5.0 Block
k, ive read this on a few Stang sites ect. i keep hearing 5.0 Blocks cant take much more then 500hp without cracking it. i didnt believe it at first and i didnt want to, but i kept seeing it. i really wanted a 5.0 and after awhile i was going to do a DIY TT, ect. i think i would make more than 500 with my plans. is what i read correct.
Thanks for anyhelp |
i want to know this to, when they say block do they mean internals or the accualy block. if so do u have to buy a aftermarket 302 if you wanna make more then 500.
|
yes it is true. opens like a melon some say. and that a stock bottom end.
but you can get girdles that help keep them in one piece. look at these. http://www.dssracing.com/ |
Dang that sucks, Girdle? and do you have an aftermarket Block in your stang, RICO
|
nope mines a stock 94 gt block cause i melted something in the stock 90 block that came with the car. gonna be stroking sooner or later.

info on the girdle i was talking about. enjoy the read. http://www.dssracing.com/mainsupportsystem.html |
not much of a read, i just finished my crap i had to do here in 5th period Computer Apps. ill post ?'s opinions ect. when i finish reading
|
sounds like a good idea, which one would i get if i got the 5.0. they aint to expensive either. would the peices on on the existing engine, or put internals in what i would buy, cause that would be alot of work and i dont have much tools. and im 15 but i would try.
|
ive neva heard of this .. i say get one from the junkyard and make that fast as hell...eh
|
untill it came apart^^^^^^^^^
and drifting you wanna make the question a little clearer on what you are asking. |
stock block with forged internals i know for fact can make 660 RWHP :nana:
But its not wise, even with internals.. i think its wise to stop around the 430 RWHP area on a stock block stang. My 306 is the same as a DSS essentially, and its been hammered on a few times.. If youre going to spend big cash on the insides, might as well get a block too... then make 1000+ RWHP :) |
do it right the first time. thats why i haven't touched the bottom end on mine yet.
|
high milage and abuse killed mine. I only estimated it had 250rwhp
routine maintence and still itself. next motor will have a better damper and all new bearings. then see if this holds true about bottom ends :) |
yea i herd shaggy is a little rev happy :smashfrea :knock_tee

all the girdle will do is hold your parts when the block splits.If you don't beat on the car 24/7 it will last you.I have friends with 500rwhp and so far so good.you will be good at 475 rwhp..I say just go the 500..a fresh stock block with internals is a $1000.00 so don't worry.500rwhp is good for 10's so why would you want more than that on the street.worry about the stock 8.8 and stock trany..Dasilvas son is runing 600 with a 306 and he gives it all its got.his car has 2.02 edelbrock heads cobra uper/lower and 12lb of boost with a good tune.
