up .lol

 

[gearhead2685]

10s ALL MOTOR is the holy grail for these cars IMO.

Asking for more just ends up in a pile of parts

All motor HP and laugh when the FI cars barely run 10s or end up broken.

This engine long tubes converter E85 suspension and weight reduction would take it deep into the 10s

RBS550 did it with less hp but big money in aero brakes and watson k member.

 

[olaosunt]

Man...don't tempt me .

I already have the aero brakes I was planing to run with the Hellion in the car this year .The last time that car ran the 1/4 mile was May 2016 -9.59 @148 ....just before the alluminator broke .
Only ran the sleeved 5.2 on the dyno and briefly on the street before all the trouble started .it looks like engine has to go back to MMR .
Nothing like an OEM quality engine - with a warranty .
This would just be a drop in an go ! probably the only way I am going to get to drive the car year .I would run first with the stock exhaust -tired of loud and tinny long tubes .Car already has enough fuel supply for 1500 hp and converter/suspension and driveline upgrades.I would go back to the 3.55 pumpkin gathering dust in my garage .

Only think I would maybe do is the billet OPG/CS ....just in case I decide to add a little bit of boost.

That would probably void the warranty and likely not needed if it's only run NA. NOT doing OPG would likely scare me from boost ...which would probably be for the best ...at least without the sleeves .

I could add those WHEN(not if ) I decide to take it out to sleeve and get ready for boost....after maxing it out NA.

 

[gearhead2685]

sell the hellion kit and whatever else you can unload and buy watson rear end and k member.

Make it as light as possible with the UNTOUCHED crate engine and swimg for deep 10s

 

[JFox86]

Boosting this engine would be tempting but I would keep it NA. I bet that engine would hurt alot of feelings. Could you imagine it in a Fox Body or a SN95???
