My work thus far

[gpse3400]

ok here is a pic of the pistons, they came with new pins, and i figure once uve seen one set of rings uve seen them all, they are exactly like stock with the CR, but they are hyper-e and they are oversized along with the rings...ill try to document the entire rebuild if i can.










enjoy...total price for rings, pins and pistons...$240 including all charges

Seen those before They are powerful like lighting!!!

more updates....and an entire build sheet in case some things are unclear
i got some arp rod bolts, looking at getting the rods shot peened tomorrow, they are also getting a competition align/bore with new bearings. also the crank is getting balanced at the same time at the same place, also im looking at getting my heads ported, with stainless valves. then we will see how that does. anyone think i need an injector upgrade? if so ill go to the 4.2l ones.

in case my build has gotten a little hazy let me tell u what ive done, got hyper-e pistons in .030 overbore, balanced crank, new harmonic balancer, flywheel, bearings on the entire engine, arp rod bolts, heads shaved .006 so far, block decked .010, brand new gaskets, ported uim and lim (3400), TCE billet 65mm tb, DHP PT, ss headers, borla catback, looking at WOT-Tech porting my heads and stainless valves with 7 angle valve and seat grinding, add in titanium retainers, light weight valve locks, and CC 26915 springs(which allows me to use the stock seat/seals)brand new stock roller fulcrum rockers, new timing set, oh yah and 3.91 gears in my build Limited slip 4t45e trans, oh ya dont forget the cam, 206/208 dur, .528 lift custom pushrods from the 60* store comming soon and an ishi crank scraper

im looking to beat my instructors 02 must GT, he pulled 202 hp at the wheels, on our dyno at the school. that is also a plus that i have basically wide open access to a brand new mustang dyno with all the bells and whistles. any guesses on hp output

[RedBird]

he only did 202 whp in a 02 GT? Is it automatic? even then something sounds wrong, they were rated 260 crank......

My guess is 220ish

[gectek]

well yah its an auto with flowmasters, but that is about right with 20% driveline loss...that would be 260/5=x then 260-x, maybe more like 23-25% but n e way, its in need of a good tuneup anyway, he just keeps the outside clean, i would be just great with 208, just enough to beat him, but id like more in the 220 range

my instructor just offered me me unlimited dyno tuning time when i get my car done. now thats cool...
