Cool matey. What bhp are these engines

yorkie92

Not much there only 225 out the factory with 300 ft.lbs but ive taken off the p/s pump a/c pump smog pump and blanked off the egr on heads.. got an intake cooler and a bigger throttle body and ported the inlet manifolds and its got bbk racing x up exhaust system.. apparently that will take me over 250 hp according to the americans

My 5.0 came from a 1988 Thunderbird and only made 150bhp

Is your one the HO version ?

Got any more pics of the installation, engine mounts etc ?

dead easy to up these up on power , had a 302 before swapping to a 351 windsor and my last v8 was a 442 stroked power plant in my mk1 capri

yorkie92

Ouch thats bad... did it have the smog system on it??

yorkie92

Yeah been told 400 is easily achievable going to get some aluminium heads and port them may put some bigger valves... but been told amc already sell them with bigger valves in

yorkie92

Yeah there are poo figures but there very restricted engines.. got to change full exhaust system and ilet manifolds and put the aluminium heads on with decent port and polish sould get you near 300hp im looking into the msd ignition pack and some bigger injectors and uprated fuel rails

Probably had smog stuff, I've binned nearly everything and will only be using the block

Got a pair of Edelbrock performer RPM heads to try and get it breathing better
