Hello from the great white north. As the title says, i have an '04 mustang that i'm attempting to make into the ultimate vehicle, according to my spouse. I was pointed to this forum by "mogs01gt" in response to a question about a cooling modification to a Teksid block i'm currently working on. There's an excellent article here on a Teksid 2v PI combination, which is my goal. I'd be very pleased to hear from anyone who's done this build, and will share my experiences with anybody who wants to read about it (minus the bad language).
I have a Teksid block, bored .030 over, including the forged crank, oil pickup and pan from a '99 Cobra. I have it at a local shop to have it align honed, cylinders honed and decks cleaned up. I've ordered ARP studs for the mains, and forged Scat rods. I'm not going with a power adder, so i'd like to put the compression as high as possible for 91 octane and mild cams. I'm leaning toward hypereutectic pistons with about a 15cc dish, and conservatively ported PI heads. This is my 3-season DD, and my priorities are reliability, power and fuel economy. Hey, all i want is everything...
Anybody followed this path? I'm gonna get reading. km
