Howdy,
I just rode in a co-workers GN for the first time and all I can think of is "torque." Who would ever know that "just a 6" could hurt your neck so much!
So anyway, I'm wanting to learn more about them and maybe buy one in the next few years since gas mileage isn't too bad.
Here are a few questions: Do the engines have 5 bolts per cyl. like V8 Chevy engines? Mustangs w/ turbos blow headgaskets easily (it's not TOO bad, but it is annoying).
The stock compression is 7:1, right? They ride around quite well and certainly aren't "dogs" even with such low compression.
Also, how much $ are parts usually? Like crank, rods, pistons, and how much HP can the block handle? Stock 302 blocks can take about 550ish before they become ticking bombs.
My car project is a 1990 Mustang 5.0 notchback, self-made twin turbo kit using two 60/63 turbos, blow thru carb w/ ProForm mainbody, EV hat, etc and some other stuff.
Thanks for your help! I'm a GN NuB, I know
