RE: crate engines?? - 12/19/2005 5:33:07 PM    bmnlsc   Posts: 27 Joined: 5/5/2005 Status: offline I would recommend the search feature, however, since I am responding, if you are referring to the 345hp FMS Crate Motor, then does this look familiar? I paid $3000, plus tax in Long Island, NY. I swapped the GT-40x heads for AFR 165's. I added 1.6 rockers, then upwards to 1.72 rockers. The B-cam was retarded 4 degrees to give more on the top end. I added the Vortech S-trim with 7 lbs of boost. Now I have up to 9lbs of boost with the Anderson Powerpipe. Dyno'ed the car at Mustang Magic and with a backyard tune I have 390 rwhp and 397 rwtq. These numbers were with the 1.6 rockers and without the Anderson Powerpipe. I would venture to say that I now have well over 400 for both hp and tq. Mustang Magic will be performing a Dyno Chip and Tune in the near future. I am expecting 470-475 rwhp after all is said and done. I cannot tell you how great and strong this motor runs. I have not had any problems with it from day one. You can read about my build on website at " http://www.cardomain.com/id/bmnlsc ". This is the motor as she is now: By the way, incase you wondering what she sits in, Good Luck, BMN < Message edited by bmnlsc -- 12/19/2005 5:45:30 PM > _____________________________ FMS 345hp Crate Motor, Vortech S-Trim, AFR 165 Heads, Cobra Intake, 5 spd, 3.73 gears & Moser 31 Spline Axles, Cross-Drilled rotors, BFG DR 255/50's on 16x8 GTC Rims, SVPU Suspension Front & Rear BMNLSC (in reply to cammedlx) Post #: 10
