Hi guys, I'm new here but in my time of snooping around the forum I see a lot of decent people on here. So maybe everyone could give me some help.
For some background I'm an amateur mechanic (about 2 years professionally- I'm 20 years old). I've been a car fanatic since before I can remember. And Mustang runs deep in my bloodline. So naturally as soon as it was possible I scooped up a 92 GT
The one area of knowledge I'm lacking in is high performance. And of course it's also the area I wish to become a guru in lol. I will honestly and openly admit I don't know much about lift, duration, what goes best with what and so on and so forth. But I will be building this baby myself in my garage.
My grandfather owns a machine shop so once I get the block pulled the plan is to bore to 347. 3.73 gears and LSD are already installed and I wish to keep them, as I plan to have this as a beasty street car/show car. After being punched out I'm really not sure where to go. I picked up a Trick Flow "Track Heat" intake and plenum and 3/8 spacers along with a 75mm throttle body. I plan to simply run a CAI with a chip and 75 shot.
I guess the next question is, where do I get pistons and rings? Which ones do I get? What heads? What cam? (Would really prefer a big cam for a lobey sound). What rocker arm setup?
I've done a lot of research and looked at a lot of different setups and combinations of top end stuff but I just honestly have no idea what's going to provide me with the best results without killing me. (Bankrupt is fine. But I atleast want to survive when the old lady sees how broke I am (;
Thanks so much to anyone and everyone who's willing to lend some knowledge to a young guy trying to get into the game. I look forward to hearing what anyone has to offer
