326 ci Boss block upgrade

[GT E UPP]

Nice! May I ask what happened to the Brenspeed B302?

Well, Brenspeed said they no longer have their B302 forged aluminum short block because Ford has stopped producing the Aluminum 3V Block

I think the op of the question meant to ask what happnd to my previous short block.
I had detonation in #8 cylender and a little on # 7 #8 top ring failed because of the detonation and messed up piston. So lost compression in that cylinder..

Without detonation the shortblock would have been fine. Theres people running alot of power on this shortblock and it can be done.. As with any shortblock keep detonation to a minimum.. And it should live well..
With me wanting to push things harder im going the extra mile with this build.
It's important to have a good tuner, proper fuel supply & octain
.. and the more power the more important it is..

HEY IM A NEWBEE BUT JOINED S197 FORUMS BECAUSE I AM RESEARCHING FI OPTIONS AND THIS IS THE LARGEST SITE I CAN FIND ON 3 VALVE 2005 CARS!!! Looks like you have a sick build!! I AM A MEMBER OF THE CORRAL FORUMS not as much 3 v stuff.. My car is finally paid for..so about to build it have some money saved.. I have been dreaming of 400 - 500 rwhp but looking at centrifical because it seams to be easiest do i need the hard anidized coating you went with? if i decided to add more than the 4 - 500 rwhp? in the future ive seen alot of post with Bob Kurgan on lightnings 4 valve cobras and such looks like you have the right tuner with Bob & builder with Bart!!! Top notch.. From what i have heard GOOD LUCK WITH the BUILD!! Hope all goes well..

Hey Peter,

I would prefer Bob Kurgan to make these recomendations to you personaly.. I dont think he would mind me sharing his recomendations to me but you need to consider my goals may be diffrent than yours..
Welcome to s197 forum
I have 3 other family members that are corral memb s one is 89 fox one is 96 gt and one 2001 the 89 fox cuz is ready to pull trigger on his build

 

[2005wantAB]

Thanks.. Im not looking to go as agreesive as you are from the looks of this tread.. I have looked at the aluminator maybe something like that would be fine with my goals.
Those black pistons look good though!!
Peter

Gonna be sweet!! Thanks for sharing..

 

[JPO8GT]

Yes it is going to be sweet! what started as a simple shortblock rebuild has now turned into a total car build.. this car is going to have some attitude for sure!! once you start rolling the ball on a build like this if you can you may as well complete the roll... ITS THAT LIL THING "WELL WHILE WE'RE IN THERE WE MAY AS WELL DO THIS THEN THIS LEEDS TO THAT "

 

[Doug M]

^^ Fo sho..good luck.

 

[JPO8GT]

Bob let me know the shortblock is finished and pics will be coming soon!!

 

[JPO8GT]

I just wanted to post a note to say that i didnt know Kurgan when i walked through there doors the first time, i can be a tad overbearing untill i get to know who is working on my car.. Kurgan really knows what there doing.. And they have the experiance period..
I am glad Kurgan has a shop in Georgia!

 

[2005wantAB]

[JPO8GT]

looking at roll bars now I will scedule a install at kurgan after this build and I drive it we bit.. rpmrollbars has some sweet looking stuff looking at diffrent options and really want removable or swing out door bars..

I'm new to Ford's and hope this hasn't been asked before. In the OP he's saying what length of stroke he's using to come up with a 326 cubes. Can these same numbers be used in a Coyote 5.0 to make the same cubes? Thanks

the Coyote is a totally diffrent animal than the 4.6 based modular I think RGR is getting more than 302 ci out of the Coyote though I am not sure if there doing bigger bore or stroke to acheive the cubes

 

[hapnin10]

Any updates on the build progress?

 

[JPO8GT]

Just been waiting on some parts to show up custom grind cams etc.. so they can do there thing..
its going to be worth the wait..

 

[SherrodMustang]

Very nice build. If for any reason I end up doing a rebuild I will follow this route.

 

[Doug M]
