Lotta questions

[Twyzz]

First of 4 banger stang to 5.8L, what major components do i hafta change?

Secondly, a supercharger for a 5.8, where can i find them?

Thirdly, Where can i find a 5.8 for cheap?

Lastly, how much power can i get off of stock internals on a 5.8?

I've been into mustangs for a while, hell i own a 66 and was gonna drop in a bigger engine, but decided against it cause it's a classic and shouldn't be messed with. I also witnessed what a supercharged 5.0 can do to imports, and i like. Just wondering how a 5.8 supercharged would do.

Whoa, you're 66 stang has a straight 6? I didn't think ford made those.

[BigDanTheMan]

it's the original engine

Pretty rare though.Between 1964 1/2 and 1973,I think they only made about 1.2 MILLION of them.

Quick answers to your questions;

Everything.Every major and 90% of the minor components need to be changed.No big deal though.Get a donor 5.0 for all the suspension n'stuff

There's about 20 aftermarket blower manufacturers.Nothing factory.

Junkyard or Crown Vic/Truck donor.

Bone stock '85 truck motors can take about 450 hp.No more.Trust me.

To do it right,you'll need good machining,good,properly matched parts and dead-on assembly.Oh,and an Econoline full of cash.But when it's done,500-600 horses is not unreasonable,as long as you're not cheap

Apparently you haven't see what the PRO 5.0 cars have been doing? They have just implemented restrictions on turbo cars, cause they were getting to be to much for the other competitors. Turbo cars can make great efficient power, those guys were running 6.40's at 218-220 mph. How's that for an import thing?

Hiflow, you go to the Berlin Turnpike at all? There's a lot of nice 5.0s there. I"ll be there tonight

Can anyone give me some links to where i can get preformance parts for a 5.8? Such as new pistons in the like

About the turbo thing, the first twin turbo set up was for a 351W it's not an import thing at all
