Technology Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Built well, it doesn't matter what brand you use, any big block v8 with a huge turbo will make 1000hp easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustPaus_88TSi Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Just like the Quest motor which is why he, like many others, wants to swap out the motor. Why don't you find something productive to do rather than commenting on every post I make. Seriously, are you that pathetic? I'm sorry, I tend to follow morons around. Idiots make me laugh. Grow up.

JustPaus_88TSi Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 (edited) Yep, grow up.. Thinking it's all about you.. I guess sarcasm is wasted on you. Since I have to justify to you why i'm responding to a thread i'm already participating in, I had to say something to someone who thinks a 426 Hemi is somehow subpar in any way.. I would've agreed if you meant the newer Hemi's, but you didn't.. Name a stock V8 that made more actual power and torque. Being a fanboy doesn't equate to having actual knowledge.

Star_V8_Quest Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 (edited) ford 427 The twin four-barrel setup with the high-riser induction system is estimated to have delivered over 500 hp Edited April 10, 2008 by Star_V8_Quest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustPaus_88TSi Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 That doesn't cut it though.. I recently saw a show on a lot of the old V8's and what they made at the crank in stock form.. From 327's to Boss 429's.. All engine dyno'd.. Nothing made more than the 426 Hemi.. I don't want to say what it made as I don't recall off hand, but it was rediculous enough that I didn't believe it at first due to the amount of torque.. I'm trying to find the info on the show..

I'm trying to find the info on the show.. that quote i made above was at the rear wheels and was conservative at the time.it is hard to get realistic numbers from back them because of insurance ratings and the companies "dumbing" down the HP/Tq ratios. the hemi is one bad engine,but the ford CJ engines are also mean and the dodge 440 is a better engine. in stock forms,the 426 hemi and wedge and the 440 along with the ford cobra engines are nasty.

Conquest351 Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Supra killer huh? Well that all depends on what you intend to do with the car. Is it just to kill your buddy and make him whine like a little girl? Are you actually going to want to drive this thing around? Do you just want it to go straight? Do you want it to handle? Check it out, there are a few simple things to consider in order to build an appropriate vehicle for anything. Weight Traction Suspension Less weight = go faster. (Words I live by) More traction = go faster. Correct suspension = stay faster. So with that said, there are a few things you also need to decide. Do you want to stay 4 cyl? 6 cyl? V8? Honestly, if you want to go balls to the wall, and I'm a devout Ford fan, the LS series of engines that Chevrolet has been producing are insane. Heads flow great with many factory upgrades, great stock camshafts, all aluminum engine (see less weight), great aftermarket availability, and insane durability. So, my vote would be an LS6 or LS1 with LS6 heads & cam and a pair of CORRECTLY SIZED turbochargers. You're going to be in the 700-900hp area pretty easily with that setup. You can throw a T56 6-speed transmission behind it so you don't have to worry about gearing as it's got 2 overdrives (5th & 6th are both less than 1:1 actual gears vary from model to model). Don't forget to have someone fab you up some subframe connectors and you should be good to go. That's just my 2.6 cents though.

Or any COPO??? limited run 63 Corvettes with 552 big blocks?? or do those not count? i didnt get a copy of the rules. lol :confused0024: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustPaus_88TSi Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 (edited) Sure. I'm not saying the Hemi was the best ever made, especially when it comes to specialty low run examples like you mentioned. My point is that the Hemi was far from weak. It's like saying a honda engine can't rev past 5K, it's just obsurd and out of nowhere. I wouldn't even try to build a Hemi powered anything, it's just not cost productive compared to sooooo many other motors. But I have to give respect where it's due.

MainstreaM Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 It's easier than everyone makes it out to be. I can show you how in two simple steps. Step 1. Buy a Supra Step 2. Spend more money than he did. Kane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laters, Brian The only problem with the LS series motor is you will end up spending a bit of money and most aftermarket parts are very expensive for it. A 302 or 351 would definitely be cheaper and produce comparable numbers for a lot less money. But if money isn't a problem, then you can do whatever you think is best.

A 302 or 351 would definitely be cheaper and produce comparable numbers for a lot less money. But if money isn't a problem, then you can do whatever you think is best. I had a 351 in my Quest. It was anything but cheap. LOL I was over $30k into that car when I got rid of it. BUT, that was mostly due to my indecision on what exactly I wanted out of the car. Spent a lot of money on stuff I shouldn't have. Oh well. You can get a drivetrain out of a wrecked GTO or something for pretty cheap I'd think. Ebay is awesome. But like you said, it's all about the all mighty "Cubic Dollar". How much money do you wanna spend on this project man. That's the best way to figure out what you can do.
