Charles getting into a build outside his comfort zone. I like it. V8s are so fun to build. I bought an old 5.0 from a Fox body and taught myself how to take it apart and rebuild it. I didn't have the fancy tools or knowledge of bolt fighting procedures back then, so it didn't turn out well, but I learned a lot and had a ton of fun.

@patrickpl94 Жыл бұрын

This is a fun series. I grew up in the 2v and ls1/lt1 era. So I know this rivalry pretty well since I was in it myself with a 2v back in the day. From past experience, the 2v already lost to the ls1 before the competition even began. However, with some dedication I know the potential here. With how light these cars were, some guys on the forums used to be deep in the 12s and in high 11's with crazy gearing (~4.56s), weight reduction, welded axle tubes and a good set of control arms, welded torque boxes and of course some great driver mod. I know that doesn't sound "fast" by modern standards, but back in the mid to late 2000's that was a big deal. Of course, if you had a Fbody with an LS, you were one hot cam away from deep 11s without much effort. At that point the only option to stay competitive was boost.

@HumbleMechanic Жыл бұрын

awesome insight. I can't say what will happen, but it's pretty good. HAHA

@TeensierPython Жыл бұрын

Yeah the LS1 is a monster. But a high reving 4.6 with a good power-adder is no slouch.

@patrickpl94 Жыл бұрын

@@TeensierPython Typically the high reving variant of the 4.6 would be the 4v version. When you talk 4v, that's more cobra and mach1 territory. Those rev to 7k from the factory. The 2v typically doesn't like getting pushed much past 6k unless you have some valvetrain work done to it. But that doesn't mean you can't squeeze power out of them. I almost had 500whp out of mine with light valvetrain work and 10psi of boost. Quite an accomplishment with the stock bottom end. Good enough to trap 120mph in the 1/4 which is almost on par with my bigger turbo mk7 golf R

If I were you I would have scooped up a 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada for next to nothing. Stock they're 275hp and AWD with a 4.2L Vortech. Surely would own the rallycross and be quicker than the mustang in autocross. But of course it's a truck and weighs 4,440 lbs. Would have been a really odd curveball in the competition. They go for $3000-$5000.
