GT500 Predator engine block

They are toys but thanks.
I used to race and I know exactly how expensive a serious race effort is. Sounds like you have multiples.
Just enjoy and stay safe.

You're not kidding! I thought the stuff added up quickly before the pandemic but it has since gotten to be even more expensive to build something of this caliber. I'm pretty confident it will all be more than worth it the first time I drive the car to the track, peel off a 7sec time slip and drive it back home with the a/c on

Now your just piss’n me off.

Definitely enjoy yourself. The memories will always be there. Even if you get old like me and they start to fade.

LOL, I can build you one for a fee too. This is a build I just finished up for a customer/ buddy of mine. 2000 with a Gen 2 swap, Gen 3 Whipple, pullied for about 700ish hp, has a/c, power windows, forward & rear facing cameras, track capable street car.

M-6010-M52B is the kr3z-6010 production block but " Includes plugs and dowels, and oil squirters". If you order kr3z-6010 from the dealer, you'll have to order these as well. (2 oil galley plugs, timing, rear seal cover and head dowels and oil squirters if used.

This thread delivers!!!! lol. Good shit.

Bauern just said the same exact thing that Ken from Ford Performance emailed back to me below:

There are no differences between the block itself.

FPP M-6010-M52B comes with the additional pieces that you otherwise would have to purchase separately.

I was told that Gen 3 DI heads will work on this block as well

Very nice J! How long until it's done? I'm currently building an '87 Buick GN that is getting a twin turbo Coyote/ Predator engine swap and a 4R200 trans as well. Here's a pic of what it looked before it came apart 8 months ago to be painted. I kinda went off the deep end with this car and the longer the paint stuff is taking to more parts I'm acquiring to make it over the top. Initially I was just going to do titanium downpipes and wastegate plumbing but that eventually turned into a full titanium exhaust from the downpipes to the tailpipes, mufflers included. The headers are stainless, coldside is aluminum. The car will have power locks, windows, mirrors, air conditioning, heated Recaro seats and some cool electronics to run it all. Ecu is going to be a MoTec M150 for engine & trans control.

After my GN is done then it's time to circle back to my Incon foxbody, yank the engine and verify if there's anything else wrong with it besides a thrust bearing issue again. If so I have a few other Coyote engines kicking around that will likely make their way into the fox and then at that point I'll add a/c to that car too while I'm at it.

You sir, are a champion of the people!!!!

I used to build the old fox bodies to pay for my obsession.
Enjoy the cars look nice.

 

[myfast70]

Yeah, I'm still building them along with all of the new ones too. I think I have a GT500 coming up to be modded here pretty soon too!

Sounds good keep us in the loop so we can live through you.

This thread delivers!!!! lol. Good shit.

Yes sir, definitely not a ADM thread or manual vs DCT thread

 

[biminiLX]

Good stuff.
Your info on the FP and OEM blocks are correct.
Also, what dash in that Whipple SN95?
-J

 

[Epiphany]

All that but not relocating the battery?

 

[myfast70]

J, it has an AIM PDM32 with 10" digital dash. They are completely worth the money and the stuff that they can do is nothing short of amazing!

Epiphany,

It is not a drag car, has a lightweight battery, customer wanted it located where you see it and technically it was relocated from drivers side to the passenger side, lol. Quite honestly, it was not worth relocating it to the back of the car, extending battery cables and going through the hassle of it all for a rather minimal gain. It fits really well, easily accessible, easy to change if need be, easy to jump and the tray I built serves as a holder for the battery cutoff switch
